    So I will most probably be getting an XBOX 360 soon, but don't know which games to go for in the bundle I am going to get. The choices: Halo 3 ODST, FIFA 10, Need for Speed Shift. Please bear in mind that it comes with Forza 3, so i might not need another racing game...or i might. Please vote on it :)

    i will buy Modern Warfare 2 when its out btw ;)

    I assume you're a soccer, or football fan. So that would be the obvious choice. I didn't like Shift, and ODST is alright if you want to play the Halo 3 multiplayer, as it comes with all DLC for halo 3. The campaign is pretty awful though.

    If it were me, I'd get ODST, but I couldn't care less about soccer. Fifa 10 was very well reviewed, 92 on metacritic I believe. So if you're a big soccer fan, go with that.

    why don't you have Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on your list? This game is a "Must" have! Way better than Halo...

    I don't like Halo much.

    *runs*

    Forza 3 is a terrific sim racer, so I wouldn't bother with NFS:S. Although I've never played the new NFS. I'd go with Fifa myself.

    Forza is fun, but more of a rent for me.

    I love NFS games on the 360! That's just my opinion. :D

    Wireless sounds and feels much better, the wired ones are made to break, I went through 3 before getting my wireless.

    I'd vote Halo for multiplayer bashing times, that and you're already getting a racing game.

    Haven't had any experience with wireless headsets, but I can say that I've also gone through a couple wired pairs that have broken.

    Stay away from the Wireless headsets! goto the xbox forums and you will see 80+ pages of defective wireless sets that won't charge anymore and go dead after just 1 month.

    I tried 5 wireless sets and just gave up, you can get a wired headset replacement for $5 online. I still have the original one that came with my Elite and it works perfect.

    Which type is that? Wired or wireless



    Its from GAME, in the UK (i dunno where you are and where its available) and includes an XBOX 360 Elite, Forza 3 and a game out of the 9 given for choice. I liked three of them so made a poll :). Can someone confirm this, do all bundles come with a controller. its £200 btw.

    IMHO, Forza 3 sucks compared to NFS:S (and I have both). But if you are looking for a more hardcore sim, Forza is better. If your looking for a more casual racer, or don't really care, go NFS:S

    45 pages on why you should "NOT" buy a wireless headset.

    http://forums.xbox.com/8302212/ShowPost.aspx

    and Microsoft "Will NOT" warranty the item. =)

    so once it breaks, and it will. you'll be wishing you had listened to that one guy on that one forum that one time... lol

    Are you getting an Arcade version? Every other xbox 360 system comes with a headset =)

    just be careful with the wires, do not wrap them around the controller - don't pull it hard out of the controller. it will last forever :D
