Well snap, Paypal says the transfer to my bank account completed 40 mins ago, the money isn't showing up in my account yet so I'm assuming it just hasn't updated yet. So that means When I get up in 8 hours it's SHOPPING TIME.

IMO game to buy first is Call of Duty 4. It takes around 20 days of game time to complete everything including the online portion. And no, that's not an exaggeration.

A must buy accessory: Play and charge kit. Comes with a rechargable battery and a charge cable. Never buy batteries again :)

I actually have to wait a few days for it to show up in my account according to what everyone else I talked to says even though paypal says it completed, so I have a few more days to think about what I want to get.

CoD 4 isn't going to be my first buy, if I get the Elite I can only get 2 games and I would probably pick Halo 3 and Lost Odyssey.

Holy crap, I go out for a day and you guys hit 3 pages with this?

It's good that I don't need to convince you to get a 360, since that's what everyone's already pointed you towards. I think it's 5 free Gold accounts per new console though, not sure. Not really worth it unless you're broke and REALLY wanna play online.
As far as the HDD goes, I don't think you really need it...I've played like 12 games so far and most of them have mappacks and stuff (lol Oblivion). I've still got 7GB left, after I've downloaded some large demos/an HD video or two. Which reminds me, I should go watch that Mass Effect special thing.. D:

I was thinking that too, I'm very pleased and surprised with the responses to my thread

An Elite with 2 free games, 1 of them being half decent

They are good games, but you will not feel impressed by their looks.

It's only three.

Honestly, if you're going online COD4 is a better game than Halo 3 (too many juveniles on Halo). If you're going to wait to go online, the campaign for Halo 3 is much better.

Sigh, I'm just passing time until I guess my bank clears the incoming transfer b/c paypal says it completed.

Has anyone transfered money From Paypal to their bank account and had it say completed but it didn't show up in their bank account yet ? I've never transferred Paypal > bank account before so I'm kinda worried.



I'll pass on CoD 4 for a while, Halo 3 multiplayer is what I want to start off with.

Take it with a grain of salt, Halo 3 is generally considered to be the worst multiplayer community experience on XBL.

I wouldent worry about it Ascii, transfering from bank account to paypal does the same thing, and it takes like a week. Give it a few more days, If its not done by Thursday or friday Then i would start to get worried.
