04-14-2011, 03:30 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm getting an Xbox next week and i'm roughly looking to spend between $300-500 , so i was wondering if you Xbox guys could give me some direction in these areas,

Which size console is best
Xbox Lives Gold features
Will my P21s work from my PS3?
What games are badass ( I'm a Halo fan so i'll get that already )
Do the Slims have WiFi or do you need a wireless adaptor like the old consoles

And anything else you could tell me & advise me on. Smile

The slims are probably the best way to go, they have a much lesser chance of getting red rings. I'm pretty sure they have WiFi as well.

I'm guessing by P21's you mean Px21's? If so, that's the headset I have and you just need the small wire that plugs into your controller.

As for games, Black Ops is much better on xbox than I thought it was on ps3. Left4dead and Left4dead 2 are amazing, I'd recommend either one.

1) If you can afford, the 250GB slim. They look sick as hell compared to the originals.

2) A lot on the Dashboard.
Last.fm
Facebook
Twitter
Netflix/Skyplayer
and a shit load more.
Access to Party chat.
More advantages.

3) Have no idea.

4) Halo:Reach (Might want to get Halo 3, ODST and if you can the previous ones Halo: Combat evolved, although they are remaking it HD, and Halo 2 for story purposes.)
Gear of War, 2 was better the 1 IMO.
Forza 3 if you like racing.
Many more but I haven't bought a new exclusive since Halo Reach.

I believe they have wifi built in.

Play and charge kit are useful. Saves on batteries and last for ages. I've had mine for a few years, play nearly everyday. Only just loosing it's battery life now. Last for about 2 days before needs charging but when new they last for over a week. Money saver instead of batteries.

Full 1080p is recommended.

Memory card is useful if your mates have an xbox. I keep my profile on there so I can get achievements there instead of having to download your tag all the time.
