which to buy?
I have wanted a 360 since they came out. however I didnt have the money to buy one in high school. Since I have an Rotc scholarship in college the army gives me a stipend each month so i finally have money to spend on something like a 360. So is the elite worth spending the money on or no? if not which do yall recommend? and what other games/controllers/accessories should i buy with it to start?

I know sams has them, thats where my dad went to get mine for xmas last year, but as far as games go, id get CoD4(if you dont have it for the PC), The Orange Box, Gears of War, Halo 3, Mass Effect, and id atleast rent Assassins Creed <-- its not that great of a game but its kinda fun to run around on the roof tops.

If you dont want a cord running through your room for XBL then id get the Wireless Adaptor for it.

If you want to be ELite buy the ELITE i bought the elite because the black goes better with my setup then the white premiums.

Too many great games to mention. If you get xbox live save some money on games and just download demos for the 1st week so you can get a good feel for what you like/dislike. there are hundreds of demos available which will keep you busy for a good while

Yeah I would get a new Premium with HDMI. And remember to keep it standing upright (it allows more heat to vent).
