So I got a free Xbox360

What do I do with this thing? My buddy gave it to me. Can I go online with it? I have a couple of games too. Tony Hawk is one of them. I've had this thing for a week and have been dreading hooking up in fear that I might drop out of society for a week.

I will gladly take that off your hands.

Seriously.

Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros FTW!!!

Oh, and no matter how fun a game gets to be, I still find reality more interesting. Good luck with the 360.

Depending on the HD and what comes with it I bet you could sell it for $150-$200 or more.

Well unless you play 7 bucks a month you won't be going online...

It all depends on what your into in terms of games...

For a good RPG I would recommend Fallout3 (1st person shooter RPG), Fable 2 (hack and slash) or Mass Effect (3rd person sci-fi shooter) which are all single player non-online.

The COD series and Halo3 are the best shooters (especially for playing online) With a copy of Halo 3 and an xbox live subscription you can entertain yourself forever.

I haven't played a good racing game for 360 so I can't give you input there.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is fun for a little while, its just like all the other GTAs with more realism in the environment and the cars...but if you haven't played it the expansiveness of it all will blow your mind.

Ohh and rock band is fun if you want to blow the cash...I won't play it by myself (I feel like I'm betraying my bass) but it is a lot of fun when people come over.

Also with a live subscription you can get netflix movies, download random crap, ext.

I'd be willing to pay 7 bucks a month for online stuff. It includes netflix too?

My roommate has the netflix thing, and honestly, the selection of stuff you can get on your 360 is pretty limited. I'd much rather pay 7 bucks a month to get a proper netflix account.

I'd definitely check out GTA4 and COD4. Left 4 Dead, Fable 2, Assassin's Creed, and Forza 2 are also great.

+1 on GTA4, COD4, and L4D. I play them all on PC but they're all awesome.
