he will end up having to buy some extras with that though right? I have not played it, but have heard it is good.

I do not have many 360 games, but I do enjoy Halo 3 online. There is a good rpg I have, but I cant remember the name of it. I will look when I get home

Then any of the EA sports games would do.
For shooting games, I say Halo or Gears

If you can, get a subscription to Live gold. If you buy for the year it is cheaper.
Honestly, I was not going to do it, I did not think it would be worth it, but since I did, I rarely play unless it is online.
Lots of good video content available on there also

Yeah, I think you have to have gold level for that. I do not use the netflix option since I do not have a netflix subscription. That and the marketplace has alot of new movies and shows on it already (older stuff too)

It is a place where you can download movies, tv shows, game demos, add ons, and some complete ones. Much of the content is in HD. I have been suprised at what all is available. There is a fee (although some is free), but it is reasonable (it is paid for with "points", which you buy online or on a card at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, ect.
