Do you plan on playing games online over Xbox live? If so do you plan on downloading content from xbox live or just playing the games?

I would guess yes to both....LIVE depending on the cost.

Other than that, just get an extra wireless controller, an ethernet cable and an HDMI if you have an HDTV and you're set.

Here's a breakdown of all 3 consoles.

Thanks...not sweating wireless at all because it will be in the basement where my router is....so hard line all the way.

How old is your son? He may enjoy a Wii more. I'm not a huge gamer, but I have both and in terms of a "group sport" the Wii is a lot more fun...

We have a Wii...which he likes a lot, BUT the graphics aren't as tech as the Xbox/PS3 and of course some games aren't available on the Wii. He'll be 12 in eleven days. I'm not too worried about how much I like the games because I get bored with them probably in 10 minutes or less....even the hockey games which I used to love.

Go Elite, it's worth it. Something else to add is the quick charge kit. You just leave it plugged in and it keeps your backup batteries fresh. I love it.

Thanks...I'll look into it.

After reading all this, I think I might as well blow the extra $50 and get the elite.

Halo - Keep in mind if you buy this you're going to have to spend about 100 dollars before you can play it online. And the game has a really big learning curve online.

What's the story on that? I'm sure my son would love the latest Halo...though to start, I think he's gonna have to rent from Blockbuster before plunking down the big bucks on any games.

actually saints row 2 was better than GTA

i mean seriously you can drive a sanitation truck around dumping poo on people who thought of that

Dave Matthews?

then when the new game comes out, i guarantee they'll nerf multiplayer again, because that's just what they do

Ahh.....I ain't buying maps. No way, not gonna do it. If I buy the game and pay for online access, I sure as hell ain't paying for "enhancements". I've laid out enough money at that point....and M$ can suck it. Kid will have to be happy playing friends locally.

    • Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.
    • I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.
    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
