I need a 360 crash course

Haven't really been following videogames too closely, but I am thinking of going in on a 360 with my roommate. I need filled in and possibly need to be sold on buying a 360. Launch games, potential launch availability, price of games/system/accessories, future games, etc. Anything I should know.

Even if you have just a little tid bit you want to add, go ahead. After a bunch of posts, it should be a good source of information.

thanks.
 
It won't help you this second, but if you want information/crash course wait until my XBX360 Launch Thread that's going up on October 22nd. It's absolutely fucking massive, covering every single angle I could think of. So stay tuned.

Are you asking him to break the launch date?

a.) I'm still looking for a few stray pictures to supplement the thread, some of the harder images are taking me a little longer than I anticipated.

b.) For launch threads I always only put them up a month in advance. Any longer than that and people start stirring in their own piss with mindless launch hyperbole and shit. And plus it's a pretty nice advance anyway for such a big event :)
 
It also comes with a Hot Coffee mod for PD0.
 
I just preordered my X360.

Now one quick question: I don't have a HD TV, so I will need a RGB cable (don't know what you call that in the US, but you know what I mean).

Can I use the one from my XBox 1?

By "RGB cable" I'm guessing you mean component cables ie Red/Green/Blue video connections and Red/White audio connections on one set of cables?

Anyhow, no your old xbox1 cables won't fit.

The US Premium Pack already comes with component cables. You should've probably researched what comes in which pack you ordered... and since I don't know where you are, I can't help with that.
 
Here's a suggestion. Don't get this

The European Premium Pack comes with a component cable too. But I can't use that, I only have Scart or S-video on my TV.

Btw, by "RGB cable" I meant this one:

You probabely call that AV cable.

You will have to buy a RGB cable then, the Xbox one wont work. The US doesnt use Scart, its a European standard.

If you buy a 3rd party one (if indeed there are any for the 360) make sure it truely is RGB, many sometimes say they are but are just composite over Scart.

Heh, those are SCART cables over here. Still, current gen cables won't fit.

It was also a joke.

Any word on Hot Coffee or the Hookers?!
