I have 2 questions for you that could decide if I ask for a 360 for Xmas.
1) Can you get your 360 online by plugging it into your PC (instead of the wall)?
2)How many games do you think I could save onto a 512MB 360 Memory Card?
1)don't think so
2)I don't think any, maybe XBL Arcade games

You can't save games on a memory card, and the only way to get online is by plugging it into a wall or the 100$ wifi adapter?
wtf man.

You can save games, but most games could take up that entire card, and fuck, plan ahead and get a wired router or some shit.

I have a Wii. If I don't get the 360 Arcade, I'm getting a Zune.
I checked on the 360 website, and I might be able to get online the way I mentioned. And I was reading about the memory card, and one person said that you could save games on it. So, idk.
1. Yes I did that for awhile before I got my 50 ft ethurnet cable. (Ask on the MS forums they will tell you how to set up your gateways to do it)
2. Prolly all the games you buy. Game saves don't take up that much space.
Buy the hard drive version or don't buy it at all

Seriously? That's awesome! I might get a 360 this year!

He's right, without a hard drive your fucked.
Also, you might want to equate XBL costs into your price checker, if your into that stuff. Really, an Xbox without XBL is just...a box.

Save up for the rest, Hard drives are fucking expensive on the 360, it'll make your 360 cost $50 and you will only get the wired controller and stuff. It's worth every penny if you buy the hard drive version unless you find someone buying a bigger hard drive and selling off their old 20gb version.

but all i'll be saving on it is retail games and achievements and whatnot. I don't even think I
truly need XBL. I just want a lot of the games.

You
need Xbox Live to get a lot of the fucking achievements.

You will need it. There isn't much in the way of single player adventures on the 360. Go gold, Silver is a rip off.

well, okay. I'm fine with Silgle player, and I might be able to get XBL with xmas money.

Actually, I really don't care about the achievements. I JUST WANNA PLAY THE GAMES.
Specifically:
The Orange Box
BioShock
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Gears of War
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Halo 3
Mass Effect
And that's about it. Out of those 7, 3 1/5 of them have multiplayer.

The ethernet port thingy that you plug your cable modem with. I think.
So, I'm getting a Zune 80 or a 360 (Most likely Arcade). If I get the 360, here's my list:
BioShock
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Gears of War
The Orange Box

You missed Gears on your list.
But then again, Gears' multiplayer isn't exactly that great.

He also forgot Orange Box. And so did you.

Once you get past all the glitchers, active whores, and whiners, it has great multiplayer.
