Good choice. The 360 has so many things it does well. There are a ton of great games out, old and new. I have a PS3 also, but I find myself usually buying games for the 360. I have a day one system, which had the dreaded rrod last spring. Did you think about Mass effect, Dead Space, the orange box (great deal for the price). Anyway enjoy, and see you online.... my gamertag is sixsec assassin.
Oh where do you go to install the games to the hd? I remember hearing about that but I don't know where to go thanks.
