Christmas = Xbox 360 = Happy Koda.

[koda6966]

Thank you Dell, for your low monthly payments and amazing financing.

I just asked my mother to get me a 360 for Christmas, and I got an "Okay, if Dell sells it." We checked, and yup.

I'm also going to have to include Halo 3, and a 12 month live card. Since all I would get with it would be Kung Foo Panda and some Lego game.

We've also bought my computer from them ($500) and my mothers camera ($200) from them and we're VERY pleased with both.

Now I just need to think of a good xbox live name.. any ideas? I have a month to choose. *Koda chuckles on the inside*

I have wanted one of these for so long.. it sucks knowing what I'm getting for Christmas a month in advance, but it doesn't bother me.

Too bad Dell doesn't sell snow tires and transmissions..

Halo is old and boring. Buy Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War or Gears of War 2.

How about CNorris...or ChuckN...everybody will let you win so you don't roundhouse kick them...

pump your brakes fella, halo will never be old and boring

I'd have to agree with hypnotic, about Halo.

I can't stand Halo for more than half an hour or so.

If you like driving games, try Grand Theft Auto IV. I got that game, and love it. It is a good mix between shooting, and driving. It has awsome missions, alot of cars and near perfect physics and graphics! Get it somewhere like BlockBuster though, and get the pre-played version. I payed 25 bucks for it if I remember right.

Other than that, I'd suggest Forza Motorsports 2. Forza 1 is pretty fun, but I guess number 2 is even better (I haven't actually played number 2).


Maybe my choice of above games shows why I think Halo is boring. I don't really care for first person shooters, I see them as pointless.

Halo is a classic and will NEVER be old. Proof of this is how it STILL sells for the origional retail price and used game stores NEVER have it. Plus, my girlfriend plays halo.

Eventually I will get GTA:IV but I'm more looking for something with good multiplayer game play. Halo goes above and beyond in that category. I have to agree with you on Forza though, but I don't need to borrow that. I know a girl who hates racing games and happens to have gotten it free with her 360. It's mine to borrow whenever I wish. God I love Forza..

Forza 2 is awesome, I have had it since it came out and still love it, GTA IV is awesome as well. I just picked up GOW 2 and that game is amazing. I agree that Halo is very boring now. Another good shooter besides COD4 is Battle Field: Bad company. If you are going to play on Live a lot I suggest you get the wireless headset, sounds much better and not having that wire is really nice.

The wire doesn't bother me much. I'll stick with the one that comes with it. I'm trying to keep the bill down as much as possible since my parents are buying this, and they already bought me a 200 dollar .22 Magnum two years ago for my Birthday, my Ranger for 1000 last year, the computer I'm currently using for Christmas last year (500) and a brand new shotgun that my dad says was around 300 (it cost around 400, he's just trying to not sound like hes spoiling me) The total for the Xbox 360 Pro bundle would be near 300 without tax, add on an extra 100 for a game and 12 months of live. That's 400 dollars total, not including taxes or interest from financing. I wouldn't even have a chance of getting this if Dell didn't finance the things we buy from them. I hate putting a strain on my parents budget, we only make around 15,000 a year total before taxes. Being poor really sucks.

Oh, and I will probably sell the two games that come with the system, and use the money to work on my truck. Although I SHOULD give the money back to my parents. But not having a safe vehicle sucks almost as bad as not having the money to fix that vehicle.

Well, I'm glad you haven't forgotten the real meaning of Christmas....

Halo 3 sucks. It's Halo 2 but not as fun. The original Halo was the best one IMO.

Get Gears of War 2, Cod4, or Left for Dead (SO much fun online co-op). I also just picked up Mirror's Edge; it's SICK. High learning curve though.

My Live name is AcesHigh115, add me or give me your name and I'll add you.

Oh, I'm happy with whatever I get. Just as long as I can spend time with my whole family, as a family. As well as bask in the joy and merriment of the Christmas spirit.

There is a HUGE difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Such as the spartan/elite customization, better graphics, ENDLESS supplies of maps and games, as well as the campeign mode which is more fun to play over and over again rather than the Halo 2 version where every thing happens the same.. every.. time. At least with three there could be a random brute hiding around the corner with a hammer when there was originally a brute with a spiker. Gears never seemed fun for me. I'm looking more for games that I like and that many of my friends play/have. Fable 2 is on the list sometime, but not in the near future.

[truckman]

I just got world of war and haven't been able to get off of it sence it came out.
