1. Do I really need the 20GB HD version for the $100 more?
2. What cables do I need to connect it to my HDTV and get the most awesomest picture quality possible?
3. For those of you with chillens - what's a good game or two to get? Tony Hawk's 8 is already in the bag and I'll defaintely be getting Call of Duty 3 - but need another couple for the boy!
Thanks!

get the hardDrive cos you'll have to buy a memory card to save games otherwise + if u wanna get online with it you need it to download new game content i.e. new maps for Call of Duty
get the kids Gears of War they'll love it + its got co-op mode
nott sure bout the cables think it just comes with the premium package.

1. Yes.
2. The cables will come with the +$100 version. Unless you have HDMI inputs, then those cables aren't out yet.
3. How old? Either way buy Gears, even if it's just for yourself.

don't even consider the core system... get the one with the hd and component cables.
how old is the kid? if very young maybe cars or viva piniata? oh, definitely lego star wars. young or old. maybe marvel alliance if older.
for you, get gears and dead rising... rocks. of course there is oblivian if you have a hundred hours for fun.

Cheers Cram!
He's 9 - and he loves lego Star Wars so that's a great idea.
I guess I'll get the more expensive system then - and COD3 with TH8. That's a good starter anyway!

Ya, don't touch that Core version with a 10 foot pole. The Marketplace has a metric ton of downloadable content you'll fill that sucker up good and quick.
Lego Star Wars is a great game to get, especially since it's actually a GOOD game and it's co-op as well. Viva Pinata might be another way to go, but it's actually quite a bit more mature and difficult than you might think. It's only on the surface and in the rudimentary game play where it's simple and childish.

My son is 5 and we have been all through Lego Star Wars 1 and 2. Both are good. (of course only 2 is 360 the other is original xbox)
Have fun, Jevad!

i don't know if it's necessary but my gaming friend who has the xbox wii ps3 house uses these to connect the ps3 and xbox to his tv,

Definetly get the premium addition as well as it's worth it in the long run.
Gears of War on XBox Live VS mode is addicting as hell.

i think you also get a wireless controller and headset with the premium. the core you get a wired controller. premium also comes with component vs. composite. if you have an HDTV, you need the component cable to use the 360 in HD resolutions. there is also the VGA cable you can purchase so you can play the 360 on displays with vga inputs. currently this is the only way to view HD-DVD movies in 1080p resolution if you decide to get the HD-DVD add-on. it is possible to get 1080p with the component cables but the TVs that actually supports 1080p over component are very rare right now.
the hard drive is really useful, to me, now that you can download tv shows and movies like you can on itunes.

Get Dead Rising for yourself, and Fight Night Round 3.
