Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite, HD DVD, Many Games and Extras - eBay (item 300220756080 end time May-06-08 16:47:47 PDT) What do you guys think of this? Ebay auction # 300220756080

and note he will include American Gangster and 300 despite saying he wil not in the description. This seems like a huge package deal and some stuff for my girl and me to play with and we can sell the games we don't want to use.

Looks decent. I prefer buying gaming systems new, but that is not a bad deal at all.

No, MS makes a proprietary hard drive they have the 20 gig ($100) and a 120 gig ($180) drive. Unlike the PS3 that has a sata drive that can be changed to what ever size you want.

Okay guys, got the X-Box 360 Elite and now have 19 games. The unit is okay, but honestly I still prefer PC games. I do want to buy a steering wheel and pedals for the 360, so I need advice now. I have virtually every car games made for the 360 and those I do not have I am buying now so I need a good one to play and I shhift hard like my real cars if that is a consideration. Anyhow advice appreciated and kinda not thrilled with the X-Box 360 as yet with the platform. I hate how I have to hit 15 buttons to start actually playing on some games and skip the zillions of screens of BS... I would only give the 360 a C grade and I am using an HDMI on a 42" @ 1080P and graphics are good, but game play is where it is lacking IMHO. Anyhow, hoping a new wheel will help me enjoy it more. TY Gary

I have an xbox, the only thing I don't like, is how hot it runs. It literally bumps the temp up 10 degree's in a room after 30 min or so. I don't have it in a huge room, but still annoying. I only play when my nephews come over. You know you're old when your 12 year old nephew starts waxing you at video games.

Go with the Microsoft wheel, I think they are down to $100. Make sure you clamp it to a stable base as it is useless on your lap. Forza 2 is good with the wheel as is the latest PGR.

I don't think clamping the wheel to anything is going to help Gary.
You might need to find a way to mount it permanently to the floor of the room.

The MS wheel is pretty much the only choice you have unfortunately

I am not knocking this wheel but do not expect great things from it.
