Ok So'll be getting a 360 soon, around september, previously thought of buying a Ps3 instead because I thought it would be the RPG console of choice this gen, but seeing that isn't the case now, I'm glad I waited and found out which console to buy. As a current Wii-only owner I also do some light PC gaming playing my fav oldies on my horrible PC, not that I'm not satisfied with the my purchase of my Wii, in fact I haven't been this addicted to two games(SSBB and Mario Kart Wii) since the SNES era, but like I expected the Wii isn't very RPG rich.

Now to the questions, I currently live in Panama(Central American country) and my brother lives in the US, now If I had my brother buy me a 360 over there and have him ship it over here, will I still be able to send my 360 to MS if it gets a RROD?

And what other games should I get? Aside from Tales of Vesperia which will be the first game I will buy. I was thinking of TES: Oblivion due to it's longevity to hold me for some time or Lost Odyssey. I may also get other '07 games I missed like Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed and The Orange Box and other misc. games like Ninja Gaiden 2, Devil May Cry 4 and Mass Effect. I need to choose between 3 out of all these games, which should I get?

You may be wondering why I don't get a 360 here in Panama, thing is that it costs 550$ here for a Pro 360 though the games are roughly the same price.

Thanks in advance.

You didn't mention Bioshock..buy that one. Oblivion (which I had previously hated) is pretty awesome. If you're looking for replay value there's hardly anything better to recommend

Definate Yes to the following.

1) Oblivion
2) Assassins Creed
3) Call Of Duty 4
4) The Orange Box
5) Mass Effect

If i had to choose 3 from the above mentioned then i would go with Oblivion. The Orange Box and Assassins Creed but COD 4 is really good also

Since you like RPG's (as i do) Then you should Check out Fable 2 which comes out in about 2 months. Have a look at the Trailers and Demo Videos.

As for other good games....if you are interested in Shooters then i recommend the following

1) Tom Clancy's - Rainbow Six (Vegas) 1 and 2
2) ........................ - Ghost Recon (Advanced Warfighter) 1 and 2
3) Gears Of War
4) The Halo Series

And have a look at the upcoming game "Far Cry 2". It looks promising

get Bioshock or Gears of War, perhaps Halo 3. in the future get Fable 2, Gears 2,or Fallout 3.

and you should be able to send it in for a fix up. if you don't wanna worry about that, just keep it in a well ventilated space.

and don't play it TOO much. :P

3 games that you HAVE to own Fallout 3 Halo 3 and then depending on how it is Too Human but im skeptical from the demo but its just me Gears of war isnt worth it only because gears 2 comes out then online dies. But either way ya have fun with your purchase.
