1) No, you can use it to store music, and anything you download of the Live Marketplace. No you can't put anything from your PC to the hard drive (unfortunately).

2) Yes. It's not the best DVD player ever because the controls are a bit of a pain, so if you've got the cash, I'd op out for a remote.

3) No.

4) Maximum of four, just like the number of controllers you can use for the console.

5) There is a system link option on most online games, so you don't have to if you don't want to.

6) All 360 games should run. The only problem is if you decide to play regular XBOX games, which not all those games are supported.

7) No, you can buy a VGA cable though, and most HDTVs have a VGA port you can use too. Personally I'd go with HDMI for the best picture quality.

8 ) They're about the same, I can't really tell you since it differs per model. I'm not a TV expert either, so someone else can probably answer that question for you.

Enjoy your new console, and make sure you go for the gold membership on XBOX Live. Otherwise you'd be missing the point of why this console is so great!

For me Gears... I must be the only 360 owner that doesn't really like Halo I know it kickass but never got into it. I borrowed the 3rd one off my bro and played it for 10mins if that and was bored. Again nothing agaist the game or the series just never got into it so Gears is my choice.

You're joking, right?

No, I believe him. I know someone that loves the 360 so much he bought it three times last year (because he can't manage his finances worth **** His words, verbatim, is "Halo 3 is the worst game I've ever played. I only played it because my friends were playing it." He also co-op Gears of War twice with my other friend, but he ended up saying he didn't like it anyways.

Yes, this friend of mine has no taste.

oooohhh i get it now, it was good in the day but now its only alrite. yea gears of war gave me that magical feeling ahahha

Basically what the first game did was revolutionize the genre by allowing the player to see all the events unfold before his character's eyes with no text reading interruptions and got rid of the concept of "levels", which originally were broken down by having a stats screen telling you your accuracy, hit ratio, etc. etc. by streamlining the experience, so that there wasn't any "breaks" in the events, kind of all real-time so to speak. The 2nd one took those concepts further by giving your characters a more cinematic experience, and used the physics engine as a integral part of the gameplay (especially with the Gravity Gun). This cinematic experience has since been used by Bioshock, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc.
