Skyrim is really bloody impressive!
Also I have the new 250GB slim which is endorsed as an Xbox that doesn't over-heat, right? Well mine gets really hot, really bloody quickly. Does anyone else have this problem? It has nothing to do with room temperature because it also happens when it's cold. I don't think it's over-heating as such because I can still play for like six hours with a sustained temperature, but I do feel there's an issue.
I had another slim before this and it did the same thing so I returned it and got this one but it just does the same thing. Could there be a resistance issue with my power or something along those lines? Is this just an occurence for everyone? It just worries me to put all these bloody expensive games into the xbox knowing that they're going to get really hot.
Thanks for any help I might get!

Hey guys, getting an xbox soon. Would anyone like to point me in the direction for a 250 gb console + wireless adaptor + 1 or 2 games?

Even better, just buy a HDD off ebay. The 'hack' for the WD blue drives doesn't seem to be cost effective anymore because those drives are so bloody dear at the moment.
I just got myself a 4Gb xbox from harvey norman for $148; add in the $69 HDD I've got on the way and I'm in business for under $220.
Of course, I pretty much suck hard at games, but Portal 2 was just too much fun to resist.

Hey gang, just signed up to Live so getting into gaming again. My question is, what sort of good quality Headphones do you use for gaming? But here is the twist, since i don't have a stereo Id like them for music and watching movies in my room with too, and because of that I don't mind spending a bit more. Would $300. be enough for a qual wireless set or am I looking at more? What can you recommend?
Thanks guys

My GF got me some Turtlebeach X31s for christmas. Have to say, the things are bloody awesome! It uses a standard 3.5mm aux in plug.
I use them for any and all sound coming out of the TV, but in reality, the aux in can be used for anything.

Thanks guys, just been having a look. The higher end models look like the real deal and no where near what I thought I would be looking at to fork out.
The reason I asked for advice was because even before there was such a thing as xbox good headphones weren't cheap and just wasn't sure with the mike added and so forth.
Thanks again

I currently have 2 sets of headphones. Bought Audio Technica AD700's initially due to glowing reviews of beatifully clear sound and a very good sound stage and they did not disappoint. Awesome sound and very comfortable all for under $150 delivered. They are awesome for movies, music and gaming but the only downside was I had to use the Xbox headset around my neck for the microphone, which did a reasonable job but became a PITA after a while. I researched adding a mic that I could clip on my shirt or attach to the headphones but it turned out too expensive and difficult.
I ended up buying some Turtle Beach X31's and they are perfect for gaming. The overall sound quality isn't as good as the AD700's but they have an inline amplifier with independant volume control for game sounds and chat, plus bass boost. They are comfy enough for several hours of gaming and they cost me $69 at EB. For the money I don't think I could have found anything half as good.
I probably wouldn't watch movies with the X31's only because the AD700's sound so much richer but they would be more than satisfactory. If you are looking at spending ~$300 maybe look at getting 2 different sets as headphones often serve one purpose better than another. My 2 cost well under $250 and they each serve there current purposes very well.
