Yea yea. But appearantly (and for some fucking time) - the damn things been hackable. For a larf I trolled Craigslist this morning, and saw MODDED XBOX360 - and immediately thought. . .game on.

My questions are thus:

I dont have an HDTV - yet. Will gaming look like shit on my regular big screen TV? I plan on getting that cheap 900 dollar SAMSUNG thats on AMAZON for the time being, but I dont want text and shit to be garbled on my regular setup. I originally saw the XBOX360 in action at a friends house, playing Gears Of War - and I swear I got an erection (or that may have been from his 18 yr old sister - I dont know) on his HDTV. . .I almost went into epileptic shock when I saw the damn thing in action. We also played BURNOUT - and while it looked good on the PS2. . .man - again, epileptic shock.

What the fuck is XBOXLIVE about? Do I need this shit to play games online (seems - for now - youre able to with Yar-Matey! games. . .) - and how much is it?

Is the unit automatically wireless - or do I need an adapter?

So far GOW and GRAW (or I guess GRAW2 since it comes out next week) are at the top of my ::cough:urchase::cough:: list. So is OBLIVION (lost my PC game save. . .120 hours gone). And DEAD RISING (even though Zombies scare the shit out of me). Also (in no particular order): MASS EFFECT (BioWare guys. . .KOTOR), BLUE DRAGON, and uhm. . .Rainbow 6. What else is there?

Can you play games off the hard drive? Or a better question - what the hell is the HD for - other than storing demos and music and shit?

Alot of these games say "co-op" (like GRAW2 has 16 player co-op?) - does this mean you can play ONLINE co-op? I think I mightve answered my own question. . .since 16 players off-lines sounds kinda retarded. But what about 2-player co-op - are you able to play that online as well - speaking mostly about GOW.

What accessories are needed?
