"Dude, the only reason why you hate the 360 is because you own a PS3!" said my friend as he played down a mountain card. "No, it's because it gets a ton of love despite being a poor console with the PS3 being the superior machine!" I replied, as my friend tapped his land to bring out one of those ****ed slivers of his.
"I'll tell you what," he said, "I'll buy a PS3 and try it, if I do, you have to buy a 360 and try it. Deal?"
"Sure, deal."

Fast forward, three months, he actually does it. Not wanted to look like a prick who doesn't uphold his end of a deal, I plan to go out and pick one up this weekend. But I'm kind of new to owning a 360, so could you Microsoft fans give me some pointers?

Anyway, games that I want:

Mass Effect (I actually picked the first one up despite not yet owning a 360)
Mass Effect 2
Dead Rising
Sega All-Stars Racing (because the 360 is admittedly better)
Halo 3 (say what you will, but I like the Halo series)
Shenmue II
Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Alan Wake
Portal 2
Perfect Dark 0

So any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!

Great games on it but after having it for awhile you get pissed at the fact you have to pay for online. I mean $60 a year may not seem like much but if your in a tight money situation then it gets annoying. Should be free like Ps3. I would get a Ps3 now but 360 is always a nice experience. Plus the battery life on the control is garbage

Now be very care of it's disadvantages. However, one game to look after is Forza 3, which I heard was excellent.

If you get live I'd play Halo with ya, because I'm one of those fat kids who play Halo.

Bayonetta is pretty legit.

If you're into FPS's, try Bad Company 2. Of course, being a Battlefield title, singleplayer is lacking in plot, but it's at least flows nicely.

Multiplayer cannot be describe except for the word "Unpredictable". You never know what you're going to get.
