A few Questions from a XBox nOOb

[silverbullet767]

Hi, a few questions....
1. What is the best controller? as Ive heard the XBox official original one is a bit of a chunky monkey...
2. How much is the subscription to Xbox live and how much is the network access disk?
3. How much would I be able to pick up Halo and PGR2 for second hand?
4. What are the best Online games for the XBox?
5. How big is the HDD, and is there a memory card for transferring saves to another console??

The offical S controllers are fairly nice. A PS2 controller an adapter works fine too. The offical controller is about $30 and the PS2 and adapter is about $40.

2. How much is the subscription to Xbox live and how much is the network access disk?

You can buy them in packages that give you a year for free and these packages cost $50. Each month is $20 after that. Its cheaper to go buy another disk and trade xbox with you friend who's never gonna get a live subscription ^^

3. How much would I be able to pick up Halo and PGR2 for second hand?

Halo is $30 new and only about $20. PGR2 is like $39 now

4. What are the best Online games for the XBox?

Wait there's good online xbox games? I dont know any.

5. How big is the HDD, and is there a memory card for transferring saves to another console??

8GB and yes they do allow you to transfer data.

Unless he gets lucky & gets one with the 10gig hd (if theyre still done). Be aware some saves like stuff for ninja gaiden & doa wont transfer to other xbox's, they are a minority though & you can dl stuff to make em work anyway

Brilliant, and can you connect to XBox live the same way as my PS2?? Intenet connection sharing????
