CAGiversary!
Hello, CAGs... (long time lurker, first time poster and all that)
After dabbling in the handheld world only for the sake of my kids, I'm finally (!) making the jump into console gaming this year. I matched a BF deal on a 360 holiday bundle with some credit card rewards and was able to snag a system and a handful of games for a good price (particularly AC3 which my wife is chomping at the thumbstick to play after seeing it in a store demo).
I've tried to read and research to make sure I have all my ducks in order with this thing before the holiday. I created an XBL account (but I haven't tagged the Gold codes or the console to it yet) as well as plenty of batteries for the wireless controllers, HDMI cable for the TV, carry the one, take the square root, etc.
My question is: What else could/should I get done, ahead of time, so we can be ready to "plug in and go" on the holiday or, alternatively, to avoid any "gotchas" that will prevent us from getting things up and running without another trip to a store?
Any counsel would be most appreciated.
