Guys, many thanks for all the helprful replies and interesting debate. I appreciate all the input.
My basis for the thread is to try to keep my kid in an appropriate spectrum--ie, not F3 or Bioshock. We tried indy lego, and had a good time.
Ok, so after having my 8 year old hang out and watch me play Fallout 3 and Bioshock (both of which she loved, natch), and after me telling her to cover her ears every 10 minutes so that i don't get a call from Family Services, i think that the time has come to find some games that we can do...
I would donate the points to the Hillary Clinton campaign to help retire her campaign debt or, at the least, let her staffers take out their frustrations on Live.
i'd like to dive into my 1st xbox 360. any ideas on where to get it for the least? I assume i want to stay away from craigslist/ebay.
given the RROD issues, should i get an extended warranty?
any other buying advice would be great. I plan on playing stuff like bioshock, and really don't...
