BTW, I was at Toys R Us today and they brought out an XBox360. It was just a Core system, so I passed, but they said they were supposed to be getting a full shipment on Monday.

Can anyone tell me the best place to buy games for this 360 thing?

I figure the prices will be roughly the same, but what about selection, that kind of thing?

Thanks.

I've seen lots of games at most places that carry the 360. Today I was out and about (ugh), and saw lots of games at Future Shop, Best Buy, and Zellers. Actually it looked like Zellers had lots of accessories as well.

I bought a 360 from Bestbuy.ca a couple weeks ago, and it arrived a few days ago. Since I don't have any time to play it right now, I let my buddy borrow it until after Christmas. Anyways...

I was at Superstore today, and some of the games there were going for 59 bucks, as opposed to the regular 69. I got Perfect Dark Zero for 59. Also, Rogers video had the controller plug and play kit, whereas BestBuy and Futureshop were both sold out.

So the controller just fits into the USB slots? Would a regular USB device fit into the 360? I am wondering about cheaper options for making the Xbox 360 wireless for LIVE.

I dunno if all 360 controllers have USB but mine does and even says it's compatible with Windows XP... which it is. It just runs really wonky with NHL 06.

BTW, there were still 5 Xbox 360 core units at the Sunridge Best Buy as of 5pm today.
