Just something you should know, don't buy a 360 just for Halo 3. Be sure you really feel like you're going to get a use out of it. Some other games to look at would be Call of Duty 4 and World at War, Battlefield: Bad Company, Left 4 Dead, etc. Unless you're willing to get a hard drive, I don't suggest getting it. It's always a good thing to have all the extras, especially a hard drive, if you plan on using the 360 to the fullest.
