Okay -
I'm buying an Xbox in about 12 hours from the time of this post.
So, I thought I'd toss out a couple quick questions ...
1) Anything I should look out for when buying a new one? (I've heard random stuff about avoiding certain drive manufacterers, etc. but i wouldn't know how to check for that or who i'm supposed to look out for or if any of that is even true)
2) This may be a bit convoluted - but is it possible to have the XBos disply on a computer monitor? Perhaps if networked to the computer connected to the monitor? (I ask because the tv to be used for the xbox is "off" in terms of color.. would be nicer to see the graphics on my monitor but don't know if that'd even be possible).
3) I keep seeing AV cables listed as accessories to purchase... do you NOT get any in the standard item box? I just didn't want to buy the thing, leave the store, only to find out i need to go back for cables ...
4) And this is a purely personal taste question, I realize that, but any must have games I just can't leave the store without? (I know, everyone's taste will vary, just trying to get some ideas)... I'm already going to get XMen legends and D&D heros, and Namco Mesuem box (for old school games like pacman and stuff)
5) any other last comments?
Any and all help is appreciated so thanks in advance.
