I've finally made my mind up.

360 ftw. The Wii looks cool, but the lack of software that catches my intrest and Nintendos high chance to dick around with online play(GC, anyone?) scares me.

Im picking up a 360 tomorrow and getting a free copy of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfigter with it. Aside from that, Rainbow Six Vegas, and Gears Of War, what other XB Live games are good and popular? And aside from Oblivion, and non-Shooter titles reccomended?

Looking at your sig, you might be interested in SF2 Hyper Fighting on Live Arcade (in case you didn't know already).

I didn't get a free copy of anything

Just $47.87 off with no tax.

Don't get R6. Instead get a 1600 points card and a play and charge kit. R6 is crap, and/or get a game thats not shooting, 3 shooting games you may want to just chill for awhile with something like Viva Pinata.

R6 is a good game. I've been playing those games since like 1998 they just keep getting better.

Sexy. Does the system come with Live Arcade, or is it purchased/downloaded?

It is in the main dashboard. You will need to either purchase points online, or from the store.The 1600 I recommended is $20. You can also get some pictures and what not, but mainly used for Xbox live arcade games. You will see after it is hooked up, easily one of the BEST dashboards/online setup ever.

Wii's lack of software?? It's been one month. What'd'ya want? A hundred launch titles?

I'll rephrase. Lack of software that I like/want. A bunch of my friends have the system and a slew of the titles, and all I liked, admittedly, was WiiSports and Zelda.

I'd love to give the system more of a chance, but Im sure ashell not going to freeload at their houses and play their Wii all day. I've wanted a 360 since release, and offers more of what I want.

All in all, the big thing that was really tearing me between the two was the price.

R6 is easily the best FPS on the system right now if you ask me. Theres so much to do, online and off and its really well done. Also, facemapping FTW

You can pick up Kameo/Perfect Dark Zero/Project Gotham 3 for around $20 now. Burnout Revenge, too. If you're a fan of those genres, then they're all worth the cash.

Otherwise, Viva Pinata looks intriguing, to say the least, but I don't know if that would be something to spend $50 on.

My personal favorite is Gears of War, which is really, really great. Makes Resistance look like a big piece of shit. I like GoW better when I was owning online (my skill disappeared overnight, it would seem), but it's still great. I've played through the campaign like four or so times. Good stuff.

Oh, and get Geometry Wars Evolved on the Live Arcade. Fantastic little game, costs $5, but it's damn well worth it.

Finally, if you're gonna pick up Oblivion, the Mehrane's (sp?) Razor expansion is free for the week. Go grab it on the XBL Marketplace. It's normally $5 or $10.

QFT, RB6 owns gears of war in any case... (yes i regret getting the GoW pack)

anyway, my recommendations, buy the system with NO games at first, and download these demos, play them, and see if you like them:
- PGR3 (somehow im a non racing fan, and i cant wait to pick this game up, its great)
- PD0 (not my thing, but supposedly a good FPS, and can be had for 20-30)
- COD2/3 (same thing, i have cod2 on PC, and its great)
- RB6 (as lunchy said, best FPS on the 360)
- dead rising (looks fun as hell)
- geometry wars (hard as nails but seriously awesome)

just download and try those demos, then pick two or three game you really like based on the demo, and buy those

Elebits and Trauma Center second opinion are both great titles for the wii.

GoW, yeah ok, that isnt FPS, but rainbow IS, except for the small "hiding behind cover, and going into 3rd person view thing", the main game is first person

How is Rainbow Six Vegas not an FPS?
