Xbox?

So I am thinking about going and buying one today.

Any pointers or things I should look for? And what accessories are good to have?

I know nothing

get a refurb'ed machine if you wanted to mod it eventually ...

get a new one if it's going to be a tv adapter for halo.

I know you're prolly gonna wanna mod it so i would say look for a refurbished one with a phillips drive as thomsons are likely to die on u....but then if u mod it u really wont use the dvd drive....so get whatever u want
