    Thinking of picking up the 60gb Pro deal in Xtra-Vision for 200 euro. Just wondering what games and accessories I should get.

    So far ive picked to get these accssories:

    - Wireless Bridge
    - Points Card
    - Live Membership
    - Play & Charge kit (how long it is the cable btw?)

    Games:

    - Gears 1 & 2
    - Halo 3
    - Forza Motersport 2
    - PGR4

    As you can probably tell ive got a ps3, had it for over 2 years so I am just looking at 360 exclusives atm.

    You don't really need anything bar the play and charge kit. Memory cards are needless, you don't need the Vison camera (but it is only 16.99 in HMV with At the Movies game which is a good buy) and you don't need the chat pad. You're fine as you are.

    As for games, you've enough there at the moment. There's enough longetivity in those to get you by for a few weeks and they're varied enough that you won't be bored.

    Cheers..

    Just one thing - ive noticed that there are alot of different controller chargers -

    -Play & charge kit
    - Quick Charge kit
    - Rechargable Battery Pack

    Whats the best to get?

    Messenger pad is very useful also if you send text messages a lot. So much easier than using the controller.

    Ok, I do use a wireless keyboard on my ps3, hate typing using the controller. Must add that to the list so.

    i'd say the official play and charge kit is your best bet the only problem is if you leave the charger in the controller for a long time after it charges (which i did:() the battery life when it's plugged out drops significantly but that's fine as long as you take it out when the green light comes on.

    I have to get a new play and charge kit because it only charges for 10 seconds before the light turns green.

    If your wireless keyboard works through a bluetooth usb dongle then you can use it on the 360 too :)

    Enjoy the console.
