@gas...if you're not big on online play, u should get your shit modded...i got mine modded 2 yrs ago and the only issue i've had is that i got banned from live eventually...but if you have the newest mod, you're cool online...but i get games for $8 so it's not a big deal to try them out and see what's crackin....i'm actually considering buying a 2nd 360 used so i can play a couple games online, but most of them i wouldn't play online anyway....something to consider....
