okay, my sisters boyfriend is giving away his 360 to me sometime in the near future, and i need help. now, i already know what games to buy and such (Super Street Fighter IV, Soulcalibur IV, and BlazBlue FTW!) but i have one big question:
IS XBOX LIVE WORTH IT? this is my big question overall. i want to play games online, but i dont care as much about the other stuff that live offers such as in game chat or achievements and stuff like that. is there a way to simply get the online functionality, but leave out the other stuff? if not, is the subscription fee really worth it for someone like me who doesnt play online that often?
If you don't play games online that often it depends. If Facebook, Twitter, LastFm and the ESPN thingy popping up don't sound that interesting to you either you may be fine with the free membership. I'd recommend trying it for a month and seeing if you like it.

Yeah, seriously, you may think that you won't play online much, but that may change. Playing your games online is really addictive. But, it wouldn't be so addictive if games would actually have local multiplayer (bots are nice too). There are only a handful of games which still offer local multiplayer. If you know a few friends with 360s, the fun-factor is doubled; possibly even tripled.

Don't forget the sales on XBLA for Gold Members, and along with being able to play with friends, you get numerous other features, including voice chat and parties, so you can still talk to your friends even if you aren't playing together.
I noticed that you don't have an RPG. You should think about getting one. I recommend Dragon Age and/or Fallout 3.
Unfortunately, RPGs just really aren't my thing :/ We often have a love/hate relationship
I've thought about getting New Vegas though, it sounds pretty good. Vanquish does also have my attention though~ Plants vs. Zombies is the next on my 'to-buy' list currently, though. (What, I love that game. Why not?)

You can't really do much, with out online on 360. I mean, who are you going to Tea-bag if your not online

Bioshock has RPG elements, but it is a shooter at heart. Just an extraordinarily fantastic single player shooter. Which is why it is not recommended as a great RPG. Seriously, if you have any interest in FPS games; do yourself a favour and buy this game. And don't forget its upcoming "sequel", Bioshock Infinite.
The last shooter I played and enjoyed was Perfect Dark for the N64, and that was only because I liked its capture the flag mode. So yeah, I'm not really into shooters.... I really only like JRPGs, action/adventure, and platformers.

If you like Metroid Prime then you might also like Bioshock. It's got that adventurey vibe going for it and isn't exactly a straight shooter.

Never played Metroid; probably never will. The only Nintendo games I really play are Zelda and the occasional Mario Kart. I used to play Mario, but I stopped after it went 3D. I like Nintendo as company more than for their gaming franchises.

I don`t even know what to say to that... Maybe I will just make funny text then.

Different stroke for different folks? I grew up with Nintendo so I really respect and like them, but that doesn't mean I have to be a fan of all of their franchises. I can respect them and even like them, but that doesn't mean I'll want to play them.
Speaking of Xbox 360, what are some good 360 only JRPGs? The only one I can think of is Lost Odyssey.

I suppose I can understand that, by taking common sense and turning it inside out.
JRPGs on 360:
Eternal Sonata (Second best) Star Ocean: The Last Hope (Best on this list, IMO) Cross Edge: Dash Record of Argest Wars Tales of Vesperia Cultcept Saga Final Fantasy XIII Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Edition
And then a lot of crap that should never have been localized. That's only what's available in the U.S., though (I just went through Gamestop's catalogue today...all 611 pages of it...), and chances are there are a lot more JRPGs in Japan, which are far better than anything released in Japan, because that's what always happens.
After considering something I think I might wait for a little longer and save up enough for the 250GB model considering that the investement is $300 as opposed to: $200 for 4GB $20 for Headset $130 for 250 GB $40 for a 16 GB to transfer data. Yeah that is another $90 extra, so I could get more games instead of paying for all that crap.

I'm surprised you even considered falling for Microsoft's Scam. Trust me, the 250 GB option is the best deal you'll get, whether you'll use all that stuff or not. Hell, I already feel scammed for not waiting a few more years to get an Xbox with built-in Wi-Fi for the same price that I bought to have it seperate.

Um, most of the games here are also available for the PS3... I'm looking for game available ONLY on the 360.

Then I don't know. I don't pay attention to games on the PS3 because I don't own one and therefore would be of no use to me. I think Blue Dragon, Spectral Souls 3, Operation of Darkness are the only other ones released outside of Japan, and those are 3 worst RPGs I've ever played. But rather than guess, I'll give you a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_games
Uh, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery, and The Last Remnant are a few I can think of.
Last Remnant isn't an exclusive, actually. There's a PC version, and it's actually better if your computer has the juice. The console version made terrible use of the engine and would slow down frequently, with lots of pop-in.

Well, in my opinion, Tales of Vesperia is the second best (with Eternal Sonata as best) and that is an exclusive.
