Some points to buy arcade stuff on maket? Extra Controller if you dont have one, Wireless headset is meant to be v. nice and much more comfortable than the wired one. More games :P

whens that steering wheel out ???

oh yes, and a usb keyboard if you type a lot.

lucky my 360 is sat ontop of the pc (its a borg cube, so it dont sit on its end ;)) so all i did the other night was swap it over to the 360s rear usb port   :D

Quick Charge (http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/productpage.asp?ProductCode=XT1017&title=xbox_360_quick_charge_cradle) > Play & Charge kit.

It comes with a battery and I have them on constant rotation.

Completely agree, i got a play and charge kit first with my 360 and wireless controller, got a quick charge kit a couple of days later, so much easier when dealing with batteries.

I am tempted by the steering wheel, when i eventually get round to buying pgr3, mostly as it features forcefeedback, which is a great system.

The webcam can also be used with a pc, which makes it a good purchase if you just need a webcam fullstop.

I didnt realise you could use any USB keyboard with the 360 ! I think I might be sourcing a cheapo keyboard right now :)

I personally dont see the point in the Play and Charge kit, Its very very rare that I run the battery down to the point of needing charging whilst playing. I seem to be ok sticking the  controller onto the charge lead when I switch the 360 off :)

Ã,£80 is a bit steep for my tastes.

I got the play and charge kit before they mentioned the quick charge kit,
although by the sounds of it ill need another power socket for the quick charge kit.

because ive just used up all 6 on my current power strip (2 crts, pc, wireless mouse charger, amp, xbox360)  :whoops:

I bought  a steeringwheel today. Ã,£90 in Game.
f**king Tripe. To much oversteer, not strong enough on the force feedback & the pedels slide all over the floor  :(
