One of our community members loves playing Xbox so much, he sent me in a top TEN list of tips… instead of the normal top five. Sit back and watch as we check out these great tips for buying Xbox gifts for Geeks!

  • Xbox 360 Hd dvd player This one is listed last because its very expensive.
  • Xbox 360 Wireless adapter This is great if they don’t want to string an Ethernet cord across the room to their 360. Also, it pairs great with the next idea.
  • Xbox live starter pack This is great with the wireless adapter because it can get them started to half of the 360 experience. It also comes with a head set so they can talk on live.
  • Microsoft points These are great because you could buy classic arcade tittles like asteroids. You can also use them to buy downlodable content for great titles.
  • Wireless controllers These have always been great, but now they are even better. They come in Pink, Black, Blue, and the classic White. Plus, going wireless is good so they can sit on their couch instead of sitting 5 feet from the tv. You can also get them bundled with chargers.
  • Call of Duty 4 This is by far an amazing game. It has stunning visuals, great game play, and the live version is awesome.
  • Assassins Creed This is a great game. It’s a fun game, and a really cool story.
  • Bioshock People are saying this is the best shooter so far this year, and I have to agree. The reason it did not make a better score is that it has no multiplayer.
  • The Orange Box This is by far one of the best games ever. It comes bundled with my favorite shooter ever, Half Life 2.
  • Mass Effect This is a great role playing game that has great shooting elements. It may appear to be a shooter, but remember it is a role playing game. If someone dosent like role playing games don’t get them this. It has the greatest story ever, and the voice acting is amazing.
