Just got a 360 last week and played Gears of War and Dead Rising over the weekend and I am hooked on this console. After being totally underwhelmed by Halo back in the day I thought there was probably too much hype to GoW but man it is one fun game to play.

So I was wanting to get a good 360 magazine but the ones I see in the stores are like 10 freaking dollars. I'd like to get a demos disk but it's not a must. I'd like a 3rd party magazine so at least there is some assemblance of objectiveness.

I'd suggest EGM for all your gaming goodness reading. And instead of paying newstand price, buy a cheaper subscription! Or better yet, scour hot deals sites, as free yearly subscriptions are offered all too often. I haven't paid for my EGM sub for the past 3 years :).

As for demos, that's the beauty of the Xbox Live Marketplace right there on your very own console. Hook it up to a broadband internet connection, and download more demos and content you'd ever find on dvds in the magazines. You don't have to pay the $50/year fee to download demos, you just might get them a week later after the paying customers.

Skip the magazines and just visit gaming websites.

You don't need demo disks because you can download demos via Xbox Live.

As for EGM, I don't wanna read about awesome games on other systems I am missing out on :) and gaming websites are great but not really practical for the crapper!

Then find a free subscription to OXM. You can find free subs at the various deal sites around.
