You can't even dump it into an external drive and put it on your computer? I don't think Microsoft is that silly.

So what other must-have games are on the 360? I have Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Halo 3.

We got an elite, but I don't think we needed one. We haven't used any of the hd space and dont need the HDMI cable. I forget what else it comes with

My understanding is that the ELITE has superior hardware and the RRoD is highly unlikely in them.

I do know that I couldn't download anything from my flash drive onto my 360, and if it is possible it was far too much work for me to try and figure out. I do use the HDMI cable and I guess the wireless controller is nice, but I think 20 gigs is probably fine for most people unless you do buy a lot of content.

If you don't have it for the PC, I'd recommend Oblivion.

Dead Rising is good. And you can't go wrong with Lego Star Wars. And Oblivion is an absolute must-have.

The hubby's started playing Devil May Cry 4 and I've actually gone and started playing Morrowind on the 360 (actually an Xbox game, but I didn't buy it until just recently).
If you're into these sorts of games, Viva Pinata: Party Animals has a sort of Mario Kart on speed/Mario Party feel to it. Probably not surprising since the original game (Viva Pinata) was developed by RARE.
I want to say that you should be able to store data onto your computer hard drive. It's probably a drawn-out process requiring a special hook up or something. Look on the 360 boards on Xbox's site and you'll probably find some technical help relating to it.
Oh, and for those interested, MS has opened game development for the 360. Good thing or not...we'll see. 
Microsoft opens game development
By AMANDA FEHD, Associated Press Writer
Wed Feb 20, 7:17 PM ET
SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday it will make Xbox 360 video games developed by players available for download through the console's online service.
ADVERTISEMENT
The new service will double the size of the Xbox 360 game library, to 1,000 games within a year of its launch, scheduled for this holiday season, the company said.
To distribute a game on the Xbox Live service, game creators must use Microsoft's XNA Game Studio software, which requires a $99 per-year subscription, or be an XNA Creators Club member. Each game will be vetted for quality and appropriateness by the online community itself.
Creators Club members will be able to test a beta version starting this spring.
In addition, Microsoft announced that game developers also will be able to build games for the software maker's Zune digital media players.
"The time has come for the games industry to open its doors to all game creators, enabling anyone to share their creations with the world," John Schappert, a vice president of gaming at Microsoft, told an audience of about 6,000 game developers at a San Francisco conference.
Microsoft also said this week it will give students free access to its XNA Game Studio 2.0, its video game development program.
The moves to encourage Xbox 360 game development come as the company faces fierce competition from Nintendo Co. and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation in the game console market. Nintendo last year unveiled its own game development tool, called WiiWare.
Colin Sebastian, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets, said he didn't expect the Xbox download service to appeal to mass-market consumers, but it could encourage independent developers to create Xbox 360 games.
"This would appeal to the more independent developers, people who want to break into the market, and get them started on the Xbox," Sebastian said. "It makes the development and distribution of video games more accessible."
But Microsoft would not say Wednesday whether the downloads would be free, or if the service would generate revenue for game developers.
That's a key detail independent game creator Phil Fish says he wants to know. Fish, who with two others just launched Montreal-based Polytron Corp., has developed a game called "Fez" using XNA software.
He said even with Microsoft's tools, gaming development will never be easy. He hopes to reap $10 per download on his game, using his own Web site.
"I wouldn't like to give a year of work away just because Microsoft allows us to do it," Fish said.
Like musicians who struggle to get discovered by big recording studios, independent game developers traditionally have struggled to prove themselves to a publishing company to get a distribution contract.
The new Xbox download service could create a centralized platform for developers to show off their wares without the contract worries, said Jason DeGroot, also with Polytron. Under Microsoft's plan, developers would still own the rights to the games they post.
"It's about giving independent developers a mass, wide-appeal audience," DeGroot said.
Xbox Live has 10 million subscribers who could potentially play and rate the games.
But DeGroot fears the service could get bombarded with lower-quality games.
"It's not easy to make games. They might be shooting themselves in the foot," DeGroot said.

Saints Row. It's still my favorite 360 game to this day.

It's pretty good. I've never played any of the other games in the series before so I got to go into with fresh newbie eyes, and the video cut scenes are breathtaking, and the gameplay is almost as sharp visually. I played on human mode, training (combos automatically set up themselves) and I'm about halfway thru, taking my time as I dont get home until 1am and need to sleep so I can stay awake at work and post here.
Just watch yourself on like the 3rd (I think?) boss. He just came out of nowhere after I was enthralled by the naked lesbian sprites that were making out with each other.

Yeah...I noticed they put in a bit of "fan service" (to use the anime term for it) in the game.
