Have had a 360 for over a year now. Am a very occassional gamer and as such never connected to live before, let alone even the internet with it. I am about to get the 360 online for the first time in the next week or so.

So, I know you can download demos etc, and there are many mini games etc. But, what have I missed? What little games, downloads etc are really cool and would be a must have download or worth a look. I heard there are several small type game downloads that work with the Scene-It big buzzer controllers which I own. Do you just search through an online database of stuff? Is it a case of you can download stuff based on what may be available? What if you miss something and would like it at a later stage?

Am totally new to this, so would very much appreciate an idea of what its all about. Are there film trailers, movies or anything to download? I have seen the PS3 online downloadable stuff, it looks relatively intuitive; although you download whats available in a given time period which just gets updated. There are film trailers etc.

Thanks

Also,

I really like the look of the interface on the PS3. I am aware you can change the 360 dashboard; are there any really great looking skins that can be applied. I ideally want simplistic and slick looking.

Also, any other hacks/tweaks mods worth doing or looking at?  I dont mean mod-chipping it as I dont mind paying for a game as it means I actually get round to completing it.

Suggestions welcomed.

I was addicted to the arcade game Cloning Clyde for ages, great game

So ... after ordering a network switch and some cat 5 cables so I can get the 360 online ....... I realise I have run out of plug sockets ...... noooooooooooooo!!!

Back to the shops for me ....
