As xbox has been out for a while the price of the core unit is coming down. In Canada there are many offers available such as the core unit with harddrive and one controller bundled with two games for $399. The two games which come with the bundle are Forza Racing and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

If you're in the market to just buy games then you may wish to consider buying used games at local retailers such as Electronic Boutique, Rogers Video, Blockbuster or other vendors of used games. Another possibility is searching for used games on sites such as Ebay or Craigslist.

If you're uncertain which popular titles to buy then consider these top selling games - Halo 3, Assassin's Creed or Mass Effect.
