2) When I do get a better subscription for XBL, how much will it cost?
3) Where can I get more controllers cheap?
4) A refurbished from gamestop will be fine, right?
5) Game recommendations for later?
2)- $59.99 for 12 months, $24.99 for 3-Months, and $9.99 for 1-Month. (all cheaper on Amazon)
3)- check Amazon often, they usually have deals every now and then. NewEgg as well. Gamestop for Gamestop brand controllers.
4)- I'd avoid the old model 360. If you can get a refurbished slim, that's the way to go.
5)- 360's main exclusives Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, then all the AAA multiplatform games like Assassins Creed series, GTAIV, Red Dead Redemption, BioShock series, Batman Arkham series, Dead Space series, Oblivion & Skyrim, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, Mass Effect series, Dragon Age: Origins (not Dragon Age 2). Also arcade games like Limbo, Torchlight, Braid, Guardian of Light. Those are cheap.
