Hi all...I have 2 requests...First, I am looking for XBox for my 7 year old son, and have NO idea what to look for as far as games or accessories or even what price range I'm looking for...Since, y'all seem to know so much about games, thought I'd ask you first...Secondly, I am looking for games to play, for myself, on my PC...I'm using JAWS and W7...Is there anything I can play which doesn't require a lot of downloading of extras?...As some of you know, I am one of the profoundly technologically challenged, so it would be great to find games which are more easily installed and such...Thanks, and feel free to email me privately if it's easier...Happy Thanks Giving, and remember to eat way too much...(smile)
