Buying an Elite soon, help out a n00b?

Although I am a casual gamer, I do own a 60GB PS3, Wii, PSP, and DS and a nice HD set-up.  I've been looking at getting an Elite for quite some time now (because, well, I am a bit disappointed with the PS3 at the moment), but the XBOX concept is pretty much new to me.  I lived on the Playstation and Nintendo brand for so long, I thought it might be time to try something new too.  I'm not an FPS guy, I play them, but I suck harder than Ben Affleck trying to be a standup comedian, so what games should I take a look at?  I have Gears of War (it's third person, I can handle that) on my list already, but beyond that, I don't really know where else to look.Buying an Elite soon, help out a n00b?

There are so many games out, it all depends on what you like.Racing: Forza 2, PGR3Table Tennis is cheap and funOblivion (unless you have that for PS3 already)LoTR: BFME2 %26 C%26C3 - both great RTS gamesOnce you get the system and hook it up to XBL you can download game demos to see what else you like. 
halo 3 partialy 3rd person.:D
I just got an Elite myself, also not being familiar with the 360 at the time. Honestly I would say you just get Gears of War for now (I just did and it is ALOT of fun) and spend some time with the Demos and Xbox Live Arcade games. There's like over 100 demos available, and considering all the games cost $60+, I think its wiser to try out some demo stuff before dropping anymore money on this thing. Don't forget, you're already going to have to buy a 2nd controller ($50 if you want wireless) and the wireless adapter ($100, unless you plan on going wired) so you may want to cut down on the bleeding for a bit. I know I did.
Guitar Hero II, Forza 2, Crackdown, GRAW 2, MLB 2k7, Madden 07, Burnout: Revenge, C%26C 3, Battle for Middle Earth II, and don't forget about many great Xbox Live Arcade titles available. Get Aegis Wing, its free and its a lot of fun.

Well if you don't like FPS's maybe try Tomb Raider: Legend, or Kameo: Elements of Power.  Both have their share of action, but are slightly geared more toward a puzzle/platforming aspect. 
This is a tiny bit off base but I don't know as of yet how the Elites hold up, some of us had alot of hardware problems with our Xbox 360's so I'd say just in case you may want a warranty. I always get them for new systems. If you do try to get it from a place that has a straight across trade in warranty system and not the ''here is a box ship it away and wait months'' warranty. So far spending 80 bucks extra on my warranty saved me tons when I was super unlucky with 3!!!! dead Xbox's!  And I baby my gear. Was just horrible luck. And I agree about the Ps3 atm, I can't wait for it to pick up though, gonna be glad I bought mine later, right now, it's in a box waiting for Lair :P

The single player portion of Saints Row is good, but the online is kind of weird at first. Once you get the hang of it, you should like it. That's what happened to me.
