You've just bought your first (or second, for that matter) Xbox and, after unpacking it, you feel like there is something missing and you cannot quite figure it out. Maybe it's just a cable or maybe is the second controller. On the other hand, it might not go with your girlfriend's last dress and you could use a custom plate to appease her mind whenever you tend more to the needs of Marcus Fenix than to hers. I've put together a list of almost every accessory i could think of.
Hard Drive (20 GB)
Save your games, Xbox LIVE gamer profile, game demos, and custom soundtracks from your own music collection. The Xbox 360 Hard Drive also lets you play an array of original Xbox games and even comes preloaded with an Xbox LIVE Arcade game, music, and videos.
Hard Drive (120 GB)
The Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive is the best option for media enthusiasts who game on Xbox 360. It is the largest storage option for available. The Hard Drive includes a data transfer kit to easily migrate all of your saved data from your 20GB HDD to your 120GB HDD. It comes preloaded with great HD game demos, videos, and an assortment of Xbox LIVE Arcade game trials.

HD DVD Player is the most affordable way to jump into the next generation of DVD technology, along with the flexibility to enter when you are ready. Just plug Xbox 360 HD DVD Player into Xbox 360 and enjoy the ultimate home theater experience, with more clarity and detail than broadcast, cable or satellite HD.
HDMI Cable
Experience digital high definition of your video and audio all in one cable and enjoy movies and games at up to 1080p resolution with superior audio via the Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound output. Utilize the Optical/RCA Audio adapter for enhanced sound in non-HDMI supported stereo systems.

Showcase stunning Xbox 360 high-definition graphics with the component connection on your HDTV. Play high-quality audio with the included stereo connection, or use the optical audio port for digital sound.

Wireless Controller (various colors)
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller lets you enjoy a 30-foot range and up to 40 hours of life on the two included AA batteries-and when they run low, you're given ample warning so you can connect a Play & Charge Kit for uninterrupted play. Plug the Xbox 360 Headset into the controller for full two-way voice communication: a wireless first. The device comes in the following colors: black, blue and pink.
Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Controller Brute

Quick Charge Kit
Quickly recharge up to two battery packs at the same time. Your Xbox 360 Wireless Controller needs a new battery? Swap in a fresh pack from the Quick Charge Kit. Multiple wireless controllers? Pick up a couple of extras, so you'll always be ready with a fully charged battery that's ready to go.
Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Enter a new world of digital entertainment with the touch of a single button. Play DVD movies and music, plus control your TV and your Media Center PC with one controller. The centralized, glowing Xbox Guide Button gives you quick access to your digital movies, music, and games library, and backlit buttons make the keypad easy to see in a darkened home theater.
Faceplates
Unlike any console before, Xbox 360 puts gamers at the center and gives them the freedom to personalize their gaming experience, however they see fit. Xbox 360 Faces make it easy and fun to change the face of the Xbox 360 console. Change your Faces whenever you like to match your personality, your mood, or your wild side. So flip it, switch it, or leave it be, and express your unique sense of style.
You have to keep in mind that there are tons of other accessories on the market produced by third party companies. Not all of them are interesting, but we've gathered a few of the most prominent ones:
Harmony Advanced Universal Remote from Logitech
Touch just one button to power on everything you need to play a game. Navigate Xbox menus with X, Y, A and B buttons. And of course, for the rest of the family, you can add up to 11 other components.
Controller Cradles from Intec
New 360 Controller Cradles secure your controller in a vertical position, while displaying it and keeping it safe from bumps and scratches.
Vantage USB Microphone from Logitech
The Logitech Vantage USB Microphone enhances your favorite Xbox 360 singing games with high-quality audio input.
The latest console from Microsoft has a long life ahead of it, and I'm sure we're going to do another piece in a couple of years with crazier and more interesting accessories.

Hi there,
I'm just in the process of trying to figure out what to buy my husband for Christmas and i'm surfing the net looking for ideas and inspiration.
He already has an xbox 360 so i'm thinking on buying him a game and possibly a gaming chair that I have found over at Boys Stuff.
The reason being for this, is that about 2 months ago he decided (with my permission) to use the spare room we have in our house and turn it into a "games room", so I reckon these gift ideas should go down well, maybe a little too well to the extent he may never come out of that room!
