You will love Kinect, its an amazing peice of tech!

I can suggest Forza 3 if you love racing games.

Re: XBox Controllers
 

Cheap games that have been out for ages but non the less epic and worth a look

1. Cod 4 online multiplayer (I played for 2 years strait)
2. Grid, a lot more Arcadey than FORZA 3 but a hoot on line.
3. Modern Warfare 2, a bit hacked now and ruined by too many kids at times but good fun
4. Peggle (for the Mrs)

Don't buy after market controller's they are crap full stop.

The Official MS ones using the Play & Charge kit will charge from any USB port...I have mine plugged into the back of our STB as it provides power all the time :)

I have this recharging kit:

Its handy because it only requires one USB port to charge both packs, and the one you don't have on the back of the controller can be recharged by itself, without the console being switched on (has to be on at mains though).
And I actually paid £7 for the pack at my local ASDA.
Hope this helps and enjoy your gaming :)
