I just picked up an x box 360 from a friend. First, is he's an ex smoker and the smell has permeated everything. Any ways to deal with that?

Second, it came with CoD-MW2/3. My game wish list is short, must haves are skyrim(w/dlc) and forza horizon. GTA is on my radar. Any recommendations for games?

Aside from a wheel, should I consider any peripherals? Extra cooling?

If it's the white one, I'd look into cooling options. The newer black ones should be good to go. Forza 4 seems to be a better sim than horizon.

I hated playing Horizon. I was happy with Forza 3 then I got 4 and was more happier. I haven't played moder warfare 2 in quite a while, fun and entertaining offline play. Not sure how the multiplayer is faring with newer versions out.

If you get it online then the YouTube, Netflix and hbo go are great.

Woa, I thought you were talking about an F360. The comment about smoke permeating everything made sense too!

If Subaru 360, the answers are to gut the interior to get rid of smoke smell then add more Hyabusa!

I thought Ferrari, then no he probably means xbox, then I saw the smoke comment and got my hopes up again. Emotional roller coaster.

To combine everything, can we make that in forza? We can even do an engine swap with a mopar 360

I've thought about adding those graphics to my Accent, since I already have the rally-look going on, and swapping out the grill badge for a Subaru one. Then I could tell everyone it's a rare KDM Impreza coupe.

Forza 4, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition, Skyrim Ultimate Edition, Assassins Creed 4......those 4 should consume close to a complete year of your life.

Id also add fallout 3 and all three mass effect games to the gotta play list.

That should keep you busy for the next 3 years.

Smell: put it in your car in the middle of summer with the windows barely cracked for about a week. Bakes the smell out with effectively a convection oven.

Interesting. That would explain how my first neon didn't reek of cigars from my father after it sat for a year.

Don't put it in your car! You will desoder the motherboard. Bad solution.
