Description: What do I do with it?

I just got given an xbox, apparently I'm a party legend or something. However according to my brother I don't even like playing games. Any suggestions for xbox games for a non gamer?

There's a really good one called "pay your friend to steal it and use the insurance money to buy a ps2". Always a winner.
Forza motorsport is good. But I'm biased.

yeah but my brothers already have a ps2.. so the insurance company would wonder why someone would steal an xbox and leave the ps2.
I'm not much of a motorsport fan.. I spend almost 2 hours a day driving my car I don't really need to simulate driving.
I've reserved Sims 2 for xbox with my DVD unlimited membership, I wanted to get that for my computer but apparently I don't have enough Mhz or something.

You can get it modded and use it as a media center. *calling Mr T*

Exactly. Get it modded, put in a 250GB HDD, and watch movies off of it onto your TV. Mod chip + install will probably be around $100-150, HDD will be about $150-200 depending on what size you want. Outcome = priceless.
All the movies you have on your computers, you can watch on your TV using your xbox = no more having to run a cable from your PC to your TV, no more having to change your video card settings/resolution all the time/and actually having a nice GUI to control everything with.
Plus, if you are a gamer, you can copy your games onto the xbox and run them from the hard drive, meaning you never have to fumble for your game discs again.

xbox > gaystation2
To get a feel for what kind of games you may like without going to the expense of outright buying them and finding they are crap, head down to your local video store and rent some :)
