Comcast cable dsl will be hooked up at my house Saturday. It will be the first time in a couple of years that Ive used anything other than my cell phone as an IP. Obviously I have been missing out on recent XBL services and features, and I have never had XBL. I will be signing up for XBL gold.

I do want to download a HD movie, just to check it out. What movie(s) do you recommend I try first? Best pq?

I have COD2, Splinter Cell DA, GOW, and RSV that I will want to try for the first time ever online. I know GOW has now taken over the top spot as the most played XBL title, but what would be a good starting point for such a rookie XBL guy like myself? Should I start with a Halo 2 fight first?

What other XBL content should this rookie check out first as a brand new XBL gold member? Any new game demos I should make sure and catch? Critical game patches for my titles? Additional maps?

Finially, is there a good how-to reference for XBL newbies, maybe something I can read online before saturday?

Thanks guys
