So I've got the xbox and the kinnect. Will I need any other cables, controllers etc? I want to be able to set it up Christmas morning and have it work without needed to run to Best Buy for additional parts.

If you want HD, you'll need an HDMI cable. Still shipping with just component cables.

If you have any games that don't use Kinect that you want to play multiplayer, you'll need another controller as the bundle only comes with one (wireless, thankfully).

That should be it, everything else you need is in the box.

Awesome - thank you. Nothing worse than opening it all up then figuring out you can't use it till the next day.

And, just in case it needs mentioning - don't pay retail for HDMI cables! Don't do it!

I can't thank GD enough for the Monoprice link, I've bought all kinds of tech stuff from them now, they're fabulous and inexpensive. They ship FAST, too.
