So it seems that I have about $585 to spend on the Xbox 360 that I have coveted for so long. The only two things I'm planning on purchasing at the moment are a premium 360 and Gears of War. Are there any accessories I should consider along with this purchase (i.e. the cooling station or wireless charger)? I also have a wireless interent connection but as of right now purchasing the wifi add on and paying for a live subscription is not in my budget so disregard any interweb connection peripherals. Thanks for any advice and Happy (belated) Holidays from yours truly.

Play n' Charge kit with an extra battery pack.

Don't waste your time with the Cooling Stations. They are pretty much total cons. My 360 has never over-heated through the last year i've had it, even with some big extended gameplay sessions.

Poliobear is right about the Play n' Charge Kit, you never know when you might run out of battery...and if you don't have any AA Batteries spare it's a lifeline.

I got the standalone controller battery charger for christmas unexpectedly and it's pretty nice. My 360 is in a position where using the play and charge kit would be really incovenient so this is the next best thing.

But if you've got loads of batteries then I think you've got all the peripherals you need.
