what to do when you're selling your xbox 360

I'm thinking of selling my 360. I don't want the person who buys it to have access to any of my accounts etc. So do I just delete the accounts, and go into each individual game and delete any saved gameplay?
Thanks lads

Thanks, but I have some games on the hard drive which I don't want to lose. Everything else can go, except these games. Any ideas?

Digital games are worthless in terms of resale value. The buyer will most likely want to use their own profile. They are tied to your account so you can redownload them in the future if needed.

So do you suggest resetting the whole thing and then sell the xbox with the games on the discs?
