Default X Box Live

OK ..... We now have Broadband here out in the scrub

The youngest is itching to get onto X Box Live & I have read the instructions & am still a bit confused ....... :

Can anyone give me some Lisa proof directions on how to get this thing hooked up & then get the boy online to play the games

Cheers

Also ........ We have to use the USB cord for the modem as there is no ethernet on this computer..... The youngest thinks he can plug the ethernet cord into the modem at the same time as we have the usb cord in ......... I dont think that will work .... Will it ?????????

in the menu go to xbox live, and from memory it asks you for the number on the card you get in the starter kit, you have to put in your credit card details and then choose a gamertag and thats it. could be a lot more to it, its been a year since i set it up

hey ИИИ ill play with him

i play halo a bit...have heaps of others but dont bother...halo is the best by far.

What he needs to do is send freind invites to people an then he can see who,what were and when they are playing.Do it in the halo menu,its the easyiest to use.
Ill send him a freind request :

Halo2 has atleast 5000 people on at one time, he mustnt be getting into matchmaking properly.

Micksta - yeah mate you will play Halo2 like normal, the 360 just runs an emulator pretty much, my brother has 360 and play against him all the time on my old xbox on live. Halo2 looks like a different game on 360, so clear !!! But unfortunatly no patch made for V8 Supercars 3 yet :(

If anyone with Live wants to add me, my gamertag is Lukeyson

Will get the youngest to add you XR8fella ... that is if you dont mind playing an 11yr old

He is a respectful 11yr old though as he knows his bum will be kicked if not ...... one of the other fellas has been playing with him on halo in the past few days & I really appreciate it .... hes teaching heaps about something I have NFI about ;)

Hey, I'm always up for a good game too.

Add me to his friends list and between my 9 year old son and I, I'm sure we'll see him online.

My gamertags are:

a giant grogan and mike4x4


Cheers,
