i have just ordered a xbox360 with ready to go live connection, also bought a 12 month subscription card,
my question is, i already have a 2mb connection with NTL, i connect my modem to my PC through a usb, there is a ethernet slot on my modem left open, i wonder if i connect my xbox360 to my modem using my ethernet slot, will both my xbox360 and pc remain online?
thanks for any advice
:)
yes thats how i used to run mine, same provider and everything! however your internet will be slow when using live. now i have a network card on my pc so both my live and pc share the connection.

also the games i am getting are,
oblivion
ghost recon 3
call of duty 2
gun
king kong
condemned
perfect dark zero
are these games good? also do you have experience playing any online thanks i am a total newb to the xbox world :)
Well, I've played most of the games you just talked about sigle player and on live too well, if you enjoy realisticness, GRAW(Ghost Recon) is really good, its challenging and fun as well. Call of Duty 2 is good both offline and online, but I recomend you play it on live more than single player. Oblivion is really good, but loads slow on a system without the Hard Drive (Core system w/o buying a HDD) so if you;'re getting a premium, i highly recomend getting Oblivion too, the AI is realistic and there are lots of dungeons you can explore so that after you finish the questline, theres still some playing value in the game. Perfect Dark Zero is also a pretty good FPS, nothing much I can say more about it. Condemmed is scarry so if you enjoy Resident Evil, etc, its a must have. I haven't tried Gun and King Kong, but I heard they are pretty good, so I hope you find this useful :D
thanks for your reply, i am glad i chose those games, i was also thinking about getting project gothem racing 3, may get that at a later date, yes the xbox 360 i am getting has the 20 gig hd with it, so oblivion should be ok :) i bought it for my PC however it does not work:( i was gutted having waited for it for a long time! so i hope everything works out ok on the xbox,Quote:

The controllers are perfect for FPS', they're wireless (which is a great feature), and they're comfortable etc. I agree with khoanguyen12 Oblivion, COD2 and PDZ (i've got them all) are fantastic, and the graphics on Oblivion are great.
I hope everything is as good as you think it will be.

PGR3 is the dogs bollocks first game i brought and its still the one i play the most. then NFS:MW is excellent online. i enjoy racing my modded cars sooo good. against over people
hey guys my xbox 360 should be here any time now, i have a question about the controller, how long will the batteries last in your experience? and is it worth investing in a battery rechargable pack? i am a pretty heavy gamer so bear that in mind ^^
i am also selling my oblivion for pc, and some my old ps2 games to a gaming shop, should be able to buy 2 or 3 more games, which do you think i should buy?, or should i wait for any nearing new releases?i like all sorts of games fps rpg and rts are my favourite though :), i see halo 3 is coming out but not untill 2007 =/
Thanks again :)
not sure on the lengh ive had my 360 a week but all i did was use the network cable which came with the 360 and plugged it into my router, it does it automatically.
Fav game ive played online atm is Ghost recon advanced warfare.
SO many games youve played, wtf lol...

hello all,
i have my xbox 360 now, i am trying to go onto xbox live, but when it does the test my ip adress failed, my ethernet conection is conect to my modem which is connected to my pc through a USB cable, anyone know a solution to my problem, thanks :)
Halo 2 + xbox 360 + xbconnect/live = win ;)
well are you using a router? can you explain alittle more clearly?
i plug the ether net directly into my modem, my modem is connected to my pc at the same time through usb i do not have a router
Lol its a Shame!
oh i have sorted it now, was a simple mistake i made, i am planning on getting a router though :)
