Hey folks,

i have an Xbox 360 and i havent been online yet,

i am totally novice at this, so is it worth doing or not ???

advice needed etc

[Cocker]

Yes you should get it.

1. Your games will last longer (you will find that you will spend more time online than you do playing the single player)

2. You can download games/demos etc

3. You make new friends to play against (boo hoo I have no real friends)

You will love it I promise

We have just been discussing this in the console wars thread! If you can afford it, get it - it brings a whole new dimension to your gaming. Shame you have to pay, though... Try Hot UK Deals as they often get good deals on Live subscriptions http://www.hotukdeals.com

Yeah, certainly. I put off getting it for a while because I thought with that paying for the wireless reciever thing and a year of live was the same price at two games, which I thought was a waste. After a while I gave in and bought it and I've enjoyed my 360 more ever since. I'd get a few games that can go on live first, but I'd say it is an absolute must.

[Rovermatt]

Do you need a wireless receiver? Can you not just plug in?

[Eddie]

You can do, obviously depends on the set-up you have. I needed to have one as my router is in another room.

[DudeAbides]

Cheers lads, im gonna do it...

Once im sorted ill be back here with my tag maybe we can have a blast on COD4 or something ?

Cheers

I set up my Xbox Live last night. I played Halo 3 and Gears of War for a while. Are there only ever four people in a Halo match-up and is the Gears online play usually so brief? No sooner have you started playing than you're killed and have to wait another minute or so before the next round starts.

[DudeAbides]

Yea it does that on COD4 also although a little less than a minute i think...

[M-K]

Halo is 16 players in Big Team Battle (in the Social playlist) or 6 in Lone Wolves. Ranked team games are 4v4 or 2v2, so I don't know how you got stuck with just four players.

Gears was always a nightmare online, I haven't touched it in a year.

I love team slayer. I am not a fan of shotty snipers though. Always get stuck with the same few maps too.

Sorry for the confusion. God forbid I was one of those five year olds.

I've been doing a lot of lone wolves, so I got a fairly good ranking in that but I'm still not doing well at team slayer. Lost to a bunch of twos and threes last night, even though I managed to get over 25 kills.
