"So, XBox Live..."

Just read IGN's review of Battlefront, and now I really want this. So seeing as I have a fair bit of cash in the piggy bank, what the hell, I may as well give ti a shot.

I just have a few questions;

Firstly, I've heard a certain, popular games store do a 10-day offer, in which you can return purchases if you're not happy with them. Seeing as my ISP 'isn't sure' whether XBox Live will work or not, I don't really want to waste £40 on it. Will they do this with Live or is it not possible?

Secondly, what wires and sheet will I need to connect my XBox up with my PC? Don't try asking me what connection I have and that crap... all I know is I have BroadBand, and a screen and stuff. Yeah.

Finally, can you recommend some games? Not loads, just a couple of must-haves for Live.

Cheers.

Theres only content DL apparently. My Live comes tommorrow and I only have PGR2 to play with it so far. I should be purchasing BA on wedensday and maybe Counter Strike on friday. I can hardly wait.

Yeah, already got myself Pandora Tomorrow and PGR2. Bought RS3 for the one-player, but sold it soon after. I'll pick up Black Arrow seeing as it's only £20.

What are the Ninja Gaiden online modes like? Really enjoyed playing that, would be interesting to see what it would be like online.

yay! Cool.

BA is good, but only if you don't have ANY experiance of RS3. I'm sick of it now.

SC: PT online is perhaps the greatest online game I've ever played. So much depth etc.

I'd say;

Battlefront
SC: PT
PGR 2

and anything else you'd really like

Game don't normally accept 10 day returns on accessories (only return if faulty) - and because you have to scratch off a panel to get your code, the shops aren't allowed to take them back anyway.

They're not even supposed to 10-Day Live enabled games if the panel has been scratched off the Live trials...as that free Live trial is a part of the product (unless out of date) - but they normally do take them back anyway.

I was gonna say, use the Trial card in the Burnout 3 box to see if it works, saves you £40.

If you dont ahve an Ethernet Port then you need an Ethernet card and a Cat5 cable. (Thank you Icarus) which would total to about £18 online.

Has your Modem got an Ethernet Port?

Shouldn't think you'd have any problems getting on Live. Don't ask me about all the stuff you'd need though, haven't got a clue.

If you've got an ethernet port in the back of your modem all you need is one wire to connect, that's what I do anyway and it's damn simple. Havne't got a clue about all that router nonsense though, I'm sure Biggles or Alastair or someone who knows what they're talking about'll be able to help you.

Yeah, already got myself Burnout. Completely forgot about TS3 and Worms, they would really rock online.
