Can someone tell me the best games for the system, aswell as which ones allow you to play your own music.
At the moment my top ones are Jet Set,Amped 2,and PGR2.
I only know of being able to play your own music in Amped, what are the rest?

Top five exclusives:

1. Project Gotham Racing 2
2. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
3. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition
4. Deus Ex 2: Invisible War
5. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Plus, if you can get it, Xbox Live is good fun.

On the non-exclusive side, the GTA Double Pack is worth serious consideration - two great games for the price of one - and Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tomorrow is excellent.

No you dont need a router, a router just allows you to go on the internet (on your PC) and go on Xbox Live both at the same time. How much are you planning on spending, TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else noticed that, if you convince one of your friends to join Xbox Live before 31st March you get a free game.

Wow... cool it there Cwazy!

Let him buy some games first, so that he can play them. No point in spending loads on Live, possibly a network card or router or whatever and then not having the games!

If you ever do need any information on setting up Live Syphonical, either post here, or have a look for some old topics. I've written about it on more than one occasion, and in considerable depth as well.

Unfortunately i haven't got a router but it dont really bother me.
When buying a Xbox you should buy Xbox Live before buying any games, how much have you got to spend?

It would be a box that has a cable from it to the PC and one into the back of it from the phone line.

It would also have more ports to allow you to connect up more computers.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
