Expect an announcement at E3. Looks like EA and Microsoft have sorted out their differences which can only be a good thing for Xbox Live.
Oh and there's a large possibility of getting Timesplitters 3 on Xbox Live for 2005.
Woohoo!

Yup the concept sounds great, let's hope they pull it off!
Originally, BF1942 was supposed to come out on the Xbox, but about this time last year, EA told GameSpot that it was canceling the title. However, given the subsequent success of both Microsoft's Xbox Live (750,000 subscribers at last count) and the enduring popularity of EA's online shooter, it looks like the two companies are considering rekindling their online romance. Given their flirtatious compliments to one another, you'd think they were already having hot make-up sex. "Microsoft is a great partner, and we've got roughly 20 titles in development for the Xbox," EA corporate communication veep Jeff Brown cooed to GameSpot. "EA is a great publishing partner," gushed Molly O'Donnell, senior manager of Xbox PR.

Well you heard it here first, folks. Straight from Kernal's ever reliable official Xbox grapevine.
What the hell are you talking about? Seriously. How the hell would you know if there's a 90% chance of a game being released? Like you say, ypu're not a psychic (THAT'S how you spell it).

I know for 99% sure that their going to bring Battle Field 1942 (possibly with Road To Rome) to xbox and xbox live.
About burnout 3, well It would be REALLY a great game if its better than Burnout 2. But I havent got any news on that, and the possibility of that being released is below 90% on xbox live. I might be wrong, as I am not psycick (thats how u spell it i think).
But does any one know anything about these two games? even thou if burnout 3 comes out, It'l be sometime 2006 as they might have JUST started making it. do you know what 2006 means? Just for intime for XBOX 2
(get rid of the space)
yeah it was cancelled way back in jan 03
Seriously though, I really don't have problems with Live. I do find it better than PC gaming.
Foul mouthed cretins? Mute them.
As for being kicked off a server, its only happened to me 3 or 4 times. The only problems that I have are being totally outclassed. Which is you know obviously hypothetical.
