"PS2 - LONGEST THREAD."

Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.


Why am I trying it out anyway?

The PS2 forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.

Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest PS2 game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.

As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)

Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

Jive, with PGR2 you should have got a free 2 month Live Trial code ? if so just enter that and use that for 2 months before coughing up the £40, I have a spare code if you need it, drop me an email if you have an you set-up problems, after getting around NTL's "To use a PC & Xbox online you need 2 IP's addresses for which we charge you £30 then £5 a month bo**ocks" I'm becoming an expert :)

Also I think www.xbox.com/connect gives you all the info you need.

Cheers Sleepy

Looks like I better go and get a Live Starter Kit then :|

Along with possibly buying a new exhaust for my car, and trying to sell my wheels ..... oh dear the other half aint gonna be happy with me :(

I recently had to ask that question for a friend and this is the reply I got from Notorious Biggles.

Right well if he has a router then everything should be easy. He will need a normal network cable to plug into the Xbox and router. That he should manage. It connects just like the PC would.

After that, he is going to need an Xbox Live starter kit. £40 for a year's subscription and a headset. Some games have come with free trials lately with the option to pay £5 a month to extend the subscription. But that works out at £60 a year without a headset, so the Starter Kit is the way to go.

After he has bought that, he sticks the disc in the Xbox and starts to set up the account. Depending on when his Xbox was manufactured, it might have a Live menu on the dashboard when he turns the Xbox on already. If it is an older Xbox it won't and will install that option from the disc. Pretty easy really. You enter a screen name and some other information. The Xbox detects the broadband connection and then starts automatically. It'll download a few updates when it first connects. These are driver updates.

After registration is finished, (you enter a code you get in the starter kit to get the years subscription) you just stick the games in and select the Xbox Live menu in the game.

No, sorry I wasn't ignoring you.

I'll have a look at the dashboard tonight then, ta :)

So what the hell do I need to get onto Live?

*really shouldn't be asking this in the PS2 forum but hey who cares*

I've never dealt with an Xbox Mem card, but I'd imagine you'd do it from the Xbox dashboard. There must be a 'copy' feature there.

Bullett, quick question, how do you get your saved games info on your xbox to your memory card? There's nowhere in PGR2 that I can see to transfer it, does it just get copied there automatically or do you have to do the transfer from the boot up GUI?

Reading Edge magazine, tut tut what a slacker :P

Picked up trophies, look really good and have been engraved really nicely, shame it's for a memorial to my mate :(

Lucky You, I have two big jobs to finish and a meeting to attend before 4.30 :(

Quiet as usual, Thursday is meant to be one of my busiest days but I've completed a majority of my work already.

Sat reading Edge magazine right now!
