Right, I should be getting an XBox soon enough and I was wanting to know a little bit about LIVE. I know BB is needed, but I have really, really crappy BroadBand and don't know whether LIVE will support it; what kind can be used/works best?

Also, any good games I should get? I should be getting Halo, MM3, TS2 and Rally Fusion (no prizes for guessing where I'll get that from) and perhaps some others at XMas, but I'm still undecided about them.

Anyway, cheers in advance.

They start charging £5 a month after those 2 months free. But you can cancel it.

Just the £40 or so subcription, or 2 months free (in new live enabled games).

Thats it.

I also have the NTL 128kb service (it gives 31kb a second on average which equals 256k really, the 128k is a guaranteed MINIMUM transfer rate) so don't know if it would work or not.

I have 600k broadband, which is enough. I havent experienced problems.

I think you need to have an upload speed of 128k i think. Not sure though.
