Ok Ok. I am a Ninty and this is a very large piece of fan boyism!

But I just have to do this!

I am laughing so much at you becuase you have to pay every 12 months for your X-Box live subscription! :P

I will only have to pay my existing Broadband connection (well my parents) and I will get 600k Gamecube internet speed!

So HA!

*please do not be mad - you can try to prove me wrong if you want but due to my Nintyness I am always biased anyway :P*

I've seen it happen an awful lot of times. People just making horrible splurgy noises (like being sick) down the mic, and generally just being really stupid, and singing etc.

Luckily, you can mute specific players to shut them up.

See, i just haven't seen that happen at all.

As for people who'd rather have their mates round an dplay on their own. With most Xbox Live games you can play split screen multiplayer ONLINE.

Yes you and your mates can play splitscreen against other humans too.

Before you take digs at something, do your homework properly.

It must get annoying when idiots start making noises down the headset and stuff.

Minus the voice chat (oooo) what difference would online play have to playing a CPU? yes, the skill level, but that's about it. The whole fun of Multiplayer is that you can interfere with your mates plying and abuse them (yes, voice chat, but it shan't be as good).

I'll go online with my Gc, for Mario Kart, but that's it.

Not to Update2.01

The only difference between ADSL and DSL is on uses fibre optics (DSL) and one uses either copper cables or fibre optics (ADSL), and has nothing to do with whether its a phone line or comes from cable. The main reason America has DSL is most of the phone lines are newer than the UK's so are mainly fibre optic, were as the UK's are all old copper cables (thanks for that BT).

Online only games have monthly fees most of the time, as im sure you know. So I think the Xbox live thing is quite a good idea, as you don't have all those monthly fees building up.
