Very little is known about the arrival of X-Box live in England. But I was just wondering if anyone knew when it is to be released In England. Does anyone know any good Halo 2 screenshot websites?

Yeah I've had that. Some one was on the phone talking to someone, he knew he wasnt muted as he started talking to us straight after, about the phone call. Some people also have guests around and they start talking as if so one just asked a question. Also some people have their TV too loud. I could he the echos of UC, I kept doing the taunt and could hear it half a second later coming back through my head set :).

I normally have my Mic muted, if its a talking game then I unmute myself or if people ask questions e.t.c.

Voice masks are ok, as in one game someone had the Robot voice and it was actually easy to to understand. I normally have no voice mask as its just easier to talk and hear.

From what I've found of my whole two days on Xbox Live (about 10 hours total) not many people use the vocie masks, and in particular some are really unpopular and sound plain stupid. I tlak a bit, not loads, and whilst there's the odd few "he's a brit" e.t.c comments, most people are more interested in playing the games and stuff.

Some people don't seem to know about the mute button though, last night I was playing Mech Assault and one guy was obviously talking to someone on the phone at the same time and everyone could hear what she was saying to him, and everyone kept quiet until he'd finished.... hilarious, kinda :)

Mech Assault any good?

You played it online yet??
I got splinter cell last week - Absolutely amazing game. just started the chinese mission today.

I got Unreal Championship yesterday aswell. That is amazing to. the graphics are sublime and i cant wait for xbox live. One quarrel with UC is the annoying tendicy of my teams mates who seem to always lose their 'spot' to the other team in domination 2.0

Other than that, 2 amazing games

March 14th, go to www.xbox.com/uk/live/now to buy the Testdrive kit - it rocks, and you can shout insults at people from all over the place...:)

You could have already bought it if you were actually aware that they have sold it to about 4000 people already!

Something of March 2003 is when it comes out...
