A Xbox could be plugged into a TV near me soon aroudn Christmas time but I just need to ask a little question.
The main reason I might be getting a Xbox is for Xbox Live. I like how I could be sitting in my front room playing on a games console online with broadband.
But, I was just wondering, will Xbox Live have rankings etc. You know, like a Top 500 Unreal Championship players list or specific events made for online gaming?
Or is it just go on, kill and then turn off with none of the extra added classyness?

The cabels are not dear, I got a 5m cabel for around £5
How about if my XBOX needs to be played in a room about 5 meters away from my modem?
Will I need an extension lead?
How much do they cost?
I've got an NTL modem and an ethernet cable sitting here!
It's only a small cable but NTL left it here...
P.S. 128k is fine if you don't wanna use the headset!
Pings of 18 on my line are better than a lot of 600k lines!

Everyone has a ranking so even if you 20,000 you will know about it. But rankings really dont mean anything, it doesnt mean that your a good player it just means you've played it lots and lots. With games like MechAssault you could set a game between just you and the 2nd person on you XBox, with no one else being able to join. So people could just create a game like this and get all the kills. Easy they soon move up the rankings. You see players on MechAssault jump to over 1000 kills in just a day.
Same with Unreal, you create a game with Bots and only allow only you and your 2nd controller be able to play. When I host games I set the players to 8 but also have bots on so you still get 8 players, as if a player enters a bot drops out, and if a player drops out a bot takes over. This leads to me usually playing a whole match on my own dominating the bots. So people would just do this instead of single player and get ranked. Of course I dont do it as soon enough 1 or 2 people enter, and then the max size of 8 players is filled up.
Dont really read too much into the ranking system as there will be people out there who do the above just to get there name at the top. Just play to have fun, as alot of people on other forums dont take the ranking system serious as its easy to cheat. I've meet some good players online and have them in my friends list.

All the games so far that I have played have had a ranking system. The ranking system is split up within each game, so on Moto GP it shows a ranking system for each course, in Unreal its split similarly.
