Me and my friend are both getting launch X-Boxes, and have shared the cost of the link cable.
I also read somewhere in the Offical X-Box mag that they may try and organise LAN games.

My mate is getting an X-Box too. I'm gonna be grabbing a link cable. Hopefully my cousin Jay might pick an X-Box up too.
If its gonna be a case of us all meeting up, looks like we're gonna be adding X-Box carry cases to our pre-orders.

Especially when my friends are over. Thing is their ponces when it comes to games. Basically I buy it all while they come over and play at their leisure. What really got me in shock and nearly got one of them a thump in the mouth was when one of them said I had to buy this game for everyone to play. I said "Why don't you buy it !?" (of course not as polite a choice of words) cause they knew it wasn't my type of game and they were like "Well, you like buying games don't ya".
Now, a few of them have Playstations and stuff, but their so bloody tight fisted. The only way you can interest them in buying a game is if the words "copied" and "£5" comes into it. Cheap ba.... anyway...

Has he got a life long friend called silent Bob ? :)
Anyway, it seems most of us arent in close distance, so LAN games are out of the question really. I wonder if the Official X-Box mag is going to organise anything? In the letters page they say they are thinkng about it.

Actually, you should be able to do this without a hub. Your PC needs two network cards, one connected to ADSL/Cable modem, and one connected to the Xbox using an ethernet crossover cable. This will connect any two ethernet appliances without the need for a hub.

Maybe. But there are only a few certain ways to connect it all up that work.

Mwhahahaha!!! I get my broadband installed on Monday from those kind chappies at Telewest :)
A friend of mine was told that Telewest doesn't support the console. If your getting it for that reason you might wanna check quickly before getting it installed. :-)
