Can't we have one big xbox live topic, instead of 10 individual topics all asking the same questions?
It's just that i've noticed alot of new topics created recently, it would make it more manageable.

Dont forget Unreal Championship also has downloadable content.
You will need a broadband connection so if you have one then its ok, but if not check if you can get broadband via ADSL or Cable. Then it may cost £50-100 for installation depending on supplier. Then you need the monthly subscription to the broadband at £20-30. Also then you need either a router £100+ or use the modem you probably get with your installation, and hook it up to your Network card, if you havent got one then thats £15 and then some cable for the connection between the XBox and PC £5. If you have broadband then its the £42.99, but if you havent you got to add up all the other stuff as well. And of course you need some games. You get 2 demos but there only short demos. Moto GP can be rented out and you can unlock all the tracks e.t.c. and then use the save to unlock them in the demo.

£39.99 for the kit and 1 years subscription.

Once the kit is purchased, you'll just need to pay your broadband connection to whoever you join up with. Normally around £30 a month - there should be some decent deals around.

£40 for the pack, and your monthly fee for broadband.
> 2. How much will it cost to run?
Just the £40 a year for the MS service. Obviously, you have to add on the price of broadband, but if you already use it for the PC, that's no big problem
> 3. What games will run on it?
A LOT of games will be available for it in the near future (along with some already). There's going to be Halo 2, PGR 2, Mech assult, basically, a lot. Also, some games will allow you to download extra levels with it, such as Splinter Cell.
> 4. When's it coming out in Britain.
You can go to the official Xbox site, order it now and begin to play straight away as part of the testdrive service. You'll be able to buy it in shops from March 14th, one year after the Xbox's release.

Phft. Dunno.

Testdrive kit from www.xbox.com/uk/live will cost £42.99 including postage, you get a communicator, two special version games, and a years subscription that doesnt start until 14th March 2003. You will need broadband, and a way of hooking your Xbox to your connection via whatever modem you have.
> 2. How much will it cost to run?
The first year is included in your £42.99 but no definite prices yet, you can easily cancel your membership if you don't like the prices when they announce them.

Moto GP - on Testdrive disc and needs retail version to unlock all features - rent it from Blockbuster to do this cheaply if you don't have it.
Mech Assault
Unreal
Ghost Recon
Splinter Cell - downloadable content
50+ more guaranteed by end of 2003, 20+ for March 14th

Yep, and it will be online play.
