I have Blueyonder's Broadband service on my PC and have it networked up to my PC downstairs.
Would I be able to use my Blueyonder connection for Xbox Live? Is that how it all works with no extra costs?
What other games in the future are planned for the service as well?

There are alot more. Over 50 I think with 60 developers on board. A whole load more will be unveiled next year don't worry.
Game I know are coming using it- Return to Castle W, Counterstrike, Doom 3(i think), Unreal champ, Black Hawk down, loads of sega sports ones, NFL Fever, Toe Jam and Earl, DOA beach Vollyball, HALO2!, Midtown Madness 3, Soldier of Fortune 2+ loads more.
Sav or someone will give to a full list. :P

I think Xbox Live is the strongest reason why I think the Xbox should stay alive. Gaming online should be the standerd on consoles by now, but the failed attempts of Sega's online service have made that go downhill.
I think companys are scared to go online due to loss of money but I don't think Microsoft need worry about that.
Hopefully there will be alot more games compatible with it and the whole thing will take off.
Now just to get me a Xbox...:-D

Well theres Halo 2, Project Gotham 2, all the FPS will probably use XBox Live.
Current games that can be played online are MotoGP, Whacked!, Unreal Championship, MechAssault and Ghost Recon. I know that Unreal and MechAssault have the ability to download new things like maps e.t.c. but there not out yet.
Splinter Cell will have levels e.t.c. to download from XBox Live around March 2003, these will probably be on the Official XBox magazine demo disk, but not for a few months after they are on XBox Live.
Microsoft have been saying they are spending $2 Billion! on XBox Live. XBox Live games are all run through Mircosoft, so developers dont need to have there own infrastructure to support online games. Microsoft will help developers make XBox Live games and make sure they are compatiable with the service. This means developers dont need to spend lots of time on the XBox Live aspect of the game.
I think alot of games that have a multi-player mode will have XBox Live built in.

Yep thats how it works, through your existing Broadband connection. The only cost involved is buying the XBox Live kit from Microsoft at £42.99. You will then have subscription to XBox Live until March 14th 2004! so over a year to play, then you will need to buy a new subscription.
Linking the XBox can be done a few different ways so look on http://www.xbox.com/uk/ live/beta/choosetype.htm (remove space).
I use the ICS method and that works fine.
