Yeah it can be. I was having a good game on UC today on CTF. It was a 16 player with no lag. I spent the whole match talking to 2 guys, 1 from the US and the other from the UK. UC has voice channels so only a max of 4 can be on one channel, which can be annoying for team play, as the team is effectively split into 2 voice channels.
I have my kit but don't have the right cable...

me toooooooooooooooooooooooo :-D
Reading the first topic about it I see these people who got selected:
adrian
GlideM
Tóm
Your Olympic Hero
viperfire
Silent85
Savatt78
They were the people who asked for it and they ALL got emails offereing it to them...
How many of them didn't get the kits?
Savatt didn't did he?
> 3000 isn't a lot really...
Exactly, BECAUSE IT WAS A BETA TEST, the whole point was MS did not know 100% if the UK system was play worthy so they only wanted a limited number of people.

Loads ? I think there are about 4 people on here who got on the beta, maybe 3.
BTW, just checked order status and my kit has shipped !! :)

3000 isn't a lot really...
If you think that loads of people here ordered the kits for the beta test and almost everyone has got it it shows that the demand wasn't actually that high!
I'd be surprised if they had over 5000 requests for it over here...

No you shouldnt. Has your dashboard updated to XBox Live? You should have 4 options on your main dashboard now, click on the XBox Live one and there you will be able to connect to XBox Live. It will try to connect to XBox Live and will come up with errors or success for each of the 4 different sections. If you get an error at the cable level, the first test then you havent got your XBox connected right. If you get an error on the next 2 sections, then its something to do with your connection setup, maybe you need to configure the MAC addressess e.t.c. If you get an error on the last one, then its Mircosofts fault, as this is trying to connect you to the service, maybe its down. Or maybe your account is incorrect.
The Kit is only the headset and the starter disk. If you signed up via XBox Live through UC then thats the same as if you had used the starter disk. The headset is an optional feature, dont forget that if you have a guest on your XBox playing a game then they dont have the headset. So alot of players on UC have no headset, or havent plugged it in.
