I am sure I read somewhere that you can not use a US stuff on a UK XBox. But havent you got a US XBox Bleeders? If so you should be able to get the US kit, but the UK kit wont work.

I apologise if this has already been addressed, but you do know that you can get onto XBox Live using the US disc right? All XBox Live discs aren't region coded nor are the newer games either.
Which is nice.
Hoping MS release more detail before Nov 30th about how the test drive thing is going to work, but if not I'll be on the site on Midnight at the 29th clicking refresh until it appears - I'm hoping thay start selling them from midnight because I'm supposed to be at work at 9am on the 30th but, if I have to, I'll be late for once.
And I'm really enjoying the Xbox stuff I have so far, not played Blinx much though - blame Halo and GT2002 for that !
Cheers to adrian by the way, with what he told me I was able to buy all the stuff I needed ready to get connected,

Thanks, I tried it but the longest they do is 3 metres, I need a whopping 20 metres ! Anyway, I bit the bullet and paid £24 for a cable from ADSL warehouse - got fed up of looking around. Now I need to get a NI Card, 5 metres of crossover cable, and the test drive thing on Nov 30th.....poor wallet :(
Someone has mentioned earlier about the test drive on Nov 30th being limited ? From what the Microsoft UK guy in OXM's latest issue said I understood that there was no limited supply of the test drive kits as he says "November 30th is really the launch date as this is when anyone who wants to use it can" - it's on Xbox live feature in OXM anyway.
