So easy to use. You can be in a game within seconds. There was no lag when playing games, it was just like you had friends over to play the game or they were CPU players.

Only had a go on Whacked so far, but going to have a go on Moto GP.

My Game tag is Mossmanfly

Post yours on here.

We are Beta Testers :). You had to sign up ages and ages ago, and then they picked some people out a few weeks ago.

I dont think any slow down will occur. While I was on I used hardly any bandwidth, even a 56K modem could have probably just about coped.


So easy to set up, I had already got a Network card in my PC due to me using it for XBconnect. So all I did was connect to my ADSL internet, and made sure ICS was set on, took my 10m crossover cable, plugged it in to the PC and Network card. And that was it, just put in the CD, it loaded XBox Live on. Set up my account and I was playing. So simple and really easy to use.
