Well, I remember a topic a while ago when people were wondering how they'd manage to plug a modem into the Xbox.

I haven't actually tried this modem, but I remember people asking if such a thing existed. And it does. Here:

A modem with a USB plug and a Ethernet adapter, which could either go into your Xbox or into a hub.

So maybe if you're about to take up Broadband, you should go for the pack without the included modems and try one of these out instead? Like I said though, I haven't tried one, so I don't know if they're much cop.

Hahaha

I knew such a thing existed.

SO

That means A USB conncection to your PC and a port to plug into your Xbox WITHOUT having to actually connect PC and Xbox togeter.

Great.

I was talking to the guys yesterday at MS about xbox live, and they said that Telewest and other such companies will be doing specail pack deals, with subscriptions etc. Also, there are instructions on how to hook up your Xbox to broadband, you can even go through a PC or a Mac!
