The "Xbox Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I've been reading up on more about the service and most in here know about the Beta testing thats going on soon.
Well apparently, the 3000 beta testers have been chosen and will begin their envious task on October 29th - November 29th. Now, this is where the VERY interesting bit comes in.
Apparently from here, on November 30th, Microsoft are going to offer any X-Box owners who have broadband now to sign up early as well.
I'm guessing you'll have needed to sign up to the beta testing to show you have broadband though.
The little package of happiness looks like it will only be available to buy directly from xbox.com with the shops obviously getting it for its official March 14th release.
And as some will know, this gives you a few months of free online gaming as your years subscription won't start until the official launch day of the service. :-)
So for all those that are ready and waiting with broadband connections, the wait might not be as long as we'd first thought. :-)

Already got broadband so may try to get XBox live after Beta Testing. Signed up for Beta Testing on XBox.com, but did'nt get in, unless I signed up for the American testing or something stupid.
I use my Broadband connection quite alot for downloading and uploading so I wonder if you will need to use all of the bandwith of ADSL. My friend has 2 computers running on a shared ADSL and they both run online games at the same time, so online games dont need that much bandwith.

Hard to really say which broadband is best. As for the years subscription to X-Box Live - you'll be paying £39.99.
This gives you the disc needed to boot up the service on your X-Box, the headset so you can talk to other players and 2 online games - Moto GP and a party style game called Whacked. :-)
