After what seems like ages, we've finally got Broadband on order, so will be on Live in about 2 weeks I guess.

Had a real quick look for a Start Kit online last night, cheapest I could find was 29.99, surely they must be cheaper than that? I did see an offer of the kit with Forza for 59.99, but not sure about that one.

Anyway, I have got these Live games:

Halo 2
PGR2
Juiced
Pro Evo 4
Outrun
Topspin

I think that's it at the mo, unless you lot can suggest some others worth getting?

Gamertag etc to follow.

So is it only worth playing on Live with people you already "know"? Obviously my friends list will be pretty short (i.e. empty) when I first start. Will I have to play loads of screaming americans for ages before I can start finding the odd decent (i.e. playing for fun) player?

I tend to be put off clans cause I don't like the whole blame passing thing when the team loses. Had enough of that crap on Steel Battalion, so if I join a team, its usually with friends who can have a laugh and not start screaming at everyone.

Made up a pretty decent little team called War Whorz with a friend lately. Used to have a car club on Forza too called Cars U Need To See. Will probably try to use that War Whorz team for most war games in future. :-)

Haha, like the name :-)

I'd be up for a bit of a clan. Will probably need some practice first though...

Hoho, my CS name still contains the [ASS] tag - shame I haven't been on it in Months :(

But yeah, we should set up an Xbox [ASS] - I remember Halo 2 let you create clans. With the Xbox 360 being all inter-everything, I wonder if they will give us the ability to associate ourselves with a clan no matter what game we play.

Join the [ASS], my CounterStrike clan. We can fit Xbox games in too. The [ASS] is airy and needs filling.

The only SR clans I've seen have been pointless little throw-away ones that last a week at most.

If a small group wanted to come together to make a decent Chaos Theory clan/other game clan (but no Halo 2) then I'd be up for it.

We've been given a date of october the 4th, so hopefully it'll be then. That's under two weeks away so I guess it's not too bad.

Is there any kind of [SR] Clan or anything? Just figured that there must be enough players on here to put one together.

Whaddya think?

Plus I'll be picking up Kingdom Under Fire Heroes and Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Thanks Spike ;-)

Think I'll go for that offer then, I reckon it'll be about the best I can get, even if I won't use Fifa.

Might be able to sell it to some mug...
