Respect homey. Well if you wanna play with me online with some games, then get yo self the following for online play and online Co-Op. Rainbow Six : Vegas - A tactical shooter. MP demo is up on Live! Graphics a little toned down from the excellent looking single player demo (Unreal Engine 3), but the gameplay is ace. Comes out in Europe on Friday. Also let's you map your face onto your online character if you have the Vision Cam. I have it, so I hope to create Bum-Face-Killa Call of Duty 3 - Again for online this is a great little FPS where you can jump in and out of. GRAW is good also, something you'll be able to pick up cheap as it was a launch title. BF2 is okay, but I find the games above along with Gears of War have alot more going for them i.e. Cover, great co-op modes. Along with them I'm mostly playing Pro Evolution Soccer 6, Ridge Racer 6 .. oh and I still have Dead Rising to play. My problem is, I got too many good games at once, but I can't play them all at once Anyway, we should at least hook up for some Campaign Co-Op on Gears and then hit some multiplayer games and chainsaw some mofos I'll add you to my Friends too.

Yeah they're so powerful MS forgot to build them good. I'm lucky enough not to fall victimn to a 360 death, but I know a few who have.
Recently MS extended all warranties to 3 years.
MS are aware of this problem and are really good in the customer service department. They replace hardware without the need of a receipt, all they ask is for the serial number on the back of the machine.
Glad you like Gears. It is a visual fookin treat. You playing on a HDTV, ijobe?
Yes, you will get used to it - like anything.. the more you use it...
You get Forza 2?
Oh and what's you Gamertag?

Gamertag? yo ijob some mo' fo had my nick already. RE: Gears of War. Honestly, the game has had me amazed with its graphics, style, game play, cut scenes. I've just reached the bit where they meet up with another squad to get airlifted out only for it to be shot down. The huge scary thing puts its sword through one of the team, couldn't believe my eyes RE: Forza 2, I havn't played yet due to lack of time but I will I'm sure. Still havn't ventured onto XBOX Live yet. And I'm playing on a 19" widescreen TFT, very nice.

I can't connect to the Live! service, am getting an IP failure when testing the connection.
I am using my BT Hub.

erm, I'm not sure if that is correct mate. Surely a router/hub is needed here. Ijob, take a look at this really good site called Xbox Live GuideDid you try taking the connection from the modem to your PC out and plugging it into your 360 to see if it's not actually a 360 configuration problem? Check that site, it holds your hand through precedure and even has guide for particular modems etc.

Thanks, I was wondering, if I would have connected my XBox to my telephone line next to my TV in the living room away from the PC, how would I have connected to Live! then?
All I've got is the ethernet cable.
