so, who else is planning on getting one at launch, & should we hook up for a few games ? if so we need to decide which game/games to buy,

SUGGESTIONS.

perfect dark Zero
Project Gotham Racing 3

all dependent on favourable pre-releas reviews, cos at the moment i don`t know squat about any of em.

SO waddaya think ? anyone wanna sign up in advance we could be a proper reviewer clan ?

Also, if this gets off the ground (minimum 4 members) we will need a name, i suggest peeps suggest clan tags then it goes to a vote.

Well I just preordered one through play.com so if they come through with mine at launch I was thinking of getting Call of Duty 2 depending on reviews

I also preodered the Vga cable connector £17.99 (hi-def deserves to be played through my monitor)

should do, but maybe we could do with some advice from peeps like jamesL as they have x-box live already & the setup will probably be the same (for the record i`ll be going through a belkin router)

SO as for the games, the current poll is as follows

PERFECT DARK ZERO = 1Point
PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 3 1Point
CALL OF DUTY 2 = 1Point

dependant on reviews & also i reckon we shouldn`t limit ourselves to a single game, feel free to put more than 1 game foreward for the vote :) but remember, we`re looking for good LIVE games :)

If you haven`t already pre-ordered it, don`t hold your breath on getting one this side of Christmas.

BTW I ordered PGR3 with mine (also from Play).

Cheers

The 360 broadband setup should be the same as xbox::

(this is from one of my previous posts)

for a wired connection you`ll need a

modem/router

and then some CAT5 ethernet cable to run to your xbox


That`s my configuration.. there are other ways of getting set up, but a modem/router and CAT5 ethernet cable is the easiest. If you want to go the wireless way.. I have no experience of that, although I understand it`s a lot easier than it used to be.


oh, from amazon...

play seem to still be taking orders without any warnings though.

So let me get this straight, the Xbox will be capable of Hi-Def, so by buying a relevant cable we can plug it into a PC monitor and this will give us a HD picture quality?

Also, I`m really not going to trust those pictures you`ve posted Ogster until I`ve seen the games running in real time. Alot of those don`t appear to be in-game to me - but then I may be wrong.

Not sure if I`ll get Xbox Live when I get my 360, because I never really got into it before when I had it on my normal Xbox. But we`ll see - I`m still not sure if I`ll get one on the opening day, or just wait for it to be chipped.
