Yeah, £40 a year for the subscription.

However, when you first get it you will either need:

- An adaptor specifically for the Xbox, this is basically a wireless adaptor like you have with computers, just so your Xbox can communicate with your computer to get online. I think thesea are around £60.

- An Ethernet cable, basically if your Xbox is close enough to your wireless adaptor thing then you can hook it straight up. I'm unaware of the price of these, but I think you may get them in the bundle with the Premium Xbox. This is the one I got, but I havn't looked to see if we have one as we wouldn't use it anyway! lol

I havn't thought about trading in my PS2... hmmm might consider doing that now loool


Lol, i got the 360 & ps2 was thinking about selling my ps2 with like 30 + games.. but its still confusing on what to do :P

as for people, everyone has their own opions, apprently ps3's are better however they charge like £100 + for their consols just because it plays blueray.. id rather stick to my xbox 360 + xbox live with friends chat downloads etc :)

Depends on the router Rudders!

I got an Xbox Premium package and that has everything you need to be able to go live. I felt abit stupid asking my mate this......

I think if you go below the Premium package then you can't really get on live, or if you do it's not that great.

Dave, how did you get that Union Jack on your car? I can't find it anywhere......


I'll have to post my VW R32 as soon as I get live, must say it looks rather nice. Although I'm still figuring out how to use that paint thing..... very impressed though! It's everything GT could hope to be.

Forza 2 is more like Gran Turismo, only with a better feel of drive and better capabilites when modding and buying cars. You also get alot of supercars in the game, Ferrari, Lambourgini ect ect I think there might even be a Konigzeg (Sorry about the spellings)

PGR4 I've got but not really played on much so Dave might be the man to ask, from what I've played of it, it''s more of an arcady sort of game!

If you like shoot em' ups get Call of Duty 4, amazing game!


I'm not a know it all Rudders, perhaps talk to others before taking my word on anything, but how I understand it a premium package is alot better. There is an upgrade to the premium oackage where you get a bigger memory or something like that, but I didn't think it necessary!

will work if you connect it in the back of ur xbox and pc it will share the network, if you use wireless you need to enable network sharing i think, unless thats just for media im not sure, however it doesnt matter aslong as your wireless network connects to your router..

edit for the text i missed.. hope ihelped (probaly not) :P
