Yup, another Xbox 360 thread.....

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

Ok im thinkin bout buyin one soon and more than likely the salesman in the shop will be retarded so il ask a few questions here first and hopefully some of them will be answered.

HOw does Wi Fi work?.....Is it free of charge?.....Does it come with the package or do you have 2 buy seperately?


If i use ethernet does my xbox need 2 b in the same room as my pc?


Is there anyway i can move all of the albums i ripped on2 my xbox 2 the 360? Coz i got 60 albums on there and dont want them 2 go 2 waste.....


What can you actually do with your ipod on the 360? Just play your songs i expect?


Do 360's account for all regions? Like if i buy one in New Zealand but want 2 take it to Australia or back 2 scotland will the xbox live and dvd's still work?


Will most of the newer games for the og xbox be available 2 play? I heard theres 200 games that are backdated so has ne1 got a list??


Are they really as unreliable as people say? Bcoz where i am they only came out yesterday so should most faults have been fixed by now?


And this is a bit of a broad question but can someone explain online playing/xbox live 2 me please??.....


Props for anyone who can answer. Cheers.....

"Are they really as unreliable as people say? Bcoz where i am they only came out yesterday so should most faults have been fixed by now?"



Seems like most of the problems lies on the systems that was launched back in november...but every system is always gonna have problems since its not perfect...i heard Microsofts customer service is pretty good...if your system is a defect, call them up, and they will send you a pre-paid box to ship out the system...and in couple days, you will get a new one(or a refurbished) back...

I recommend gettin the 360 man,Espicially if ur into RPGs, Oblivion just came out on tuesday and man that game is fuckin incredible, u can do sooo much shit its an open ended RPG,Ghost Recon also came out this month and its dope too, but Oblivion is definitely the Must Buy for the 360 , also Call of Duty 2 is dope,they released a patch earlier this week to fix some of the bug online (lag n stuff) so now its got great online and offline

but yea ill answer all ur questions

1.The internet service microsoft uses is called Xboxlive and its hands down better then any competitor, umm theres 2 different options Xbox live silver and Xbox live gold
silver is free and can be used to download game demos,trailers,patches n stuff from the marketplace and Xbox live gold is what u need to be able to play online
you can prolly find a good deal for xboxlivegold,i think the msrb on it is like 50 american maybe? not sure but again u can prolly find it cheaper and its for 1 year subscription

2. Are u running wireless or wired? if its wired then u just gotta make sure u have enough wire and if its wireless then it shouldnt be a problem at all

3. No, u gotta load them on again,but the dope thing about the 360 is that u can use a CDRW and just keep on loading tracks onto the hardrive from the cdrw

4. Yup u can play ur songs (while in game,streaming it, in any game since the 360 supports custom soundtracks for any game) and also im pretty sure u can view photos stored on ur ipod on ur 360 ( i know with creative mp3 players u can, so im guessin ipods should b the same)

5. I know there region coded but im not sure about ur question, i dunno what specific regions they use

6. yea i got the list http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm  but some xbox games have problems on the 360, not all but some. Im really not sure if the new ones will be avalible i know for sure that Black wont be but i dunno about other games

7. Had it since launch and have had 0 problems with it but i do know some ppl who have had problems,but like other dude said microsoft has excellent customer service so if u do have problems u shouldnt have a problem getting it fixed

8. Xbox live on the 360 is sick man, dont worry you'll love the xbox live

got any other questions feel free to ask
