[WTF]

That's a good idea man.

I would buy another Xbox as well, but I simply can't afford it  

[Questioner]

MS finds another sucker...

[slappynutz]

Considering MS still loses money on each Xbox, maybe sucker isn't the best term.

I got sick of waiting too, but I had a different solution. Thanks to the extended warranty I got from CompUSA when I bought my Xbox (back on Nov. 15, 2001 ) I was able to just return my Xbox to a 'virgin' state, but only make it not boot (give the "Your Xbox needs service" screen), and get a whole new one. The bonus? Instead of just getting a replacement unit, I packed up the Xbox + controller + power cord + A/V Hookups and they gave me a whole Sega bundle. I was going to be getting the X-ecutor II Pro anyways, so now I'll just have to wait for it before I can mod my v1.1 box, but I'll be busy playing MechAssault on Live, so its all ok.

I'm still interested to see how all these problems with XBL turn out though...

Why buy another Xbox just to use Xbox Live for?

Common you can use XBConnect which supports all the Xbox Live Games and MORE. Example: Halo and Time Splitters 2.    

Positives.

1. You can use all your BACKUP games online WITHOUT being banned.

2. You can use your Xbox Live Voice Communicator with XBConnect. (Pretty
Kool Huh?)

3. XBConnect is FREE. Unless you want to buy the Pro Version for like $12.

4. Normally XBConnect has more users on it so it is easier to find a game.

5. Its better then Gamespy Arcade.  (Gamespy is way to laggy)

6. When your using the Voice Communicator with XBConnect you DONT have the annoying Voice Masking shit.    (This Is A Great Thing)

7. AND MANY MORE................................................


             

Dont waste $200 on another Xbox when you can just use XBConnect.


I think thats so kool how you can use your Xbox Live Voice Communicator with XBConnect though.

hey DK05!!!!

did i play mech assault or tony hawks with you on gamespy???

[LumbraX]

What the fuck are you talking about dude.  XBConnect supports every Xbox Live game and even more.  

They just havnt updated their page yet.


           

[LumbraX]

So far I have played these games with XBConnect.

Ghost Recon
Mech Assault
Halo
Time Spliters 2
THPS 2X and THPS 3
NFL Fever 2003
Nascar Heat
and a few others,  cant remember the names of them.        

[LumbraX]

Becuase these N00bs are so paranoid there becoming NOM.  and 1/2 of the peeps on this forum dont even know about XBConnect,

And some use shitty gamespy and think XBConnect is the same,

[LumbraX]

and I have Xbox Live Bro.  I was a BETA Tester.  I just now decided I like XBConnect allitle better. Xbox Live is still kool but if you dont have a DISABLE SWITCH use XBConnect.

If you do have a DISABLE switch then fuck XBConnect and use XBL.

[angone54321]

dude xbconnect isnt as good dude. Why u think all these hackers are tryin to fix Live?  cuz they dont wanna play xbconnect.

[LumbraX]

have you ever used  XBConnect ?

[LumbraX]

   

[angone54321]

i have a swicth but thats kinda to late after registering xbl with it on, cuz no one knew of all tehse problems then.  I have used xbconnect and i dont like using it. Ecspecially when i am making online tournaments and leagues for games. XBconnect isnt the way to go. And i just checkd connect like 5 min ago and 90% of the people are on HAlo. Also i dont belive all the true hard core gamers would be on xbconnect, cuz a hardcore gamer would put up the monet to play Live.  

I may be wrong, and some u maybe jealous. But i just got my Discover Platinum card a few days ago and i have a 9k$ limit, with 0% interest for one year. So why not buy a new xbox? I have 0% interest for a year so i could make like 10$ a month payments on it then pay 80$ on the final month.

pin it !
