X-Box Live questions

Post by Jade Falcon »

Well I recently got an X-Box 360, and there's a few questions.

I've still got my Gold Live one month trial.

1. When connecting to the DSL modem on my PC would I have to keep the PC on while trying to run live. I assume so, but I'm not sure.

2. Most critically, can you get an 'extension' cable. In my room the TV is plugged in one side of the room and the PC is at the other. The lack of plugs means there's no other alternative, and I don't think the default ethernet cable would be long enough to reach.

3. What are Microsoft money points. I think that's the name, since I saw it mentioned on a 360 forum. It was talking about downloadable content for Saints Row that cost 100 MS points.

I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own - Number 6

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

That's rather amusing really. Microsoft extending their warranty to "One full year!"..whilst over her that's a legal requirement in the first place (soon to be upped to two years as well) Guess some people get really shafted on their electronics over there. :)
