I think I have Tiscali Max, where it finds my max speed which isn't that much because we're too far away from the exchange or something?

Anyway, could I connect the Xbox to this?

Speedtouch 330. It looks like that but more rectangular.

So does anyone know if it's possible?

My fiance bought me an Xbox 360 for Christmas, Premium edition, with Gears of War, PES6, Project Gotham 3 and Splinter Cell: Double Agent. I also bought Just Cause, Tomb Raider Legend, Call of Duty 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Viva Pinata, Kameo, Football Manager 2006, Halo 2, Fable and Jade Empire on eBay and elsewhere (with Oblivion and GRAW due this week).

I have to say that I have been blown away, its simply a brilliant console. I've had consoles before, but this is by far the best. The dashboard is fabulous, and the games have been excellent so far.

I'm a hardcore PC gamer in that I buy about 4 PC games a month and spend, on average, €1000 a year on hardware, but I think I'll be sticking to my 360 for a while, for ease at use, as although a pimped out PC costing about €3000 would be more powerful than the 360, I don't think we'll see many games out in 2007 that will be better on the PC.

Mmm, the Wii has been an astonishing success, but there is a chance that it could become a flash in the pan gimmick like the Rubex Cude and Billy the Singing Trout.

The 360 has some seriously good games with more and more excellent ones coming out.

JBG, you must have one heck of an understanding woman. The wife would go mental if I spent that amount of time gaming - I get the 'We never spend quality time together.........' regularly as it is!

Er, its a bone of contention between me and the missus. I can have the odd blast of Gears provided I spend plenty of quality time downstairs first.  :oops:

Bought GTA: Vice City Stories today for the PSP.  I bought it cause I'm trying to stay in and stay out the pub at weekends to save some cash for a trip Down under.

Hence me going the cinema tonight on my bill again to see Smokin Aces.  Quite a good way to kill a  couple of hours.  Might go and see Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin tomorrow.
