looks schweet as. Tempted too! It looks just like the official US carbon one only without the logo, which can be had for £13.88 del http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=8291817962&rd=1&rd=1

bugger i just bin upto £19.50 on and got out bid straight away... i'm not paying that for it!
Posted by RyaN
yeah exactly, this is where it gets a bit silly. Unless you're an avid collector who the fook wants to pay over £20 for a piece of placcy. Still, i guess it depends on how much ya want it

woooooo, just got back home with Lost Planet in hand, collectors edition of course, i asked about the one with a faceplate but the guy in Game just looked at me blankly, so went to Gamestation traded GRAW in and used a fiver credit note and came to £27 so not bad at all
edit: i want a TDU faceplate! Only one on ebay i can find....

Whtas a credit note mate? And those faceplates are 3rd party aren't they?
Posted by RyaN
Oi i want that TDU faceplate lol...Fight ya for it!
Posted by arien617
Game sells faceplate creation kits if you want to have a go at making one for yourself.
Posted by scottt
@Danny, when you go to gamestation and trade a game in but there aint anything else you want they give you a recipt called a credit note which has an amount on it, so say i had traded in GRAW and there was nothing i wanted they would give me a £12 credit note to use another day
oh and just bought this.......impulse but meh

is xbox 360 online service free?
Posted by Danny_BFC
No mate. Its £40 a year but you can get it cheaper on the net in places
Posted by solidsingh
do you have to give them your card details and all that like on the first xbox live service
Posted by Danny_BFC
Ye mate, and then it will automatically take the money off each year. I used a debit card tho
Posted by solidsingh
thats just silly, i bet they dont tell you when its up for renewal
Posted by Burgaz
Right i'll now be spending most of tomorrow morning figuring out how to share my wifi connection with my 360 through my pc.... Like scott said he's done pretty much.. Anyone got a link to a guide or is there one on the xbox site...
Posted by scottt
@epic clive its easy as pie!
just plug the ethernet cable into the 360 and the other end in ya PC/Laptop, then go to control panel then Network connections, right click on your net connection, click properties, then click the advanced tab and just tick the box which says "Allow other users to connect through this internets connection"
Easy as Pie eh
Posted by Burgaz
cheers buddy!
i got a load of stuff my mate printed out when he did his about setting up the ip addresses and stuff... Told me i need a crossover ethernet cable (cos i'm not using a router) so i made one in work. Is that right do you know? I know using the Zune software i can stream stuff from my pc to my xbox now, using the crossover.
Posted by fatreg
i best not get a 360 then if i need use win xp....
i got a mac
can you connect wirelessly to a router?
fatreg
Posted by Dicky Snapples
just got an email saying my live subcription is up soon!
must buy the subscription again tomorrow!
Posted by Burgaz
you can connect to a wireless or wired router its just mines downstairs so i don't wanna run a 25m cable down there and i'm not up for buying a £60 wireless adapter for my box so this way is easier and cheaper!
Any ways reggie i thought you were a PS3 fanboy?
Posted by fatreg

the online options, i havn't experienced many connection issues
like to play online along with my friends.
like previous week i couldn't get pass a boss with gow, he helped me along so we killed the boss together at insane difficulty
Posted by Burgaz
Well my plans to connect to live this morning have been scuppered by my missus who beat me to the Xbox this morning and is now playing Tony Hawk AGAIN!!!!
I've set up everything the PC side i'm just waiting for the xbox....
Posted by twerg
Howdy. I have just been able to connect my 360 to Live through my GPRS on my Jam and Live tells me there is an update available.
I do not have broadband so it has never been updated, and i know my slow connetion will not work for gamingonline and stuff.
My question is in relation to accepting the download for the update.
How big is the update in MB's, and if I start but then stop the download will it screw my 360 up?
Thanks for any help.
Posted by Burgaz
i don't know but i've just connected for the first time and downloaded that update you mention... But now my console can find it's ip address??
Anyone care to help?
Posted by twerg
Thanks for replying, maybe someone else may know.
Searching on the net tells that the update is available but no mention of size.
Sorry I cant help with your problem, I know very little about networks.
Posted by Burgaz
Right i'm all sorted but had to change my gamer tag to Burgaz cos otherwise i'd of lost all my saves!!
Posted by scottt
I'll add ya pal! And then invite ya to esato car club
Posted by Burgaz
i gotta go out for a bit... should be on later that took a lot longer than i thought!
I'm back to being burgaz here too!
Posted by twerg
I cant believe this but I got access now to live through my mobiles GPRS.
Downloaded the update, did not take too long.
Taking forever to load the market place though. Ah, got it now.
Might try a game, though it wont work. Will see what happens!

I got live running last weekend. After talking to a guy in my local game shop i decided to run a cable around my lounge rather than buy the wireless adapter which from what he was saying can be a little unreliable.
Anyway, am currently surviving on copius amounts of coffee to keep me awake as I just can't get enough of Eder Dam on COD3
Spent an evening playing the lost planet demo on live, most enjoyable although the control system is a little frustrating when in the middle of a battle. I personally don't think it warrants the full price but would deffinately buy it when the price drops
Gamertag = marlonski

Hello mate, I'll keep my eye out for you then
Not many games, I treated myself to the 360 for Christmas. I meant to wrap it up and put it under my tree, but oops that didn't happen!!! I have a couple of games, but to be honest there isn't anything else I'm desperate for at the mo and now I'm on live it's pretty much COD3 which is getting my attention.
My games...
Some unplugged arcade shite
COD3
Rainbow 6 Las Vegas
Project Gotham 3
Fifa World Cup Germany 06
Looking forward to Colin McRae amonst others

Posted by Burgaz

Has anyone here got need for speed carbon? I started it last night and im already 51% through it, with 5 Fully modded cars
I have so far:
Clio V6
Dodge R/T - Old 1
Dodge RT - New one
Chevvy Camero
Porsche Caymam
Ford Mustang GT500 - Unmodded ATM
All are lightning quick. I use the clio for drifting, and the Dodge's for everything else.
I'd recommend tht you rent it first tho!
Posted by Burgaz
I'm trying to sell my Stage3 F1 for $925,000! Any takers...
Posted by Danny_BFC

Just to add im now on the last mission of Carbon
