You dont need a credit card, well i didnt 6 months ago when I got my 360. Registered using my MSLive account and that was it. To use Xbox live gold you need to subscribe but you can do that by buying a voucher. No credit card is needed.
Original xbox you need a credit card !!!!

Has anyone here got on the COD5 beta? Signed up only the other day, too late i think (plus i dont actually have a gold acc at the minute lol) Was on the COD4 beta but dont think i transferred my account over properly when i signed up on callofduty.com. Oh well
Anyway.. Looking forward to this  Not long wil GOW2 either, shame it's been leaked all over the internet a while before the official release. I want it now 
Generally an exciting month ahead for gaming. Think i'll be renewing my live at some point! |

Anyone know anywhere thats selling the codes cheaply? The one on the above link has gone up to £27 - still cheap, but not as cheap as it was the other day |

So whats your verdict so far on FarCry2 Trev? I've heard it's a bit of a let down for people that are coming from the original PC version.... no free-roaming landscape
COD5 multiplayer is pretty good, tbh i didnt play COD4 much online so wouldnt really notice the changes as much or whats new etc. The dogs are a b*tch though...they just sneak up on you! Only up to Level 4 atm lol But going play it some more this week...
Been playing Midnight Club LA loads over the weekend - and i have to say it's awesome! It's kind of what i thought Burnout lacked in the way of fast rolling action, as you *had* to drive to each race/event and couldnt set a GPS tracker. MC:LA is so free flowing and much more fun! |

If anyones interested, I plugged in a 4 port USB hub into the 360 and connected 2 controllers and it works fine. So thats 2 controllers on one 360 usb port.
Played Fifa09 and Pro evo demo's and I hate to say it but it might be Fifa for me. Pro seems a bit basic. |

I've been playing the PS3 version almost non-stop since the day it released. Absolutely awesome game!

Yes! It's simply awesome... not much more you could ask for from an arcady driving game. The special abilities are a wicked touch too! I've heard it's only downside is that it gets too hard later on in the game
As for fifa09 or evo... i've only played the evo demo so can only speak for that, but i've been told the full game is much more polished than the demo. Will give the fifa demo a punt though. Cant see me buying either tbh what with GOW2 and COD5 on the horizon, and Midnight Club to keep me entertained  |

Not too hard in my opinion. Just very challenging, which to me is somewhat refreshing. It means you might have to do a single race several times to learn the route, and then do a perfect lap or two, but it's so rewarding when you do it! I swear this game has me addicted!
I love the EMP special ability which is a new addition for this game. Probably the most useful ability for me.

Yeah i'm thinking the reviewer who wrote that is just a poo gamer  I'm loving the fact it's getting a bit harder, more challenging. Now i've just kitted my muscle car up the races are getting a bit more intense and traffic weaving like burnout - but better! I'm not looking forward to having to bet your car in a race - my mate has lost two of his most kitted up cars..GONE 
May have a nosey in zavvi tomo then see what they've got...prob nothing decent knowing them! |
