Iam trying to start a xbox gaming center in my town. right now the only place to go is game zone and they wont let you link up for more than 3 hours. so we take turns meeting at peoples houses. me and my friends have been a few tournaments and i think a gaming center would hit it off big here . any ideas or suggestions on where to start?

You need a license of some sort, you should rent a building, buy some TVs, etc. Running a business costs a lot of money.

If you're serious, you'll borrow some money, purchase all the equipment you need and a building, customise the building to your needs, and then unveil it to the public. If you've done a good enough job, you should be able to pay back the debt soon enough, and then start bringing in the cash for yourself.

Unless you don't want it as a serious business, in which case I suggest you gather the local gaming community for contributions and set about getting everything you need, and renting/buying a building.

Instead of T.V.'s you should have computer monitors and hook up a box to it that gives the LAN centers Andim right to how much time can be played ect...

I wish I had my own xbox LAN center.

get enough money to buy a store, clear it out, put in a huge tv, make a place for the xbox, buy a sign to put obve the store and explain what it is on the window with fliers.

The big expenses will come when the new Xbox comes out.
