If i buy it now does that mean my free year of X-box live starts now? or can i activate it when halo 2 comes out?

-S

Your XBox Live activates when you activate it. You can buy the starter kit now, and activate it later.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I have a question about XBL too. How much is it? What do you need for it?

XBL is more or less $10 a month. You require a high speed internet connection (DSL/Cable only) and a one-way ethernet cable to hook from your box to the source of your internet connection (router, cable jack, etc.). Now, I'd like to add that you won't be able to use the 'system link' ethernet cable that Microsoft sells for Xbox. I learned the hard way that those are two way and won't work for XBL. Once you have all that, you'll probably want to buy a starter kit which comes with a year-long subscription to XBL and a communicator headset.
Get those things down and you're all set to install.

thanks. Well in that case i'm off to buy the starter kit. oh! and one of those team-headset dealies that i see around so much these days. And to tell the guy at EB that i want the limited edition. You'd think that he would assume that i want it since i've had it reserved for over a year....
