What is XBC and how does it work?
And can someone please tell me what FTW means?!
There's this thing, it's called Google, ever heard of it? :)
"XBC" or Xbox Connect is basically a poor man's Xbox Live. An internet connection, a computer, and an Xbox (360) is required. One must connect his console to the internet, which can be done many ways, and it must be connected to a network with a computer. Meanwhile, on the computer, Xbox Connect, a program that can be downloaded from Xbox Connect's website, must be downloaded and installed.
Other players have hooked up their consoles to the internet and sign into Xbox Connect. They can host games or join games for whatever game out there that supports system link. Basically, what Xbox Connect does is trick your console into thinking it's playing a system link, as if you're playing with people in the next room, when in reality, you're playing a game through Xbox Connect, online, through the internet. This is a huge boon for players who do not have Xbox Live, and for those who wish to play games not supported by online play through a system link. Not only does XBC support the Xbox and the Xbox 360, but the PSP as well.
This is, however, nothing like the simplified, easy-to-setup Xbox Live service, which in my opinion, is much more superior and worth the price.
