How to set up Xbox Live

You guys are stars. I just looked online for a while on how to do this, but was unfortunately unsuccessful in finding a good resource. But then of course I thought I should check on MyGaming, where else?

Two thumbs up!
 
Hi Chaps, hope you can help me please, setup my live account this evening, but cant seem to connect to any MP games. I tried to play some GOW2 games, but it just doesnt find any games....What must I do to be able to join MP games?
 
Gears matchmaking is notoriously slow. Assuming your router config is happy, it's probably just a case of ... well, not finding any games. :P

The best way to join games is to add people to your friend list, and join their games. Check out the lists on xbox360gamers.co.za to find other people playing the games you want to play. :)

You may need to do some port forwarding, I had a similar problem and solved it by doing so.

Can be done easily using the walkthrough on this site http://www.portforward.com/
 
Right - so my dialup pppoe didn't gief any love and i decided to hell with route sentry. Running all traffic via my 10GB Afrihost acc. now which means my sexbox is back on live :)

Prolly US with the current sexchange rate.

OK so ... I have a month's Gold account # and I'm playing GRiD online tonight ... where do I enter my gold access key?

But ...

UK: 2100 points x 249 = 0.118571429 Rands/point
US: 1600 points x 215 = 0.134375 Rands/point

UK is cheaper.

Also, do you need a Gold/Silver/Whatever account to be able to download games from XBLA?
 
i would say US, why simple example they get the good s*** first. just look at brutal legend demo was out for us 1 week before rest of the enslaved world.
 
Uh, no. People with preorders from Gamestop had exclusive access to the demo beforehand.

um yes, after that it was release on the 25th of September to US gold first

go look at their FB page enough moaning and bitchin there to confirm my statement.

Brütal Legend The Brutal Legend Demo is available now to all Xbox Live Gold Members! Come and get it! Remember, the demo is available to everyone on Oct 1st.

Paying for the demo yet again. >:(
It's free, and will be free to Xbox Silver members on the 1st.

You should really have said 'to all US Xbox live gold members' . We have already gone through the pain and annoyance of being told it's available and then finding out it's not, and that we (non North Americans) have to wait until 1st October

Leaving out PS3 owners and XBL Silver Members is #NotMetal ! Oh well guess we just have to wait a teeny bit longer..

That's not true, i'm a gold member and can't get to the demo. Why ? Just because i'm european. That is so #notmetal. Really disappointed.

...

and my comment before that s***storm
apparently UK only gets the demo on 1 oct 2009, us can try the link but is not working for everyone

Ah, right you are then.

I wonder if that's region blocked, though. In other words, having a US account wouldn't make any difference anyway.

no don't think so because i made myself a US live account with the trial gold you get and downloaded the demo, but definitely the shortest demo i think known to man.
 
In Uk now and just bought an Elite!
Paid £250 for elite, godfather 2, fifa 10, street fighter 4, lord of the rings bfme2 and star wars: force unleashed...
