Xbox Live

[Sharkie 187]

Hi

I have had my XB360 for quite a few years now. Never really bothered with online gaming and Live. I don't have a ADSL connection, but I heard that you can use your 3G modem to connect to Live. How true can this be.
Is there any threads, forums, links you guys maybe have that I can look at, and start the process from new?

I tried years ago, and managed to get a connection(Don't ask me how) but I downloaded this small game in the Market place.

If this can be done, I will buy me Live Points somma from IC, i see they stock the vouchers.

Thnx

I use my 8ta 3G to connect to XBL without any hassles.
You can also check the following forum: http://www.xbox-360.co.za/forum/
There are a few helpful and smart guys there that can assist as well.

I buy my Live points from http://www.evopoints.co.za/, it's cheaper than buying the physical vouchers.

I agree that you can go to the forum as linked above, there are quite a few guys gaming on 3G.

Here is a link to a thread discussing it. http://www.xbox-360.co.za/forum/showthread.php?t=91835

I usually use MSPoints, but they've started becoming more expensive recently. Delivery is immediate though - is that the case for Evopoints as well?

I set up ICS before on XP because I had a USB ADSL modem, and while it worked, it just wasn't worth the hassle. If ADSL isn't an option, then try and get hold of a 3G router. You'll be making things a lot easier for yourself - not just with the Xbox, but other people who want to access the internet from their devices as well.

Yeah something like that would work, just need to make sure that you get something with Ethernet ports.

If you pay with a CC, then yes it's instant.
