Hi guys,

I wanna start playing online.

I know i must do something along the lines of allowing my router to NAT for the xbox to see the internet.

what else is required? Do you have to have an xbox live account to play online or are there local points that one can join to play....like to the good ol Quake servers :)
 
us or uk account if you want content.
 
I am also going to get a live account soon, I plugged my Xbox in and it was online instantly, I didn't have to config anything.

Well I don't have live yet, so yeah maybe there is some setup after that? but when I plugged my xbox in it detected my connection and downloaded a whole lot of updates and installed them.

that afaik could only mean that it was not really first hand, because the very first time you start up your xbox it must go through the initial setup which can be found in your dash where system settings is, but i could be wrong but that is exactly what my xbox did it had me going through some settings just after powering it up.

maybe it was just my box, just asked my friend and he said exactly the same as what you did :confused:

Hmm maybe there was some setup stuff, but not that I can remember. All I know is that it definitely has a net connection :p

Really keen to get Live up and going, do you play on Live Necuno? Is it worth the yearly fee?

Thanks, just a question, do you have to buy off that site or can you just buy off the xbox site? The reason I ask is that it would work out cheaper to buy direct from MS, Mspoints.co.za 12 month gold @ R420 and if you buy from MS its $49.99 which = R377 @ the current exchange rate.

Just a thought. :rolleyes:
 
unfortunately u can't buy straight from xbox live with an SA credit card... there are other international sites though that sell MS points... check one of the xbox sticky threads. Maybe u can save that way.
Oh and remember to buy points for the right region

Also check maximuscards.com. They are the cheapest.

And get a US account if you plan on buying XBLA stuff, their pointas are the cheapest too
 
This hw u do it.
1) Connect to net
2) Make a LIVE account with your country and postal address matching (eg: USA, 90210)
USA is cheapest so do that.
3) You then buy a 3 or 12 month code for xbox live gold - allows you to play online. Make sure its for USA!
4)DONT get it from xbox website- you will get banned with a SA CC!
Get the code from any online retailer.

Then come jam COD4 with us :)

Ok wait I read that to fast - Connect to net from my Xbox and create a account?

And then where do I buy the code, from that SA site? OR can I buy it from maximuscards.com? They have a 12 month for $42.95 :eek:

Pcs can you explain the process in depth, sorry I dont want to sound like a tard.

Do you sign up for an acc on your xbox? Then buy membership from a local site and put in that you are in the USA?
