GamerTag

This is the proposition:
add the gamertag in the profile of the members, because I think most of the members here have an Xbox and most of them have Xbox Live, so why not

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.

Sounds fine! But no major changes are going to be made until Abe Babe returns.

So, we must wait

Enlighten me, Xbox Live, do you need a credit card and shtuffs? Also, is it easy to set up? Also, what games can you play on it? Also is it lag-ridden?

you may buy stuff in the futur but at the moment everything is free.
It doesn't lag too often, it goes pretty good
and for the games go here:

I think it would be interesting to ask the members here what their online gaming names are, and what games they play online with...

Personally, I systemwide use one name for all my games online on all platforms...

Yes.

Yes. The hardest part I had was deciding on a name.
:

Well, there are a few games... with a few more coming out in the future. I suggest renting Unreal Championship, MechAssault, and MotoGP if you get Live... to see what you like. But definitely pick up Return to Castle Wolfenstien. The single player game is enough reason to buy it.
:

Depends. Most games tell you how the speed is in a server. However, with games like RTCW, there is either no lag at all, or so much lag that you can't even play.

I know Xavier already explained all of that, but I wanted to feel special. Zeruel is mega-pissed that Brute Force isn't on Live.

*curses Reece's fancy sig, as my PC doesn't like it*

Well I am back ... sure, it's a good suggestion, seeing there are many Xbox players on here. Mind you, Xbox Live doesn't even seem to be coming anywhere for us Australians, so we'll have empty fields in that area!

Do you guys think it should just be a field for the Xbox GamerTag, or should we make it a more generic online tag thing? I guess it would get too confusing if it were generic though, as some people use different names for different online games.

Anyway, it be their now.

I'm thinking about getting XBOX live, isn't the first year free? I think I heard that somewhere. Can you change your name if you don't like it later in life?

The thing is, we can. But, we need a broadband connection, and this I cannot do. Unless, I get a sattelite improt from America or somewhere, but it isn't worth the trouble! I'll wait till it come to my humble old country. :P
