    Default XBOX LIVE

    So when I start getting some money now that I am working again I am going to buy Forza 2, a wheel and pedal set, and the wireless thingy for my 360. What else do I need. I have a wireless router for my laptop I am guessing I just tap into that. Does it slow down my internet connection when someone else is using it? What all do I need to know to get best out of my gaming experience.....and my money? Should I move my Xbox closer to my modem and say fuck the wireless connection?

    I have high speed DSL. I guess it is pretty fast, my computer is so fucked up I can't tell. I mean pages load instantly so I guess I should be ok. What about the water coolers? I know the intercoolers will fuck your shit up but I have not heard much about the water coolers. I dont want to buy three of these fucking things like my PS2. One of my buddies brothers writes reviews for a gaming website and he is on his second 360.

    no i dont use wireless, its proven that the further away you are from the signal the slower the connection is. IE not as good for games.

    but if you are gonna be directly next to the antenna then whats the point in paying for wireless when you get free cables anyways?
