...unfortunately still waiting for Forza2 (my brother is useless - long story) - anyway; What do I need to do??

I've realised I need a wireless adapter thingy as a cable option just wont work in our house... but what of the extended guarantee and such??

Will get Xbox live sorted when I get forza and hope to get another PH league going asap. Just wish to know what else I need sorting right now.

Thanks all, look forward to racing with you sometime soon. biggrin

Looks like the problem was having it on the carpet. I've moved it on top of the box it came in and it now works fine. Not ideal but it will do.

It's a bit like playing gears of war on deathmatch - there is no respawn.

They do it, but it wasn't the deal I went for.
They also do Elite, Wireless adapter & 3mths LIVE Gold membership for £229.99.
But that deal with the 3 games most definitely is real! thumbup
The guy in the Bournemouth store was a really nice bloke as well and helped me work out which deal was best for me! thumbup

Well, true to my word I just bought mine last night!
Unfortunately I didn't see an option for delivering to an address different than the billing address so its going to be delivered to my parents house, unless they check their emails and do a good job of customer service. Heres hoping!
Its good because my housemate has just sold his 20gb 360 so now I get to play and feel superior to him!
I may ring them up just in case.

Woohoo 360 here I come.

It seems that you can't change the address from the billing address for products over a certain value. Oh well.

But there are people there, and germs and everything!
