XBOX Friends is very clever and you can use it in two ways either just use their website to view who is online in which game or become a watcher!

To view who is playing which game just goto Http://www.XBOXfriends.com click onto game search and find the game you are looking for lets say you wanted to look for Call Of Duty: Finest Hour just look htrough the list till you find it an dclick the link which will take you to http://www.xboxfriends.com/ViewGame.aspx?id=200 The list at the top is who is currently online and the list at the bottom shows who was online and when they last played.

To be a watcher again goto the main website and download the software, its a little like MSN Messenger so its quite easy to use.

Now if you don’t see your name on a game list and you know you have been playing it, well thats because you have to be on the friends list of a watcher otherwise XBOX Friends has no way of tracking your actions.

PLEASE NOTE: XBOX Friends and its software is in no way endorsed by Microfoft, see the XBOX Friends website for more information.

You have probably heard that you can play on-line with your XBOX but how and what do you need?

There are other types of starter kit available too that come with full versions of game slive Halo2 and these are priced from £49.99 to £59.99 ( Hava a look in places like Game for special offers)

One thing that goes not come with the kit is a Eithernet cable which yu will need to connect your XBOX to your modem or router, the official XBOX connection cable as thgey call it is priced at £9.99 but goto Http://www.Ebuyer.com and you can pick on eup for as little as £1.99

The good news is that when the XBOX 360 comes out at the end of the year you will be able to use you standard XBOX Go Live kit with it, so you dont have to go and purchase another kit.
