Microsoft Ready to Plug Xbox Into Internet | |

| Time: 12:13 EST/17:13 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

First Microsoft bet big on the Internet. Then it wagered on video games. Now, the software giant is going double-or-nothing on a combination of the two -- one it hopes will ultimately pay off in spades. On Friday Microsoft launches Xbox Live, an online gaming service with global aspirations that is part of the company's five-year, $2-billion strategy to make its video game console the center of a networked home entertainment system. "We're really taking a crawl-walk-run approach to this," J. Allard, general manager of the Xbox at Microsoft, told Reuters. | ||

| My gamertag is tcrichard. I only have the demo games, though. I'm hoping to get Ghost Recon and Mech Assault, soon. And of course Splinter Cell. |

Oh boy it really is that good!!! I bought MechWarrior, Unreal, Ghost Recon, and NFL Fever 2003...all of which I bought for this launch.
Unreal seems to be an easy start...but gets a bit boring after everybody jumping around. Same with Mech, but I might grow inot it. I anticipate i will enjoy the team play and realism more of Ghost Recon...the thinking man's Unreal, no spawning back to life here. Humor (Gamertag: Humor) |

| I'm going tonight to rent Mech Assault and Ghost Recon. I got a rent-one-rent-another-free coupon in OXM :D. Actually, I got two! |

| #9 JVM I am doing the exact same thing! Trading in Unreal for Ghost Recon. Unreal does not come close to Halo. I did not have fun playing it and there is no split screen, what is up with that? |

| Got Unreal earlier today. I would agree with the other comments on the board. It is challenging. I've played [embarrassed to say this] 4 hours today and I've got the hang of it now. I finally got decent at aiming around the 3 hour mark. Once that "clicked", the game got alot more fun. |
