Bought the lot. Extra controller, Live subscription, Forza 2, COD4 and got some crappy games free.

Told myself not to play with it until Christmas Day, which will be hard as anything! Anyone going to be about on the 25th to race/shoot in the face? biggrin

No doubt I'll be playing Christmas day. I'd imagine there'd be lots of people on what with the day off & that.

Surely it would be careless and indeed reckless not to test the console before the big day?

Good plan...

So I reckon I'll leave it 'till the day!

Might I suggest you sort out your online credit before xmas so you can just plug in enter the code and play. otherwise you'll be playing with yourself (again) and not with the PH batallion.

Oh... I thought the free Live (silver) would allow me to just go online and then register the subscription (free one) through the xbox itself... or is that not how it works?

The bloke that told me in the computer shop looked like the comic store owner from the Simpsons, so I automatically assumed he would be geeky enough to know scratchchin

On a new console you'll get a months free gold subscription.

Just remember when registering your xbox live account select "keep silver"

Urgh, not been on those sites. I've never purchased anything from the interwebnet, yet so don't know about this.

KingRichard, you might have noticed all the fighting talk on the COD4 thread, & you still want to wait a fortnight?
