xbox live:
I have a brand new Xbox 360 elite.
it passed all the xbox live tests
- DO i get any trial time on xbox live?
- when i go to xbxo live i go into a few pages and once i enter my email address and password it says theres a problem and wont go any further.
- how hard is it to connect my xp laptop SP2 to my xbox? any help or tips, do i need use my usb dongle?
- because i have played the 360 already when i started to sign in on live, it says it would overright my game tag, would my 30 odd game point go aswell?
- If i can stream then theres no need but how do i put music on the xbox?
FORZA

- DO i get any trial time on xbox live?
Yes, 48h if you sign up via the xbox (in account management, I believe)
- when i go to xbxo live i go into a few pages and once i enter my email address and password it says theres a problem and wont go any further.
Under what blade/page?
- how hard is it to connect my xp laptop SP2 to my xbox? any help or tips, do i need use my usb dongle?
Depends what you want to do - If it's connection sharing, there are instrructions everywhere. If it's media sharing, then you have to do it via a router, I believe (using media player library sharing)
- because i have played the 360 already when i started to sign in on live, it says it would overright my game tag, would my 30 odd game point go aswell?
No, those points will go, IIRC.
- If i can stream then theres no need but how do i put music on the xbox?
You can stream (media player on the pc, under options/sharing, you should see your 360 on the network)
FORZA
- I have the limited edition, how do i claim my 3 new cars?
Enter the scratchcard number under account management on xbl, they'll then dl next time you pop forza in.

Wow - some great choices there.
BTW, there's a thread on here with everyones gamertags. Add a bunch if you want regular games - esp COD4 (see that fight club thread).
