I have one of the first xbox that was launched from the retailers it was the core model, i finally got a modem and cable internet and wire connection to go online. I signed up for x box live, but im a cheapskate and have the free 1 month trail of x box live gold so i am trying to take full advantage of the time i have for it. However i try to play ppl online but as soon as i try to the connection keeps dropping on me. I have a PS3 and it hasn't dropped on me yet with the wire connection(reason y i mention that because if the connection is good on my P3 it should have the same quality on the x box). Plus I pay 80 bucks a month for internet and my stuff is top notch. I was wondering is it because i have one of the first core x-box, or because im not a full user of x-box live i really need to know because instead of dominating one realm of gamers, im want to dominate all, neways thanx for any info u give me.
