Today I connnected the Xbox Live! camera which my sweet girlfriend Erica gave me for X-mas. The first thing after configuring the camera I did is to do a Video conferencing with her, which was very smooth to say the least. Then I launched Rainbow Six Vegas and created my own character with my face. The results were very very good even it being the first of its kind for a console, only the hair part was a bit unrealistic but that doesn't matter alot (it matters to me in real life :) )

I played some online multiplayer matches and it was tactical, real and therefore awesome.

Next week will see major changes in our houehold network. For starters we r dumping AT&T cable for US's Residential fastest broad, Verizon FIOS fiber optic broadband with insane speeds. Then I setup a wireless network with D-Link Router 802.101n. Notice its N, its a much more better version than the g version which is used everywhere including by PS3 and 360. The N revision provides up to 3 times the range and 5 times the data transfers for fluid multiple HD streams. Though its Pre-n, as the n specifications will be finalised this year. As soon as it is finalised, I just upgrade my firmware to get a full fledged 802.101n network.

Then I will setup my PC to stream XP content to 360 via wireless as usual. In otherwords, I will be throwing a hell of cable next week, so cable recycle guys....get ready.
