If I buy one of those mobile internet USB pen stick things will I be able to use it for xbox live? and if I can how would it work

I am looking at one which has unlimited usage and a 5mb connection speed

Die_Bones

This will not work. The xbox 360 checks that the wireless internet access to see if you are connected via a BRIDGE. If you connect it to a laptop and share your connectiong in the laptop that will work but be warned the speed may be slower than you think.

What... happens when it updates? When it logs onto Live will it just take over? I ask because this will be the first update i have encountered aside from ones triggered by games.Bruce_McGivern

When you sign into Live you will be prompted for an update sorta like Windows Automatic updates.

Usually when someone says the "The Week of May 7" it means starting on that day and it may not be for everyone at the same time however no one has recieved the update.  MS needs to be more specific and say "Starting The Week of May 7 Asia continent will get the update first followed by Europe then the Americas."

Most of the problems have been fixed and they were not heat related either.  If you just place the console in a well ventilated place you will be fine but if you still think it gets hot then place a fan beside it to blow more air into the console.  Those cooling kits are garbage they offer no improvement whatsoever.  Your better off without one.

There is no shotgun glitch... its "host advantage" which basically means he will never lagg because he is hosting the game and since you are connected to the host over the internet you will always experience a slight delay say 1 or 2 sec.  It has nothing to do with "SHOTGUN ADVANTAGE" or my favourite "HOST POWERS" .   If you know something about networking than you should have an idea of what happens everytime you play XBL.

nope. think about it, bill gates has said that hd-dvd and bluray are both the last of a dying breed, that digital distribution is the next wave. why would they jump into a dying market two years later? if bluray were to win, which is doubtful, it would be years from now. years from now the xbox 720 or what ever will be out, and bill gates is planning for disks to be obsolete. he is planning on cutting out the middle man.rdo

Ya... Bill Gates says a lot of things.  Probably half of the things he says come true while the others get thrown out the window like the time he said "We will never make a 32-bit operating system, but I'll always love IBM"or "640K ought to be enough for anybody".  Never take any CEOs word as is because they always change it.

You can easily see the serial number on it.  Whether that receipt is legit or not I dont know but he does have the real console in his hand which you can see in the ebay auction.  As to why you would question whether it is fake or not based on a receipt or why you would pay close atten to it is beyond me.
