Is the streamyx connection stable enough for continuous online gameplay? I've had a look around and there are quite a number of people who have complained about their lag times.

I actually have a m8 that plays WoW, and he had to resort to going to the cybercafe to use lease/corporate lines to play his WoW.

This poll is in the wrong subforum...obviously you're going to get more "I already have one" if you put it here...


The objective of my post poll was to see how many xbox 360 fans are out here, cause i'm quite physc'd about the level of enthusiasm that everyone has been showing here.

Rock on... thumbup.gif

Well most of us have had 3+ hours or more sessions online, so barring any unfortunate incidents (like the Taiwanese earthquake) I would say it's usable with some bits of lag here and there.

Lag is compensatable, meaning if u shoot , u must shoot ahead of the target if necessary.

But being a host definately gives u the uppperhand especially in games like GoW.

I'm not sure about shooting ahead...but then again i suppose you could opt for the 2Mb streamyx line if need be.

I'm just venting.....i have...had a 360 but it died on me 3 months ago and i have yet to send it to singapore to get it fixed (before you say anything, i got mine in the UK and no supplier is willing to help me out here) so i'm getting a m8 to take it down nxt week.

I was just wondering where you guys find the time to game so often.....i work 10-11 hour days every day and its depressing that i can't find the time to game like i used to....... ne one else want to play the 360 sooo bad (ala me) but can't for any reason....please share your grief biggrin.gif

360 virus..

3) Two weeks later.. I took MC, bought it..and took another MC the nxt day to play GoW
4) Two weeks later.. pestered i'Vn to buy it

I don't spend a lot of time playing though. Personal life catching up (or should I say, watching Heroes instead of Crackdown or GRAW2).
