Ok, thanks guys for the advise...

I am very new to this Xbox 360, been trying to dig more details, but is there anyone that can tell me what are the steps that I should do when i get my Xbox 360 for the very first time ?

This is my planned outline
- Get my Xbox 360 for the first time
- Direct connection to Broadband
- Get into Xbox Live
- Get a Gamertag / Profile ready
- Not subscribe to Gold membership yet (coz i wanna try out the functions and play offline first)

That's about it.... so is there anything i missed out or i've mistaken ? Please do advise.

After I register my Gamertag, can I come here to join the Live Gamers group ?

Thanks !

Not true. I registered my Gamertag on Xbox.com first, then transfered the Gamertag on my Xbox 360. When I transfered the Gamertag to my Xbox 360, I was prompted to fill in my address & phone number, and after that I was given free 1-month Gold membership.

True for me though. No such option was prompted. Maybe you're special.

So I get RM 20 if I were to be less honest?

Bangang punya Microsoft. Nah, I enjoyed my free trial on another account for a month, so yeah...
