Re: Not just broadband
There are also several free programs that run on a pc networked with the xbox that will allow you to play multiplayer over the net. No need for xbox live. |

Second: Just WHAT were they thinking; putting those mini DVD drives in those things? Why not put a full blooded DVD with movie playback in the unit?
PS-2 and X-Box still require a "kit" to get online through your broadband.
The mini-CD thingy was an attempt to thwart piracy. Whether it was effective or the GC just sucked too bad to be worth pirates' time is anyone's guess, but I haven't seen any GC piracy going around.
The Xbox does not require a kit to get online, only a subscription; you can get it out of the box and hook it up to your DSL modem/router. The Xbox Live Kit you're thinking of only enhances the online experience by providing a headset with mic.
