Would someone be so kind as to explain to me what is needed to get online and play online games with the Xbox?

Do you have to sign up with a Gamespy account or something? Do you need to sign up with a special ISP or can you choose whatever broadband ISP you like?

Is it ADSL, Cable...???

Is the network all set up through Gamespy? So all you really need is a broadband connection? (ie: There is no 'special Xbox network'?)

Sorry about the 20 questions fellas, but thanks in advance!

Do you have to link the Xbox to my computer.(if so how?):confused: :confused:
