Maximus, this means that all summer long we can play games online. Which means long hours of playing through out the night and into the next day! With no interruptions! :)

Actually, the way it's going to work is this:

First, there are going to be two different types of games: It will either be: 1. A dedicated on-line game (a game that can only be played on-line), and 2: a game that will be on-line capable, but will also be able to be played while not on-line.

So, in the case with a game that is dedicated to on-line play only, all you have to do is plug in your broadband modem into the back of your XBox (not through your computer...just directly plug in the modem to the back of the XBox) and you will be immediately launched to the forum as soon as you put in the game!!

In the case of a game that is on-line capable but doesn't have to be played on-line, it will simply have a menu option to launch you (like there is a menu in every game) and then you will be immediately launched to the on-line forum!

Either way, it's going to be simple!! I can't wait!! :D
