    Default Xbox online from MS possibly by E3?

    Hey all,

    Was just checking out info on the Xbox web site and ran across this article discussing the current status of online play from Microsoft for the Xbox.

    Looks as though they may be getting closer to having their online service up and running. No info on pricing or such, looks as though they are saving all that info for E3.

    Posted yesterday? Damn! Leftovers again!!

    Hehe, seriously though, I must have missed it.

    I'm thinking more along the lines of ty818 though, most likely
    late May or June before we really see any online action from MS.

    I'm checking tomorrow with my cable modem provider about
    upgrading my online service. They are saying for ten bucks
    extra a month they will upgrade my service and guarantee
    my bandwith to be 384KB upload speed and I believe 768KB
    download speeds just to be ready for when it does happen.

    Bring on Unreal Championship!!!

    Yeah, looks like they are saving all the juicy stuff for E3.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they actually put off the online
    system for another couple of months to allow more online
    tittles to be ready for the launch.

    What I'm really interested in is how are they going to
    get NTSC and PAL systems to synch together well enough
    to allow players from all over the globe to play together.
