Fox You Forest Posted 8 October 2008 Share Posted 8 October 2008 How could I forget that Fable II isn't far off?I should be ashamed. That's a joke right? The first one took me about 3 days to finish, It was piss poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bowman Posted 9 October 2008 Share Posted 9 October 2008 No. Fable is an absolutely brilliant game. Indeed, Fable kept me entertained for ages. Can't wait for Fable with shotguns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grth2004 Posted 9 October 2008 Share Posted 9 October 2008 Is your PC and Xbox on a network? Can you access the same internet connection on both? no at the moment there both in the spare room and i unplug the cable from my modem to my pc or xbox wich ever one im using , its a pain in the ass and im looking at linking them up whith a router i think , am i right in thinking the router can plug both my pc and xbox into the same modem. Also i would love to be able to take my xbox downstairs and plug into my big new tv (when the mrs is out because shes allways watching bloody crap tv on it ) and be able to go online and also if i could stream films fom my pc upstairs to my tv downstairs that would be amazing, i have no router or wireless equipment at the moment but i have been looking on ebay for some bits, ohh and im on virgin cable.

Joe. Posted 9 October 2008 Share Posted 9 October 2008 I'm tempted by Fable to be honest. I remember being very tempted by the first one on Xbox but decided against it. Geordie, talk me into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave me a new modem & a Netgear wireless for no charge. the router has 4 ports on the back so you can have a pc, xbox & other bits attached. You'll just need to get a wireless xbox thingy & yer chuffing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the Xbox on line downstairs and to stream music and videos you will need to connect the xbox to the router. You can do this in three ways 1) always the best way and that is to wire it direct to the router but that means a cable from upstairs to down. Sometimes its easy, sometimes you cant. 2) the next is to connect wirelessly. Most routers are wireless. You will need the wireless add-on to the xbox unless you have an elite 3) the last option is to use homeplugs. These use your house's electrical cable as network wiring. These will only work if you have an earth. You will need two. One connected to the router the other to the xbox. You will need the 85mbps versions at least to stream videos. I use these well in our house. Its about £60 for two develo blue plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Posted 11 October 2008 Share Posted 11 October 2008 Microsoft seem to be really going for the throat with 360 sales, just watching X-Factor i've seen about five 360 ad's tonight. It's a good ploy, with the update out on the 19th November, and whats going on with the PS3's home? Very clever from Microsoft, lowering the price aswel, plus some excellent titles coming up in the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
