1 vs 100 lauched on XBOX live on 10th July 2009. I have now played 2 live games online but have yet to actually hear the live host.
I hear him right at the start but then I get a low bandwith message come up and dont hear anymore.
My line is 4mb down and 756KB upload, surely thats enough.
Anyone else heard him? Everyone I have spoken to has never heard him during the game.
Cmon Microsoft sort it out!!!!!! I know its beta but the game is crap without the live host being there. The game just have massive long pauses without.
I recently needed to renew my Xbox Live Membership. Microsoft charge £40 for a year so I was very keen to try and save some money.
I looked on ebay and found a seller for £27.99. However looking at the bottom of his auction there was a link for his website. I went there and he was selling a years membership for only £25.99. I took a punt and paid via paypal. About 2hrs later I received an email from them with the code. They send you a scanned image of the code. All entered on xbox live and all works. Not too bad a saving.
The website I got it from was http://cheapxboxlivecodes.com/
Would deffo recommend them.

I’ve been able to stream movies etc to my Xbox for a while now using Vista Home Premium and Windows Media Player 11. However the other day I decided to install VMware Workstation 6.5 on my laptop. Streaming then stopped working. Whenever I went into “configure sharing” in media player. I was presented with the following error message :
Media sharing is currently disabled, either because the sharing service is not running or your firewall settings have changed. To restart sharing, you must first confirm your sharing settings.

I tried a couple of things to get streaming to work, all resulted in no joy. Eventually I found 2 ways of getting it to work.
1) In Network and Sharing Center simply change the unidentified network to private. However when you next reboot it goes back to its prior state. This is less than ideal.
2) Disable the 2 VMware NICs. This is the option I took. Since I only use Bridged networking in my VM’s there is no impact. If you use NAT or host then this is not an option for you.
If anyone know any permanent way to make the vmware network private permanently then please let me know.
The new Xbox Live avatars are great. Some of them are very accurate to how they look. I have posted some of my best ones below :-

Except Rob aint ginger, sort it out!!
