View Full Version : Xbox Live/Xbconnect
I was wondering, if people on XBconnect, can connect to the same servers that can be seen on Xbox Live? ... I checked XBconnect, there wasn't as many Counter Strike servers up, ... as on Xbox Live, ... Why I ask Why?

no,
they dont play on the same server
if more people start using xbconnect
itll be alot better, better than xbox live
1) u can play back ups
2) its freeeeee
I think the main reasons people don't use Xbconnect would be, they never heard of it, ... and because its a bit more harder to use then Xbox Live. Xbox Live is also a bit more user friendly, ... but COME ON! ... You can play copies on Xbconnect COPIES!!! ...

yea true..
maybe
thats y we needa get the word out
only thing about xbconnect is u needa run it through ur pc meanin u needa hub/router or two network cards..
thats still cheaper than constantly havin to pay xbox live
not to mention deal with the microsoft attackin u issues
Sadly not as many people to play with.

If they make us pay, they'll make us pay for the software, which I'll just have to get a crack for :)

I don't think they EVER will make you pay for XBC, they have a 'Pro' version of it whic h is good but, its $15 and so, i think XBC will stay free. Plus, that is part of the reason why they made XBC so ppl could play xbox games w. out paying

yea i noe
but good things tend not always to last
and leon, if u say that crack dealy again.. ull get punished by someone.. im not sayin me cuz im not a moderator.. but watch it there, slick
Well its a little obvious, what we all talk about on this board, ... and its a little obvious, why we have mod-chips and gigantic hard-drives on our xboxs, ... ISN"T IT A LITTLE OBVIOUS?!
In other news, XBconnect can only get better ... If there was only a way to link your xbox directly to the cable modem and use XBconnect, without having to link it either into your pc or router. That almost turned me away from XBconnect, but then on the other hand, ... Its the only possible way to play halo online.

LeonC, just to let you know, if they make us pay for XBC then they will probably include a serial number w. each copy so, then you can't crack it.

If you can find one software thats uncrackable. I will be your online bitch forever on. Photoshop pro has a serial number, ... ever hear of serial gens? ... Not that any of us would ever do such a thing as steal software from hard working companies, Right Guys? ...

I know of Serial gens, never used them though, and plus, the serial gen would NOT work the serial would be checked against there "official" list and be found false. Thats why serial gens don't let you get online with games if you use them.

okay
yes we all know they exist
and no some people use mod chips for legit backuping purposes
dont go assuming
and stop this talk now
Pop Smith
10-03-2004, 17:01
ok. and your right, modchips were not created so people could illegal copy games. They are made so people can legally backup there games and keep the originals safe (Like how people can use AnyDVD and CloneDVD to LEGALLY backup a DVD movie that they own)

No, please clear things up for me Leon. I dare you.
Tyler!

I'm sure you've wasted all that time and money installed those mod-chips and hard-drives to legally backup your games.

Its Obvious that we're all here for the educational benefit. For the greater knowledge of man-kind! ...
In other news, where would the world be without pirates?
Without pirates there would be hundreds if not thousands developers of anti-piracy software jobless!
Not that we would ever do such a ghastly act known as piracy. We are just simple folks, with gigantic hard-drives and mod-chips.

Well Leon, its people like you that keep trying to push your envelope and make it seem to legal officials that we are just pretending to back up originals. Ive banned many people like you and have had no regrets doing so. I just dont understand why people like you wish to pollute our forums with "hint, hint" garbage, that seems like your trying to pursuade people into piracy.
I dont believe in piracy, I strictly believe in backing up your original game. We have that right.
I want you to explain yourself, if you sound sincere Ill leave you alone. If you make another post about "where would we be without pirates" Ill ban you. If you do not respond within 2 days, Ill ban you (just in case).
Tyler!

Okay you are right, I love you, and I shall never bring it up again.
I just hope you really mean what you said about not believing in piracy. You're a good guy, I agree with you, and I love this forum :)

Yah, using a serial on a program that is mandatory to connect online, very good idea.
I dare you to get a crack for the pro version, then tell us all what happens:rolleyes:
Besides, it's free anyways, and most of the pro features are inlcuded for free in v4 (like skins).
btw, xbconnect and live are very different.
Xbconnect and Live basically do exactly the same thing, ... They let you play against others online.

12-03-2004, 13:05
yea but xbox live is through microsoft and from the xbox direct to the internet
xbconnect is through a free company that u needa hook ur xbox up to a router/hub/extra network card, then connect to the internet via pc
but yea i guess... i mean they both allow online playing.. if thats what u mean
Yeah, I ment their entire purpose is to link gamers to other gamers (To play online) ... Xbconnect is a bit harder to use, and VERY few people even know about it. Hopefully that will change as soon as possible :)
dang, your hard-drive is huge, ...
AXmichigan
12-03-2004, 20:50
spread the word!
hehe
yea... but which hdd u referrin to?
Both, ... I cheaped out went with a 120gb, didn't feel like waiting for next pay-check to get a 200gb.
I may upgrade though.
I've been trying to get my friends to play on xbconnect, they don't want to leave Xbox Live, ... arg.
AXmichigan
13-03-2004, 12:37
tell them that they can enjoy to keep paying for their xbox live
yea i hadda 120 gig.. i upgraded to a 250 gig cuz its the biggest size thatll fit on the f drive alone
my 120's still here for whenver i i sell someone a modded xbox..
my 250's very niice though.. i suggest for anyone whos willin to fork out the lil much more, to get it
The bought the headset starter, at the same time they bought their xbox, ... and the starter comes with a year of xbox live. So yeah ... they don't want to leave it for me :( ...
I'm probably going to upgrade my hd soon.
Pop Smith
13-03-2004, 18:07
They might (and probably will) leave Live once there year expires.
what size hdd are you upgrading 2? A 250 :D
AXmichigan
13-03-2004, 18:23
hehe
yea 250 is real niice
I'm really not sure, it depends what my budget will be :)
It'll either be a 200 or 250gb hd.
AXmichigan
13-03-2004, 19:50
250 gig is the biggest u can get
probably ever
y not utilize that?
its only like 50 bucks more
Pop Smith
13-03-2004, 19:52
