A switch works with anything...Its a router....but it doesn't route...you technically can't share an internet connection with it, just connect computers to computers...or 360s to 360s

A switch works with anything...Its a router....but it doesn't route...you technically can't share an internet connection with it, just connect computers to computers...or 360s to 360s
right, so how would you end up (in a best case senario) to hook up 32 360s together? just multiple routers (or switches)? or some kind of massive switch?Zitat:

In the best case senario you don't need it if the 360's have WiFi
assuming they dont, because i dont think they doZitat:
Zitat von z357x
then yeah, I'm guessing they don't also though....
Anybody here able to confirm if the 360 has WiFi lan or not?
Since Everyone is off topic im moving this and taking it off a sticky . Ill make another one for the original plan!!!!!
I think a better question is how many people are in michigan and more importantly troy/sterling heights/rochester and whatever... maybe the location should change to be more central.
I only need to walk about 1 mile to get to Sterling Hights from my house. I'm on the border right where K-mart and Kroger are.I'm on Long Lake and Rochester Rd. It's not lke this is Royal Oak, Oak Park, Hazel Park, Romeo, or even Detroit.
X360 does not support wi-fi.Zitat:
Zitat von Hexagram
I thought it was Asia mart that is on Long lake and Rochester... or is that Square lake? K-Mart and Kroger are on... ummm.. I don't remember, I lived on Rochester and Wattels and went to Troy High (so I spent most of my time on the west side of the city), I'd assume you went to Athens. Anyway, Hex is some where near 15 mile and somthing.... I forget exactly.Zitat:

Ya, that a Asia Mart and that salon where i get my hair done,lol, was talking about where the border with Sterling Hts. was and my area, From my house you go to long lake and just go past the 7 11, the other way from asia mart, go past taco bell and your in Sterling Hts. And I'm going to Athens right now. I'm right in the sub div. Athens is in. Right behind athens is my house.Zitat:

Ah, alright. I think with the lack of WiFi Hex's Lan Party should be doable on a smaller scale (Given there are more than the three ::four?:: of us and me with no 360 :P). On a side note it must be nice ot live within a mile of your school, I lived 4 miles from Troy High and that was just annoying if I needed to walk for some reason.Zitat:

I wonder where Magneto lives and if he's intrested.
Somehow i'm still tardy, and i failed my scinece test today, I'm still passing somehow, I have a router we can use, so we can have 4 xboxs hocked up together.Zitat:
Zitat von z357x
Well with Hex's 8 port swich and your router that makes 10 xBox's... which is very reasonable for a small LAN
We can always bring our xboxs, just xbox and play halo or pgr. Plus i might get a new router in 2 weeks since i hate my netgear one so bad. Ironically i'm in a cisco class in school.Zitat:
Zitat von z357x
If this is hapenign and if I were comign I would just bring the xBox, since I don't plan on getting a 360 at launch (I'm going to be spending all my money before that on other things)
I hope all works with xbox 360 and xbox, with the same game since my xbox might not make it. I think most ppl have seen the pics of my box. That is the real reason i need a xbox 360, Even if PGR3 and PDZ suck, at least my xbox will work normal, right now i can't play over half of the xbox games.Zitat:
Zitat von z357x
yeah, lets stick with 8, router stacking slows **** down alot...
I have 3 ethernet cables....one 200ft cable, then two shorter ones...
I Don't know if I'll be able to get rent-a-center to sponser this small of an event...
Hell if its just four of us, we could do it in my basement...
I have a 47 Inch Sony Wega Hidef...
27 Inch Sony Wega Hidef
10 Inch tv from my kitchen
17 Inch LCD Monitor
17 Inch LCD (professional grade) Monitor...
Thats enough for five xboxes, but the kitchen tv sucks ****...
So Far we haev
4? 360's and their cords
4? TV's
5? Controllers (I'm getting 2)
1 8 Port High Speed Switch
3 Ethernet Cables
more then enough chairs
what game would we play?
PDZ? PGR3? Quake 4?

I read the rules for that www.every10minutes.com contest, im sure most people didn't. Well it says that you can write to them and get a free Target Sticker. Each Target Sticker has three game codes on it. So i sent them about 100 envelopes requesting the game codes. Its cheaper than buying 300 bottles of soda (300 X $1.25 = $375.00). Because i'm just paying for postage (200 envelopes X 200 Stamps = $74.00).
Yesterday they came back in the mail. See...now i just have to freakin enter all of these game codes. :PC:

So whats the point in this? Is this to try to win a free 360? If so send me more info ill send 100 as well.
Ok went to the site you mentioned and its exactly that. Mind sending me the address and ill start on some envelopes.
The address is on the website (on the bottom of the page is a link to the Rules).
Send a self addressed,stamped envelope & a hand written request to:
"Every 10 Minutes" Target Sticker Request
po box 4385
young america, mn 55558
They must be postmarked by 10/15/05, to be recieved by 10/17/05...so i suggest you send it out no later than Wednesday morning.
Heh thats awesome. I really hope you win. Good Luck!
Wow, sounds like it took a while to write out all those envelopes. I wouldn't have the patience for that.
If he wins though. He saved a bunch on an x360.
that's a lot of time & effort. what if you don't win? you wasted $74 that could've been put down as a deposit for a 360. well, good luck if you pull it off.
i wanna see you NOT get it XD
I had the envelopes printed from off the computer. I only wrote the request on small strips of paper. one sentence ("please send me the target sticker.").Zitat:

I was doing this to try and get a second xbox360, i already preordered mine at the local EB (where i'm #15 on the list). If i win this xbox would be on ebay a few days after launch. I'd definitely make a profit.
i have a Friends who uncle work for m$ and say he can sell me a 360 for 300 with one game and a 20 GB hd but i think he is ripping me off he showed me someone who paid him 330 and got it but i think he is lieing too but he could be telling me the truth and he say i could get by this monday (witch makes me think he is lieing) so should i do it or not
if you're going to make the transaction in person, then go for it.
if you're not then i say steer clear. if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
but then again why would you're friend's uncle rip you off
Don't do it, you can't get it before I do. :evil:
Tell him you want to see it running a game on your t.v. before you give him the money. If he works for Microsoft I don't doubt that he can get it for you, since they are sending the demo kiosks now or soon. But I doubt he can get the games, according to J Allard none have passed certification yet (correct me if I'm wrong).
Simple, if you can get one, just dont give him anything until you see the unit in his hand. No unit, no cash, its as simple as that.
dude its not worth it, he is lieing!
Heh, that's kinda what i'm doing. Just that since I have no god-damn money, I have to keep buying Mountain Dews (which increases your sperm count, so i've heard) but thanks for that info. I better get one, I still want a DS.
Brilliant idea sir.
Best of luck to you!
Nearly pissed myself laughing at the Thugonomics thing. Lawlz!!
Good luck. I actually entered a few points here and there, but I knew I would never win, plus I already have mine reserved anyway. I'm #6 on the list at a local electronics store, but yeah, If I did win, I would just sell it anyway. Whats the fun in getting it in the mail, I like the experience of going into a store on day one and being seen at the counter plunking down a fat stack of hard earned cash for a system and a few games. Fun times... :icon_cool
Does anyone know when the australian release date is?
I'm considering in picking one of these up ;)
We have no official confirmation yet-just "early 2006". But I'm sure Microsoft will tell us the official release date before it's released. ;)
