*looks at sig*

you damn right ;)

I doubt that Halo 2 will end up not being worth it.

hmm "games"

does that mean demos? cause I sure hope not.

[gekko]

Yes, the demos.

And this isn't too bad. Shouldn't be considering we're paying for a P2P network. But cheap enough where I can keep my account after the first year, when I'm not sure if I'll be around.

I sure wouldn't want to be paying for a Hunter's Licence too, you know. That would be three freaking Internet fees a month. One for Internet, one for XBL, and one for PSO.

Hmm, I plugged in the ethernet that usually goes into my Gamecube into my Xbox the other day, and it installed Xbox Live on my Xbox, after I tried to download levels on Splinter Cell.. I was close to subscribing. But, nah. Might as well wait for Halo 2 because of funds. Probably get the Starters kit and the Karaoke package (looks fun :D) for Christmas. :D
