I was thinking that maybe with the ping being at that state and the upload being higher than the download it was perhaps a hardware failure on the part of the router? I'm wondering if they class optimal performance as being able to use netflix and download updates without it being a major pain in the arse rather than needing that much to play a game of fifa..?

I couldn't figure out how having the xbox connected could take the ping up by 3 or 4 hundred neither, not really sure how that would affect it??

I have had my xbox now for a couple of weeks and I have to say I am really quite impressed with integration with my cable box, music system and tv. I persevered with windows media centre and extenders in the past and it seems like Microsoft have learned a lot from those attempts. It would be nice to control PVR for my cable box without using smart glass, but smart glass does work well for it. Seems a shame you can't have the smart glass remote options on split screen, that couldn't be hard to do for them.

I've been playing Dark Dreams Don't Die today and it's incredibly weird but I've really enjoyed it. The Kinect is great when using it too. I've done the prologue and the first episode so far.

Installed this last night. Going to give it a crack tonight.

Also going to try the game out! Wheeeeeey!

Have you got the kinect? Voice command trumps smartglass controls for me.

Damn that looks pretty good, able to slot a HD into it as well would be very handy!

yeah, kinect is great but doesn't do PVR functions of my cable box unless I'm missing something. Most of the time I use xbox remote or kinect but switch to smartglass for recording

Hmm nice find, but how is 3 extra usb slots and the hard drive powered? Off the one side USB port or a separate power supply?

See I don't have kids, I'd just look like a crazy person. Plus it's likely to have a severe lack of rock/metal haha

I've given up on it for now, game is just a mess!

Tried playing Halo Anniversary last night with a friend and couldn't even start a Campaign mission without connection losses.

Bar GTA V keeping me mildly amused for 5 minutes, I'm still struggling to see the worth of the console and tempted to sell it again

Oh, I had no idea the co op campaign was affected

Was going to blast though that with a mate at the weekend.

It's been months though, it's pathetic.

The beta is just as bad for team games.
