Anyone try gamespy, my friend told me about it and said that its just like live but its free and there arnt as many games. I might try it but I will need to get another Ethernet card first, so if anyone has tried it let me kno

You can also try XLink. You can play against other XBOX, PS2, and Gamecube users - just no downloadable content. You can also use your XBOX headset.

hmm… sounds good, Does it cost anything :think:

Nope, completely free :D

NICE. Thanks man 😊V

NICE. Thanks man 😊V

😢  no halo… oh well, i guess i will use gamespy for that.

theres also xbconnect which is also free.

No Halo? I’ve played Halo on XLink before.

im figuring out how to do this..i will update you when i get it

nice, thanks :D

I hate gamespy. That bastard program can suck it hard.

why? I havent tried it yet so I wouldnt know

I just don’t like it when I try to update my game with a patch, Gamespy comes up and directs to me towards a site where I have to pay to download it. Why would I do that when the game comes with an automatic patch installer which downloads directly from their website? It’s just irritating. I don’t need a program to show me what games I have so I can pick which one to play either.  It finds servers for your games too but the games come with this feature. I guess it’s trying to consolidate your games so you can switch between them but on a pc this isn’t necessary. For an XBOX, yeah you need that but not for a PC.

Andru, do you have the link for that?  I tried looking for it online and had no luck.

yea me too, the only thing I found was this: http://www.xboxlink.co.uk/
but is that for the US too?

Update: I just got halo 2 and I needed to play online, but didn’t want to pay for it. I found a nice program called XBConnect. It cost nothing and all you have to do is download the program and make an ID, then your ready to go, tons of halo and halo 2 games on it all the time. Anyone thats interested should check it out, its a lot of fun.

My ID is Necro55

Anyone have the xlink for the GameCube link?

the main site is http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ You can download there program and it works with any console, and if you have a modded xbox(not that anyone does) you can get it on xbox media center, so you dont have to go thru your computer.

just signed up for xbox connect, my gamertag or whatever yo wanna call it is D34tHbLoOMz

now I just have to find my router :D

oh and can you use xbox live headsets on there?

[quote author=“mig”]oh and can you use xbox live headsets on there?

You can use your head set if the game allows it through system link. Xlink does allow headsets as far as I know. Xbconnect? I don’t know.

Yea, XBconnect allows headsets, as long as it goes thru system link and the game has the option of using headsets, then it has to have it.

ok thanks
