will it be wise to play with a 56k modem dial up connection? i dont have any lag on messengers but then again not much data is being transferred...

Please excuse my ignorance...I am but a simple silver surfer...but will my grandchildren/great grandchildren be able to play online cricket games with PC users via their x-box console?

By that what do you mean, what your speed?

As far as I know, there have been no mention of X-Box users being cross compatible with Pc users Benauds Appreci. There are only a few games I know of where Ps2 and Pc users can play cross system, but this is not one of them.

hxcrocker, I would suggest that using a 56k dialup would not result in the best of experiences.

That won't work too well, the other sports game I've played online (Rugby league 2) required up and down stream speeds of 128k minimum.

No, Xbox users will not be able to play PC users.

If I understood correctly what you said, No, You cannot play on Silver. MS already stated that Gold membership is required for online play regardless of game. At least that's what I think is correct, never played on Xbox live you see.
Of course there's no cross-connect with PC feature available yet.

Ah well done Sid! Now I see what he was asking

Not PC as in the computer, but PC as in planetcricket!

No, he meant PC as in computer....

Sid has it completely wrong. I've no idea what he's on about Silver/Gold membership for as Benauds appreci never mentioned anything about that.

Kev has already given the correct answer anyway.

Actually I think Sid's interpretation of the question is correct.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Actually I think Sid's interpretation of the question is correct.

Why, when Benauds appreci never mentioned anything about silver membership of anything?

The question was simply "Can X-box users play against PC users". The rest of the post was just filler.

He says hes a Silver Surfer.

To me that means one of 2 things.

1: He has Xbox Silver Membership
2: He's an OAP who surfs the net.

I realise it doesn't happen often Andrew, so you may not be used to it, but I think you'll find you're wrong.

The fact that he said "simple silver surfer" I think means it must mean the simple silver account on X-box live. I did think he meant he was some simpleton silver haired fox though

The fact that he also refers to his grandchildren means it is the latter.

Either way, he's got answers to both questions
