I planning on buying a xbox360 within the next few weeks and id like to know some questions about the console.


If i buy an American xbox live card of f the internet, will i be able to use it in Australia?

Do i necessarily need xbox live membership to play online or can i play without it?

I know that halo is an xbox exclusive, but are there any other good exclusives for xbox?

Backwards compatibility?


thanks.

1. I believe that the Xbox live cards are universal, I'm not 100% sure.

2. I'm not sure how stable it is or what it's limitations are, but you can look into this yourself.

3. In my personal opinion, Halo 3 is a generic first person shooter with nothing special about it. But to answer your question, yes.

4. Here you can find a list of games that are approved thus far to be backwards compatible.

2. You need to have Xbox Live Gold membership to play online. If you only have Silver (free), you still get a friends list, gamerscore, pretty much everything except for actual online play. I think 360's come with 1 month free Gold service.

3. Forza Motorsport and Project Gotham Racing series are exclusive if your into racing games. Then there's Gears of War (awesome).

1. I believe it would work... As the cards just have a code you enter in, I don't see why they'd need to be region coded. Not 100% sure about it though, just a guess.

2. Well... Yes and no. To keep playing with a single account, you need to pay for Xbox live. However, I've heard that you could just erase your old account and create a new one as soon as the free 30-day trial period goes out on your old account. Of course this means that you loose your friends list, gamerscore, etc.

3. Yes, a bunch of good games are exclusive to Xbox at the moment. A list of 360 exclusives. Probably not all of them (Dead Rising?) and I don't know up-to-date that list is.

4. Backwards compatibility is only for some titles. You can probably find a list by googling it.
