hi just bought an xbox 360 60gb.after connecting up iam thinking i should use a hdmi lead will i go for a microsoft one or aftermarket one (antigrav)or not bother just use the lead that came with it.

i download films from axxo would i be able to play them by connecting the xbox to the pc via a usb cable or what other way can i do it?

how do i connect to microsoft live if my cable doesnt reach to the router is there a wireless thing i can buy?
any other tips to get the most out of it?
thanks

First thing to do is to get your xbox onto your network, if your cable doesnt reach, then buy a longer cable or wireless adapter if your router supports wireless), personally I would stick with a cable as its one less thing to sort out.

Once you have the xbox on your network you can stream video/audio/pics across onto your xbox, to do this you need windows media player, goto the library tab and select media sharing, there should now be a pic of an xbox and you need to allow this device. Once thats done you then need to add to your library the locations of the media you want to stream.

Once thats done go back to your xbox and select either video, music or pictures depending on what you to view/listen to, then select your computer and then the folder.

Jobs a good-en
