Question
I actually have a couple questions but the main one is can i use a newwave 6Mb modem (it's broadband) to get online to update my new 360, i mainly want to update it to watch movies on my jumpdrive. and second of all when i set a wallpaper it saves it to my memory unit (I have the arcade version too) but it only gives me the option to move, copy or delete it so whats up with that. and is it possible to store music, pics or videos from my jumpdrive to a hard drive when i get one?

Answer
Hi Cody,

(1) Yes, you should be able to use that modem. Just hook up an ethernet cable between the 360 and the modem.

(2) Not sure about the wallpaper, but as long as it's saving as background it should be OK. It may be a feature that's only available with a Hard Drive though

(3) No, unfortunately you can't copy music or movies between a jumpdrive and the 360's drive. This is to prevent piracy (I would imagine) but seems a little draconian to me. You *might* be able to copy pictures however, but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps

Andy

I have played games since the early nineties. I can answer questions on the SNES, the Sega Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, 360, and DS. I can tell you what games are worth getting, and which aren`t, as well as the history of these systems. While I`m no expert on other systems I`m more than happy to find out things you would like to know about them.
