Stunned at how awesome Fifa 09 is
Massive Pro Evo fan since the first ever version on PSone (ISS) but played this years demo and it looks utter crap and lazy just like last years while Fifa has blown me away
The 10v10 online is awesome, thats all i've done all night
Oh my gamertag is Rich_Lufc1 if anyone wants a battering

Re: XBOX Live Gamertags
You will need to connect up an ethernet cable from your modem or router to your Xbox for starters.
Then you will need to sign up to Xbox Live, you can do this straight away when your cable is connected up. This will give you a bog standard (free) Xbox Live Silver subscription.
Next you will want to upgrade to Xbox Live Gold so you can use it to play online. A lot of games come with a free month trial, or they certainly used to so check for any of them. You can subscribe to the Gold service through the same Xbox live menu when you turn it on or failing that buy yourself a card like this one...

I tend to avoid subscribing directly through Xbox as they have a tendency to sign you up for auto-renewal which is a pain to get out of (requires calling them) so I tend to buy subscription cards.
You can get them in Asda or Game too, but they'll be around the same price I reckon. It used to be cheaper to buy Xbox Live subscriptions on ebay as they'd do them for cheaper and send the code by email but various scams seem to have made this process a bit more of a chore so I'd probably avoid that.
