"Live" now across the pond

Anyone been on XBox Live since it launched in the UK and Europe? It's hilarious. I swear I was playing aganst Hugh Grant. Was also in a game where most of the people were french. Adds a new challenge to team play. I think having a variety of languages going on in the same game is great, though I've heard some ignorant people complaining.

Them: "uh finally a game where people are speakin english"
Me: "oh really, what language were they speaking? French?"
Them: "I don't know, some fucked up, stupid, language. I don't mind the people from the UK though, they just make me laugh."

//note for the wise...

Xbox Live hasn't actually been released in Europe yet, it's still in beta afaik. However there's nothing stopping people from using "foreign" setup kits because they aren't region coded. I know a lot of ppl in the UK who are online with their Xbox and none of them got their kits from a regular high street shop heh...

Interesting. The guy I was talking to said it launched about a week ago.

Unless they brought the date forward... last I knew it was starting March next year...

I think the Beta was launched a week ago. But I can't be sure.
