Re: [Xbox] Re: Connecting My Console To Xbox Live

You are right, you didn't. Which is exactly why I hate groups. I find it
really hard to reply to the right person as I delete each mail as I read it
to avoid my inbox getting insanely cluttered.

I guess I should have stuck to forums. :-p Still, I joined this mainly to
keep in the loop of what is going on which I would never remember to check a
forum regular enough.
