Default Random Questions for XBOX 360 users

Hey guys, I want to buy a 360 by the end of the month but I just want to know some things, hope you can help me.....

Can I create my own soundtrack with my own songs when I play a game?
Can I play Forza or PGR2 on XBOX 360?
Can I use an USB to transfer songs, photos etc, from my computer to my XBOX Hard drive?
What is the differnece between XBOX Live Silver and Gold?
Do I have to pay a monthly fee or do I have to pay something for having XBOX live, or just with my DSL connection I can play online?
Is there a big difference between a normal TV and an HD TV in terms of XBOX 360 graphics?

Hi

Yes you can create you own soundtracks with you own songs.

Yes you can play forza and PGR2, I play Forza on mine and it works fine, but some games can glitch in little ways with music and slow down time to time.

You can use xbox360 to view pictures from USB, CD, windows media(pc needed) but Im not sure if you can store them on your 360HD.

Xbox live silver membership lets your view videos, and downloadble content for games, But Gold membership is required for online gaming.

You have to pay. Here in england its £40 a year I think, you can pay it monthly which eqaute to a slightly high yearly fee overall. So its best to pay it off in one go.

High definition is the way to go. You can go to a demo booth in a game shop to see it running in 720p (i think thats what it is) but rember now xbox360 has been updated over xboxlive to support 1080i.

There is some free content, but they range from about $6 to $15 USD

Hey guys, I was downloading some free stuff on XBOX live, and some things need microsoft points, so my question is, are the microsoft points value in dollars, I mean, my Xbox 360 tells me that 500 microsoft points are worth 60.53$ but I want to know if that amount is in dollars or in my country currency?, because I cant believe that a PGR3 download of 12 cars costing 400 microsoft points equals like 50$, I mean is almost as the total price of a new game... So I was thinking maybe it is showing the amount in my country currency of 60 pesos for 400 microsoft points that equals like 6 dollars...

Well I hope you can help me on this one

What cars are available for download? I'm too lazy to take my box out and connect to XBOX live, its a pain in the ass to bypass the LAN here

Note that these downloads don't make the game any less sucky.
