Xbox live

Hi, going to have to pack the Xbox when I move to Dubai. Is anyone on Xbox live? Is the connection ok?

No problems at all far as I am concerned COD works fine online

Awesome, can you add me and have a chat about my move? My gamertag is awelshbakestone

Mom here- don't know much about gaming, but 14 year old son is OBSESSED....we are about to move to Dubai, and he says as long as he has his XBOX live he will be fine. What do I need to know about bringing it over? Should I just buy him a new one when i get there. Are all his favorite Games avail? Skyrim, Saints row 3, Bioshock are all things I hear him talk about with his friends- and COD, and the like.

He said if we bought a new box, would his memory card transfer? Remember, I am an old mom not into gaming- can you offer me detailed advice on keeping the kid happy. Thanks!

I brought mine over from the uk and only brought one from here when that one broke but it was old. Most games are available here like the ones you mention bit more expensive than UK but you could always order from Amazon and ship them over I have done that no problems. So in short nothing you need to do other than get Internet once your here and plug it in. He will play against people from different parts of world thats all due to the time difference

Will I still be able to contact/invite/play Xbox live with those in my current friends list? It sounds like I can just sign into my account and away to go so to speak, hope that's the case.

I'll bring my Xbox over with cod and keep my fingers crossed.

From what I've read there are a variety of Internet packages and offers, with different sizes and all that jargon, if I want unlimited usage and the best connection I can which should I go for?

Friends list no problems still got all mine from UK and play when time zone allows. The only issue I had was getting new map pack for COD black ops when that was out as game wasn't brought here but was trying to download it bit that can be overcome. Internet will depend where your going to live. Two providers here and list of speed packages I lived in the marina and had 24 mps package I have just moved onto palm fastest package on here with same company is 16 mps but all more than plenty of x box

I think I heard somewhere that Saints Row 3 is banned here but the others are okay.

Saints Row 3 banned in the UAE | Middle East Gamers
