Okay, that helps. I guess I will get CoD2 because everyone said it was better than 3 and it's $15 cheaper

I've got another quick <s>thread hijack</s> question: Does anyone know what ports need to be open to let Xbox Live work properly? We have our router buttoned down pretty tight, and don't want to leave too much stuff open. If it needs a lot, I might throw a cheap switch between the DSL modem and the future 360.

Oh, DSL is fine, right? Here's the figure Speedtest.net came up with, since I forget what service we have.

I'm pretty sure that my friend formerly had DSL (the lucky bastard has FiOS for dirt cheap now), and I believe he had his 360 and was on Xbox Live then, so you should be in the clear.

Your connection is fine. As for the ports, Google is your friend. I know I've had to look it up before, and there's a page somewhere in Microsoft's support database detailing the ports. It's not too hard to find.
