bugshaw very kindly gave to me as a birthday present last year. I've made much less use of it than I would like, as we have had rather a lot to occupy our time this year, although I thoroughly enjoyed Halo.

No matter how tempting the idea of online gaming is, I do not want Microsoft snooping and possibly modifying my Xbox without my permission.
