Got an xbox question now (because of price cut)
Ok, I'm forcing myself to get one. One question-Do is support online games yet? (and if so, which ones?) (and if not, which ones in the future?) *(how about broadband?, does it support that?) That's my one question and I'm sticking to it.

It has everything built in for now.
However, MS has not launched their own form of online service yet. If you are very ambitious though, there are guides detailing how to use your current broadband connection, a hub and computer to get yourself online with Halo. I have not done it, so I am unsure how it all works. But, both Sony and MS should have their online plans kicking in soon enough, especially after E3, as we will most likely see announcements of many online games.

You're going to need to buy an Ethernet Router eventually.

How do you do it without a hub?
