Yup. I'm on iDSL which is basically glorified ISDN 128k. I'm too far from the CO to get regular DSL.

Contrary to logic, iDSL is actually more expensive than regular DSL. My company is paying for my connection so I don't know the exact cost, but a friend of mine just got his iDSL as well and he's paying $80/month.

My provider is Covad Communications.

I have the X-Arcade on order. Hopefully will be here this week. From all the research I did, people have indicated that it will work with Live and the headset.

Geez, jessecrx, was I lagging or something? I didn't see any, but you left after 1 game!

Ok. My X-Arcade arrived yesterday. On the Xbox adapter are 2 slots for memory cards. Only 1 of those will work with the Live Headset. You'll know when you see the green light by the mute button.

Ummm, what about impressions on the FEEL and responsiveness of the stick?

It feels just like an arcade stick. It clicks. It's got that springy feel like all the arcade machines. Response is good. I didn't detect any controller lags when playing. Oh, and it's easy to program when using with MAME.

I bought the dual and the 2 sticks are pretty close together. I can see 2 players using it if it's mounted in a cabinet. But there's no way 2 adults can sit next to each other and use this without banging elbows and shoulders.

Why buy the dual then? I needed 2 sticks for Smash TV in MAME.

If I leave after 1 game its usually because of lag. I try to find that person I disconnected from for a rematch in hopes of a smoother connection. I have played several people with "good connections" and it still felt sluggish, while others were flawlessly perfect! We'll meet up again.

I play P-Groove, so lag is a real pain for me

Be sure to test it out on CvS2 Live and let me know if you experience a delay in the response of the stick. There have been alot of people complaining that the X-Arcade Xbox adapter has a delay for some reason when playin ONLINE only. I have an X-Arcade myself, and I would go from my Controller S to the X-Arcade and the Controller S would respond ALOT faster. I ended up making my own custom arcade stick with the guts of a reflex arcade stick. I am keeping the X-Arcade setup, but I just wont be using it online for now til I findout whats causing the delay. I know its not lag because I can play much better on my hacked stick then on the X-Arcade.

Does anyone have a lag problem where the moves won't come out immediately but after 1-2 seconds after input? I can't do any combos because of that lag. #@$%@#&) Piss me off...arrgh..

Well bud, it depends on your connection. NO game on XBL will be lag free, but I have played games where I cant tell the difference between LIVE online play and arcade play. it all depends on the connection and when you play, your isp, etc.

I've been playing online using the X-Arcade. There are matches that's lagging really bad. And some just a tiny bit.

I can't tell if the lag is from the X-Arcade or just internet lag. How do you tell?

Also, where did you hear that the X-Arcade introduces lag when playing online?

Try using your regular Xbox controller for online play. Just test the overall responsiveness of it. See how the reaction time is. Then test the X-Arcade.

Here is the thread that many X-arcade owners have been talking on regarding the subject.

Now, I'm all paranoid about the lag issue.

Just bumping this to see if you guys are still playing this on Live. I was thinking about getting it since the only other Live game I have is Unreal (and I haven't played it in 2 months).

I am not a big Fighter Game fan but I did enjoy DOA3 a lot more than I thought I would. How does this game compare? Is it tough for an average gamer to pick it up and have fun or are you constantly pressing "LRupdownABYXRLup" to get a decent move?

I haven't played it for the last several weeks ever since I picked up on MAME emulators.
