sam, why don't you register with a US GT on live. You can buy the 1yr prepaid subscription to Live on ebay.com for $35 -- there are loads of vendors selling these prepaid cards and most email the codes to you within minutes of receiving their paypal payments.

V i've registered with a UK address and an Indian one....since my indian one was first (and the one with which i registered my console), i cant get my 1 month free gold on my UK account...is it possible for me to get prepaid cards for UK?

if you arent too picky about starting afresh (losing your GT and APs) then i'd recommend creating a new US GT. live subscription codes for US GTs sell for $32-$38 on ebay.com. UK subscriptions are much more expensive.
Also MS confirmed that Live would only launch by mid-2007 in india (payment gateway issues)

GT and APs arent an issue since i dont play on my UK GT, i play on my Indian one..i only go on he Uk one for LIVE updates and stuff....so getting rid of it entirely is not an issue
but do you get lag connecting to US servers...and my main concern is that if MS launches live in India in Q1 '07....i dont want to be stuck with a US membership for a yr

you could buy a 3-months subscription instead.
lag/latency is an issue when playing with gamers from australia or eastern europe. i've played sports, racing and action games without issues with gamers from USA, UK, Japan, etc. loads of gamers on my friends list are from the states and they only complain with certain games like TT and Saints Row

will let you know in 2days -- my retailer confirmed that he's getting new 360 games (didnt specify which) by Monday morning. so when i get my copy of GoW, BP is gonna help me finish it in COOP mode (it's a tough game for run & gun junkies).

If you managed to play GRAW or get used to its cover system, it will be easy to get hang of Gears Of War.

No lag in Co Op but have noticed some problems in regular mp mode. Also would be good to work in teams as most of the guys on GOW seem to be well co-ordinated in teams of four.
Love this one liner in GOW " My Love For You Is Like A Truck"

Maybe Co-0p will make you like the game, nothing like having a friend besides you while you wipe out the Locust scum.
