BT is marking the XBox 360's launch (games console) by offering a special price on its BT Wireless Broadband product - £14.99 a month for 3 months:
The benefits of BT Wireless Broadband are clear, even for the non-gamers in the house - up to 10 members of one household can log-on simultaneously from different computers around the house. So while the gamer is using Xbox Live to compete against gamers all over the world, other family members can still use the internet for downloading music, working from home or catching up with friends over email. Its simple to set-up and use so you will be hooked up to broadband internet and to Xbox Live with your new Xbox 360 console in no time at all.
The Xbox 360 can be used in connection with BT Wireless Broadband enabling you to control your music, images, PC and of course play games using Xbox Live - all wirelessly. With all BT packages providing a wireless network of up to 50 square metres, and the Xbox 360 wireless controller offering an expansive 30-foot range, you really do have the freedom to play games in the lounge, bedroom, kitchen or around the home.
By using wireless broadband and attaching a storage device (a hard drive memory unit) you will get instant access to Xbox Live Silver, making it possible to engage in voice and text messaging, talk to friends using voice chat, receive video messages from gold level members and download new game trailers, levels, maps, weapons, vehicles and more via the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Customers signing up to a BT Wireless Broadband package from now until 19th February 2006 can also benefit from up to £200 off the price of a laptop of their choice from selected brands via the BT online retail store ( full details, terms and conditions can be found at http://www.bt.com/broadband/wireless ).Mind you, just trying to get an XBox 360 before Christmas could be more trouble than its worth.
