Most impressive. Are they making a profit though?

Very strange to have Tokyo in the list. Did they publish actual figures? Tokyo is a very big city so I suppose it *might* be possible.

Xbox LIVE is great.....if you ignore the fucktards. What is it about online gaming that brings out the imebeciles? Once you've got a good friends list though, Xbox LIVE is unbeatable.

I was on xbox live last night till 12.30am. Playing MM3 capture the gold with a couple of 'real' friends - you know how hard it is to get together as you get older!. Absolutely, totally, completely unbeatable. Haven't laughed and cursed so much in ages.

Took me a while to get onto Xbox Live but I'm finally on, and I don't regret it at all. Admittedly it can be difficult avoiding... umm... ungentlemanly conduct... but once you find some people who have the same aims as you, the hours can fly by.

"can halo 2 add another a million?"

Yes - probably because these, like the first million, will be largely free sign-ups which get terminated after 1 month.

The presence of Tokyo is a bit puzzling - I think it may be down to the Live userbase not being very concentrated at all - that is that the bulk of subscribers do not live in large urban areas? If this is the case, a place like Tokyo would always show up just by being so bloody big.

Fastest *growing* in the world? Of *any* description? Bullsh*t. I put up a photo web page, my mum and brother looked at it, which is 300% growth in 1 day, or 109,500% p.a.

Beat that Billy No-Gates!
