Title: Xbox System Link Cable? Post by: den68 on July 11, 2005, 11:37:50 AM Is it necessary to spend $20 bucks on one or is just a standard RJ45 Network crossover cable?

Is Ray still thinking about doing the system link for our next Halo 2 session? Title: Re: Xbox System Link Cable? Post by: Tynstar on July 11, 2005, 12:24:41 PM Standard RJ45 X-over.

That's the plan. we tried it last time but I only had a straight through network cable. Title: Re: Xbox System Link Cable?

That should also lets you connect more then two systems together!

Post by: s1lence on July 12, 2005, 11:52:23 AM I have used a hub and standard cables as well as a home made crossover cable. People that spend the money on the offical one are just foolish, even a generic crossover cable is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the xbox one.
