Fun to play with a lot of friends. Works well and has a long reach. A+++
I bought one myself tried using it and no, it didn't work. I have read the other reviews for this xbox cable and most of them act like this is a rip off, and you should just buy a 50foot "cross-over" cable. That is because it was not specifically designed for the xbox. This cable however is made for xboxes, and will connect 2 xbox systems together so you can play certain games with up to 8 players on two different TV's, but still be fighting each other. NOT FOR ANY OTHER USES. THIS CABLE IS MADE FOR LINKING TWO XBOX'S TOGETHER. And using a "50 foot crossed over cable" doesn't work anyways. But the ultimate recommendation would be to just get x-box live, that way there's no complaining about a system link that will only do what the package says it does(link 2 xbox systems together) and you can play more than 8 people whenever you want.PS-i'm not a kid, i just didn't want to sign up with amazon.
If you don't like Microsoft or you think you can find a better deal on a different brand, look for "Cross-over" ethernet cables. "Patch" ethernet cables are the more common type, but they do not work for the Xbox.For more information go here: http://www.locopuyo.com/xboxlan.html
What if I purchase a new Xbox. What is the purpose for a system link cable. Can I use this cable to transfer "saved games" from one XBox to another. Can I then transfer to the new XBox using this system link cable.
However, if you hook up four xboxes, you have to use regular RJ-45 ethernet cable with a hub. This means that if you want to play Halo 4 vs 4 with 2 tvs, a regular ethernet cable will not work. This cable is used ONLY for a hookup between 2 xboxes. Only the Xbox System Link cable will work between two xboxes directly connected. That is why this cable is necessary.
