CBBC Newsround Online had a little go at X02 playing Moto GP, which is one of the games to be bundled with the Xbox Live package that goes on sale in March 2003.

	How Xbox Live will be safe for you
		You need a credit card to register with Xbox Live
		You have one name for all games, making it easy to track down people who don't behave
		A parental lock can be put on the headset to stop kids using it

It's pretty frustrating when you hear a gamer in America whoop with excitement as they overtake you, and because everyone else in the game gets a on-screen message when you crash, the stick keeps coming.

But you can get your own back when you start doing well, letting everyone else know as you fly past - not that novice gamers like your man from CBBC Newsround Online managed much overtaking!

The biggest problem about Xbox Live is that you can only play it on a broadband connection, and at the moment not many UK homes have one of those.

It will also cost money to play, with the launch pack containing a communicator headset, two games and a 12-month subscription to Xbox Live priced at about £40.
