Setting up a games console



In this blog post i will be writing about how to set up your console. First off you will want to set your console either landscape or portrait. After you've done this you will want to connect the power brick to a plug socket and the connect the other end of the wire into the slot you can see from the picture to the right. This will allow you to switch you Xbox on, once you connected the power cable you will want to connect the composite lead to your Xbox by connecting one end to your tv and then the other end into the Xbox. Most console in the present day mainly use a HDMI cable, but they still include the normal Scart lead which most tv's still have so all players can still play and enjoy their games console.

If you look at the pictures to the right you will see how I've set my console up, it includes how to set up by using a HDMI cable and then once this is finished you might want to set up a local game with a friend on a different Xbox. To do this all you would need to do is have an Ethernet cable and connect one end to your Xbox and then the other end to your friends Xbox. For example if you wanted to set up a local games on Gears of War then the pictures to the right should help you and guide you to completing this. Once you've loaded up Gears of War you should click on "Multi-player" and then click on "Local" and then finally click on "Host a Match" to obviously host your own game lobby or if you wanted to join a friend then you would need to click where it says "Join a Match"

Hopefully if you've done all of this correctly then you should have a working Xbox that allows you to either host a game or join a friends game.
