How to Throw an Xbox360 LAN Party
Playing video games is always better with friends. Online play is enjoyable, but there is nothing quite like playing in a room with 15 other buddies eating pizza and staying up way too late. The Xbox360 is easy to use for a LAN party if you have the right supplies.

Tips & Warnings
Fridays and Saturdays are best because people can stay later.
The bigger and better quality televisions you have the better. If you have high-definition televisions they are preferred over standard definition televisions.
Make sure you have enough power outlets for everyone.
Having enough room is essential to a good Xbox360 party, but keeping everyone within earshot is important too. Half the fun is yelling and screaming at each other all evening.
Make sure you have enough copies of whatever game you plan on playing.
Give people plenty of advanced notice, and guests about the party a few days before. It isn't quite a party if only a few people show up!
