So their point is entirely valid, one of the benefits, and for me it's a significant one, is that there will be the opportunity to play on Xbox Live with lots more gamers in one room.

You implied that it was only useful for hosts, as if that was a minority thing. And it is if you're a PC gamer. But it's a common thing on Xbox Live. The sooner the UK gets higher upload speeds as a matter of course, for everyone, the sooner we'll be able to enjoy Xbox Live or PSN to the full.
So I am wrong when I think of the xbox connection method as peer-to-peer in that each individual person has another connection to another user?
