  • Won't be a problem, each controller will be synched to a specific console and in my experience there is no interference. I've been to plenty of LAN parties with multiple Xboxes and controllers on at the same time.
  • If all the xboxes are set to the default settings then as far as your router is concerned it should just hand out the IP addresses without any issues.

    As for the wireless connections i dont have one so cant comment directly but i'd imagine you can set the frequency so they don't conflict but i'm not 100% sure on this so don't quote me!!

  • they should be fine as this is a common thing in many uni student houses.

    only thing you will need is a good fast connection if they are gonna all play online together. other wise they will get serious lag

    Two in our house. Anyone on ADSL will have no problem, no matter what their speed.
