XBOX Live...sell it to me

Yas786 · 25 Apr 2006 at 10:41

Having had my xbox 360 since late december i havent really bothered to checkout xbox live even though a few people here have said try it and now i have my bro in Canada whos saying the same thing.

Granted i dont know much about xbox live other than you can download demos etc??. So can someone tell me about xbox live??, what options do you have and other than online gaming is it worth getting xbox live. Personally doesnt bother me either way but im trying to figure out if its worth paying for etc.
By the way can someone explain to me the differences in gold membership and silver membership. What are the monthly rates for them etc etc.

TIA

Cheers Krono for that

. With the marketplace i take it that most if not all the content is free on there??. £40 p/a seems a pretty good price mind you and the online gaming is something thats always interested in me...kinda gets boring playing against the computer all the time lol. I guess it will allow me to play with my bro in Canada as well so its a win win situation.

I didnt know you get a free live sub with the 360...is it a free month of gold or what?? and after that month is up do you have to sign up again or does it do it automatically like some places that do a re-curring charge etc.

I just signed up for the 1 month trial, the system did not ask me to input any form of payment method so I'm assuming you don't have to commit to anything matey

Ta mate, ill have a look into this free sub for a month thingy...see if it appeals to me.

An Xbox360 without Xbox Live is like having a broken pencil.

That sold it to you!

Hehe i can live with a broken pencil, its why i have a leatherman tool for...sharpening broken pencils

Why do you need to wait for the LCD to get onto live? Do it now!

LOL ummm cos i cant be bothered to run a 20m cat5 cable from my room upstairs to my living room...thats why

. Tried connecting wirelessly but it wont connect to my wireless gateway and i really cant be arsed to go and buy a router which is wired/wireless.

So buying the lcd tv allows me to take the xbox360 upstairs into my room where i can connect it to xbox live without running a long cable....also ill have the lcd tv in my room as well. Plus according to my mum it will keep me indoors rather than me being out late playing on my mates ps2
