 A must have for any Xbox 360 owner November 29, 2008
ok, we all have different tastes in video games but the one thing that unites (almost) all gamers is our love for online gaming.
All three of the major gaming consoles has their form of online networks. The PS3 has the Playstation Network and the Xbox 360 has Xbox Live.
Xbox Live is Xbox's online network. It has more players worldwide than Playstation Network, and it also has more features.
Here is the price break down:
1 Month - $5.96
3 Months - $15.96
12 Months (Plus 1 Month free) - $38.99
Here are some of the features on Xbox Live:
- Friends
- Messaging
- IM
- Online Talking
- game Demos
- Netflix
- + MANY MORE
The 12 month card is the best deal. But no matter what card you purchase, IT IS WORTH IT.
If you own a Xbox 360 and are into online play, then THIS IS A MUST GET.

Some of the negative reviews complain about scratching too hard and losing the code and therefore their money. Those reviews are for an older generation of this card; the one I got (11/2008) has a tear-off piece of paper to reveal the code. Entering the code online was a snap.
I got the gold membership because it enhances my NetFlix subscription. The new Netflix/Xbox Gold feature lets users of both watch (most) Netflix instant streaming movies on their Xbox. The video quality has so far been excellent (even on the large screen); better than what I've seen on laptops. I'm looking forward to HD streaming but none of the 300 (so far) titles had any appeal to me.
Update: Turns out Netflix allows unlimited streaming for most of its plans. Their $8.99 plan gives one DVD at a time and unlimited streaming via PC and/or XBox. Streaming experiences have so far been excellent.
Oh Yeah!!! November 27, 2008
What A great price! I have told all my friends on Xbox Live about this deal. I think I am going to buy another just to have when my subscription runs out in 13 months. This is a must have for any gamer.
This is 70% what makes the Xbox 360 so fun! November 26, 2008
I've been on live since day one, my kids love it and I love it, this is just too much fun.
For those of you who don't know what this is, this membership allows you to play online against other people, you can add players to your friends list or if you have friends with a live account, you can add them too. This will make your gaming experience that much better since there's no A.I. that compares or even comes close to playing against real people.
For those of you who have a Netflix account, now you can stream a good number of movies directly to your Xbox 360 and watch them on TV.
If you like competitive gaming, this is a must have!

The first thing people usually say when they find out you need to pay to online game with other people on Xbox Live is, "What?! Its not free?"
Honestly, 40 - 50 dollars a year is hardly anything. That is less than 5 dollars a month, which equates to about one less Taco Bell stop per month.
Xbox Live is where it's at. Having played on both, Xbox Live is far superior to Playstation's network, for a few reasons. First of all, since Microsoft is getting 50 dollars a year from subscibers, that means the connections, servers, etc. tend to work really well with all that influx of cash. Second of all, the individuals who use Xbox Live are more likely to be gamers, not just some socially inept individual who decided to make a free account just to screw with people. Thirdly, because Xbox Live is a paying service, users tend to not be overly vile or rude, because they can be reported and thus lose their privilages.
Sorry I focused on the negative side of the positives. Bottom line, it is a great bargain; and if you own an Xbox 360 and do not have Xbox Live, then you are not tapping into all the capabilities of your system.
