 xbox rocks December 3, 2004

This site is the cheapest I have found for this card.<br />Do not pay for your live service monthly on your credit card.<br />It's alot cheaper to buy one of these cards every year.
Two reasons to get this card November 12, 2004

There are only two reasons to get this Xbox Live subscription card. First, as a gift for someone who already has Xbox Live and wants to renew his subscription. Second, the normal yearly fee is $50, so if you can get this card cheaper than that, you'll save money.
This card is not a good way to get Xbox Live if you don't already have it. For that purpose, buy the starter kit (ASIN B000209V8K), which includes a free game, a headset, and a year subscription. Without the headset, Xbox Live is pretty boring.
Great gift for the Christmas season October 20, 2004

Hey! You probably know at least one person who plays games on XBox LIVE. And what with the Christmas season coming up, this could be the perfect gift for him or her.
XBox LIVE is an online community of gamers. Friendships are often formed and who can blame them, what with the ability to actually to talk to someone who is playing the same game as you. You're instantly in a community filled with people who like this one game you like, and their are so many games which use LIVE for other things such as free downloads/updates for games. If you have a cable connection and an XBox, you can't afford to not have XBox LIVE. So if you know someone who has XBox LIVE, get them a gift that will last a year. Trust me, they will enjoy it.
Xbox Live the Best Internet Gaming Ever!!! April 3, 2004

I know, I know. But I have been playing online since the days of text-based MUDDs. Most of you reading this are way too young to even know what a MUDD was, but back in 1982, we were playing them. Yes, I said 1982. I've been playing online games just that long and have seen the evolution of just about every type of online game and environment you can think of. I've played Battle.net, and Heat.net and just about every other online gaming service (free or subscription-based) that there has been to play over the last 20 years. Many of you may not even know what Xcite means, but they were responsible for online gaming on the 16-bit systems (SEGA Genesis and Super Nintendo). I had those too. "So after playing online for nigh 20 years, I had to ask myself what on Earth is Xbox Live (XBL) going to do that is so much more better about it than any other online experience than I have ever had," this is what I was thinking before I signed up, and I was very skeptical and rightfully so. But once I was on and was playing, my tune changed rather quickly. In all the years that I have been playing online, there has simply been no single experience as fun, exciting and solid as the XBL experience (yes, even the PS2 Online experience is inferior to XBL). It is quite safe to say, that they last 20+ years of online gaming have been ultimately leading up to XBL. Microsoft has taken all the best attributes of online gaming and infused them into XBL, while leaving all of the worst attrtributes on the cutting room floor. And check this out, they are constantly improving the experience. While you have a XBL subscription, all upgrades for the service are free of charge. And we get upgrades and improvements every few months. The XBL experience is so good, that many in even the PC gaming communittee prefer XBL over PC online gaming and are clamouring to get XBL on the PC - and later this year, they will finally have it. Then there is all the tons of free stuff that you can get on XBL. I cannot remember just how many new levels and modes and maps and soundtracks of various XBL games that I have downloaded in the last year for absolutely free. And with almost 100 games available to use the service and that number looking to more than double itself by the end of 2004, that's just even more opportunities to downlaod more free stuff to my Xbox harddrive. Inconclusion, XBL really is the best online gaming there has ever been to date. However, you do not have to take my word for it, you can find out for yourself for absolutely free. Most XBL games these days come with a 2-Month Trial Card FREE in the game's box. Just use that to sign-up for a temporary account and you get full access to all XBL services for FREE for two whole months. That's two whole months full access to the best online gaming service ever created. If by then you feel that this is not for you, then you are FREE to cancel the service without further obligation. YOU CANNOT LOSE. Anyway, I play XBL everyday, and I hope to see some of you there soon.
