Do you guys realize what paying for XBL is?

All the stuff you get on Gold is the same as Silver except playing online, and we pay 50 bucks a year, so developers get an online that they don't have to work their asses off to get up and running.

Err, developers have managed to provide online services for free without major incident for nearly a decade.Danm_999

Xbox live service is quite decent even for the money it allows users to send video messages and stuff but the major upside to it is how simple it is to play online with. Just sign in and select xbox live multiplayer no needing to get a new account for every game like on PCResident_Hiro

You guys can bash it all you want. I have no problem paying for it because I know what I'm getting. If I didn't think it was worth $4 a month, I wouldn't pay for it. The whole expierience is better than anything I've ever played on PC. It's not just words flashing across a screen. It's a person I'm talking to, laughing with or cussing at. It evokes emotions I'll never get out of a keyboard.

Live is the definitive way to play multiplayer.

Someone said in here that something like 200,000 people are playing a certain game at one time and it is free. How many people do you think are playing WoW and everquest at one time? I can pretty much guarentee that it is more than that.air0123

2nd. So that all you console games have some sort of online function? So that you get more games that are online multiplayer then any other system? So you have unified friends lists? so you dont have to put up with seperate programs like PC gaming? so voice support is widly supported? So that you can easily avoid players that annoy you? so that you can easily find like minded players to play with?

Like I said you dont know what you are talking about.

XBL is a complete package as far as I am concerned.  The coolest part is playing all the arcade games online with friends who now live thousands of miles away.

Like contra or street fighter.  I dont think those games would have a quality online compenent without XBL.

I have never had a problem paying for certain services online, from MMO's to XBL.

For the standard support it provides across all games its a nice service.  Its even cool to be able to open up a chat with those same friends that now live far away during a single player game and just BS while we play.
