xbox live does need internet and you get 1 month i think or 3 months of gold for free to try it out to see if you like it than you go back to gold when the time is up unless you pay for gold

Internet: yes.
Basically, if you want to play multiplayer games, you'll need to get a gold membership. I think you get a 1 month free trial of gold when you first setup your xbox account and stuff, but after that you'll have to pay. Also very occasionally you'll get something like, a free theme at Christmas, or 50% off some random Arcade game if you have a gold account, but basically the main appeal is multiplayer gaming.

I'm left scratching my head wondering how everyone is overlooking the alternative method of two soup cans and some kit string?

I joke because it's already been answered... please don't report me....

- I say this because last week I got suspended for pointing out something in the ToS and got suspended

- I say this because these forums can be quite odd in what is and is not acceptable

- I say this because you can totally belittle someone and get away with it but when you try to be helpful you get suspended

- I say this because it happened to me

- I said that because I was bored.

Dude thats like asking if you need the internet access the world wide web....

Silver is just for game downloads, msgs, updates, etc

To play online you need gold. Look on Ebay for can get 13 months for like $30.

And yes you need the internet to look on Ebay.

It is really sad that some of you cannot be mature enough to answer this question without sarcasm. If you thought this was stupid then why even come on the thread? I asked this question because i just got my 360 and wanted live, not to listen to someegotisticalposts bypeople sovoidof anything of importance in their lives that they need to post and then complain about the topic of the thread.

okay noob. yes you need the internet for xbox live. If you want to play games online get gold, silver is only good for accessing the marketplace and buyng games (which you can do with gold anyway)

well until MS makes the use of magic more practical we still will have to rely on the practical, fathomable, concept of internet, sorry.
