I am getting a 360 ever so soon! One thing that surprised me was that, even tho the 360 is the only system that charges for online play, alot of people subscribe! I am assuming it must be really good, then,.....since it costs $50 per year!

Give ur best reasons why xbox live is worth the money, and what makes it better than other online play abilities on the wii and ps3

The only thing you're really restricted from when not buying xbox live Gold is online multiplayer. For people who really enjoy playing online then Xbox live Gold is for them and is best bought a year at a time. For people who do not perticularly enjoy playing online then acess to all the content on Xbox live is free with a silver account. With Silver, you can download demos and videos and XBLA arcade games, but not play them online. You also get a free month of Gold when you buy a new system so you can see if you really like online play.

also, I should add that the two other computers running on this network are floating around 7.6 mb themselves, so I see no reason why a wired 360 should be running any slower.Diozakrod

You aren't doing a lot of network intensive computing are you? If you're network is busy it could be causeing the problem.

if I buy a hard drive and save stuff on it can I take it out and put it in other 360's and play the games I have savedShamrockRovers

If you're looking for something to take with you a memory card might be better. Hard drives can be moved to a different Xbox, but it is best to be left on the one it came with if at all possible.

well games beat and all but 3 acheivements done, but i think it is time for some more downloadable maps for multiplayer. what do you guys think?PostwarEMINEM

I'm actually still learning all the new maps :(. I know they're working on more maps. If they released the new maps now, I would still download the right away.
