 The best thing to happen to gaming April 22, 2008

The Xbox 360 is a great console in its own right, but times are changing, people no longer want to play Ai, mindless enemies that although thanks to new technology adapt themselves to your style, don't have the heart of a real player.
Xbox live changes that. Almost every game is accessible to Xbox live, you can talk to friends via msn or the headset that comes with the console, view other players profiles, chat to them online and view gamerscores.
Xbox live is a world of never ending gaming, where a game can never get old, because no game is alike.
If your worried about the cost, and thinking about a Playstation 3, due to its free internet, consider this, not only does the Xbox get great online games such as halo 3 and Gears of war exclusive. But it gets new maps and new online updates before anyone else, take a good example, Call of Duty 4. New map packs have been released 21 days before the PS3.
But the fun doesn't stop their, your profile, offering the innovative gamerscore / achievements compares you to your friends in a new and different format. Gamertags and pictures can be bought fro the Xbox marketplace, along side HD ready films and new games.
Although, as with every service there are good points, there are some bad ones too, the market place only runs on a currency known as Microsoft points, forcing you to buy a certain amount as opposed to simply paying for your item.
Your money not only goes towards all this, but Microsoft run there own gaming services, unlike ps3 sports titles such as EA, this means the games always run smoothly, whilst ps3 servers, which are free to pay often lag and sometimes it is impossible to get a game, because Sony don't run their own services, and big companies don't want to lose money...
In short, Xbox live is an amazing online feat, offering you everything you could ever need for any type of gamer. Join the online revolution.

Was a pain from beging to end. I kept getting error messages and when i went to micriosoft for help the advised me that i should create a new accout as the system was refusing to update my old one thus costlin me my gamescore and achivements. eventualy my account did update but a had to get up in the middle of the night when fewer people were using the service to do so

DOESN'T WORK WITH EA GAMES IF UNDER 18!!!!!!! BEWARE! February 12, 2008

Please don't make the same mistake as us and register this in somebody's name who's under 18 as NO EA GAMES WILL WORK ON XBOX LIVE! That includes Fifa 08 and Tiger Woods 08 which are 3+ games.
XBOX LIVE support were totally useless and amazingly offered no help whatsoever. I consider the fact that there is no mention of the age restriction on the front of the games (next to the XBOX live logo) to be disgraceful and misleading at best!

The review by "Mr. S. A. Brown "yentilsale1" sums it up for me as I have just had the same problems. Why cant Microsoft do the decent thing and make a simple way of cancelling your membership via the console. You start your subscription this way, so why cant you cancel it this way!? Apparently, its for security and information reasons!! What a load of rubbish!! Blizzard are able to do all of this with World of Warcraft on the internet through your own personal account.
Microsoft, sort your public image out, its all an excuse to take money from people who forget to cancel their memberships. Shame on you!
