If your like me, and you get bored once you play through a game. Even if you can earn some special skills and re-use em through the game; You still get bored. You want something that is constantly different and changing.

Well Xboxlive is for you then. You get four zones to choose from. Recreation, Pro, Family, and Underground. So you can choose what type of player you want to be; and the category you will be in so your matched up against the same type player. It's all very user friendly.

It's very easy to setup up. All very straight forward, all you need is a broadband connection. I have a 3meg down and 384k up connection(Although I only seem to get 2 meg down). (Boo windstream j/k) anyways, seems to work fine for the most part. Of course latency can be an issue, but this all depends on your ISP.

Well worth the money. Also if your going to get this, you may as well get a router. Make sure you get one that is Xboxlive compliant, so you can plug and go, with no NAT problems.

I have a router that is not friendly toward my Xbox360/live and causes some difficulties with the NAT no matter what I do. so to keep from having to switch your broadband connection back and fourth between your PC and Xbox 360 (It gets old) and you have no NAT problems, get an xboxlive compliant router. (There seems to be a lot, probably find a good deal here on amazon)

5.0 out of 5 stars Xbox Live is a necessity for Xbox 360 owners
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2010

Xbox Live is Microsoft's online service for the Xbox 360. While Sony provides this online servuce for free at the moment for the Playstation 3, Micorsoft has put a MSRP of $49.99 on their online service. Though recently, retialers have been discounting these cards $10-20 off so keep your eyes open for a good deal.

Xbox Live's main function is that it allows you to play the games you bought online, if the feature is included. For instance if you bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the single player campaign is only 6-8 hours long. Pretty short for a game that is costing you $60. With Xbox Live, you can now play that game against people all over the world for 100s of hours if you like. In essence, Live can extend the life of a game pretty dramatically.

Another cool feature is the access to Microsoft's Marketplace. Here you can buy Xbox Live Arcade games like Bejeweled, download demos of games released or soon to be released for free, rent/buy movies, buy DLC content for you games, etc.

Also Live has a ton of community features like Facebook, Last.fm, Twitter, friend list and voice chat. Voice chat is great because while playing a game, you can talk to your friend without having to use your cellphone minutes. You do not even need to be playing the same game to chat which is great. Just pick your friend out from friend list and start chatting.

While Live is great, there is a major problem that parents should know. Every game played online has voice chat enabled. This can lead to some players being complete jerks where they will use foul, vile language that is not suitable for kids. I guess some players find it funny to talk like sailors, but it can get very offensive. Now I play mostly Mature rated games so I assume this is not a problem for kid games, but it is an issue that parents need to know. Always be sure to check the ESRB ratings found in front of games before buying.

Live is a great feature that is definitely worth paying for so keep your eyes open for when retailers like Amazon have these cards on sale. See you online.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Card Avoids Coin-Scratching Mishaps
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2008

This review is not about the service Microsoft offers for its Xbox 360 console, which is debatable, but about the card itself.

Many negative reviews were due to the fact that there is a code you must scratch off with a coin and sometimes it scratches the code off as well. Now, Microsoft has replaced the scratch-off surface of the card with a perforated strip of cardboard which peels off, so there is no risk of making the code illegible anymore.

If you are getting Xbox Live, this is your cheapest payment option per month. You'll get 13 months for [...] cheaper than 12 months would be at Microsoft's Xbox Marketplace.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best service out there for multiplayer
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2009

Xbox Live has no real competitors for a complete, integrated gaming experience. While the Playstation 3 is catching up, it simply does not have the experience that the Xbox team had.

I originally started out as a Playstation fanboy, so don't assume that I have a preference simply based on brands. Ultimately, the price of the Xbox 360 versus the PS3 and the difference in release dates is what prompted me to get a 360.

In the previous console generation, I actually purchased my Playstation 2 when it first launched, then a Gamecube 3 years or so later, and then an Xbox about 4 years after it originally launched. Unfortunately, I found out that I missed out on the coolest experiences with better graphics and features.

I have been an Xbox Live member since the first year I had high speed Internet available (when I had the first Xbox) in my area. The capabilities have greatly expanded since then, as has the community. You can now have video chat, chat without video, play Xbox Live Arcade games (some with camera support), join "parties" with your friends in and out of games, or chat with other people who are playing the games with you.

Being a Gold Member to Xbox Live (which this product makes you) allows you to access free demos of upcoming games-- sometimes weeks before regular free members--, play online multiplayer, weekly discounts on downloadable content, and more.
