Rating: - Xbox live rules but....
The Xbox live service is second to none in terms of console gaming. The issue is this: You are forced into a windows live stinky hotmail account to use Xbox live. Another Microsoft bully BS sceme to force people into their crappy products/programs they could care less for. I use MAC now, ditched windows and even before dumping Vista I gave Windows Live Messenger/Windows Live the boot and switched to Yahoo and Gmail. So much better and it works. I hate Windows Live and I hate being forced to keep my WL account active just to be able to play Xbox live it sucks! I hope microsoft goes out of the computing business and just makes Xbox consoles.
Rating: - Awesome!
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)
Rating: - Xbox live, for the cheapest around
Many places sell Xbox Live cards, but only Amazon can sell it for under the retail price. This product allows you to play all Xbox Live games online as well as get access to it's marketplace and friends via internet. A great bargain for 13monthes and a discounted Card.
