5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, 16 Feb 2006
By G. Lewis "mgjjl" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Xbox live is probably one of the best things about owning an Xbox 360. The system is so effective that I'd have been happy even if the visual capabilities of the console weren't so good.

So what's so great about Live then? Well, for anyone who's played PC games online, you'll know that you have to create an account for every single one of them, which can be confusing if nothing else. Xbox live allows you to create one account, linked to your hotmail account if you so wish, allowing you to play any compatible game online without having to register every time. Aside from this, Live now allows you to download playable demo's, video's and pictures to your Xbox 360's hard drive. There is also a new thing called "Xbox Live Arcade". This is where you can play some 80's classics and a range of puzzle games.

Live also has a few neat touches that round off the whole experience. You can now have a Gamercard. This is where you can show off how many achievements you've unlocked and how good your online reputation is. Its only a small thing, but it makes a neat package even better.

The Membership card for sale here allows you access to the Online gaming element of Live (the rest is free). If you have Project Gotham 3 or Dead or Alive 4, it is essential. At £32 it works out at £2.60 per month, which is fantastic value for money. If you want to play against other people from around the world, there is no better system.

5.0 out of 5 stars What are you waiting for?, 14 Sep 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Live is brilliant, its outstanding, play games, download tv & movies (not uk yet), download demos, arcade games, meet up with mates and get extra game content. Sure you need points to buy some content but our games are free (excluding this) and demos are free too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cancellation Nightmare, 21 Oct 2007
By Mr. S. A. Brown "yentilsale1" (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I love Xbox Live, but I feel someone has to draw attention to the immoral sales tactics used with respects to cancellations. The only way to cancel is to phone a customer service number where you're kept on hold for a lengthy period of time and harassed by a customer service representative concerning your reasons for cancelling the service - why do I have to justify cancelling the service exactly? What's more, it took me several attempts to actually cancel my account (which is automatically renewed) because the operator had "no record" of my gamertag - despite my account still working perfectly.

This is completely unacceptable and quite frankly Microsoft have ruined a terrific service by opting for the gutter tactics of making it easy to sign up for an account but as difficult as possible to cancel. With this said, I love the product and I can only hope that if enough people complain or don't resubscribe - and I point blank refuse to resubscribe given the way I was treated - Microsoft will eventually change their sales tactics.
