    Default heard anything about xbox live service?

    Does anyone know if xbox live will be free for the older xbox once the 360 comes out? i know it is supposed to become free for the 360, but my subscription just ran out and they want me to renew. Also, if you could provide me with a link to some info id appreciate it

    It wont be free for the 360, the free version of live sucks ass you don't get to play games.

    oh ok. cuz that sounded really dumb. to offer up a service like that and not allow the users to play online. unless its only for chat purposes since its free.

    Electronic Gamin Monthly, "XboX live Silver service, you will be able to have a friends list and communicate with them but not play games"

    Gold version is the one where you get to play games.

    Research it for yourself if my word isn't enough for you.

    EDIT>http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox360/onlinespecs.htm

    Good job trying to make me looks stupid. Can you say backfire?

    I have actually read that the free version didn't let you play online. I'll admit I didn't pay much attention to the article though...I have little interest in the 360.

    EDIT: That's where I read it too, Viv

    i wonder if it'll be the same thing on the 360. only CERTAIN games will be played on live free. cuz thats really a main reason why i'm most likely gonna get that machine, for its online features.
