sure sony, and nintendo have online services (im also a sony online member for my ps3 ) i hear that the Nintendo wii service is a joke.then again so is the wii.(nintendo USED to make great systems) Microsoft has the best layout of all the online services i was up in running in less than five minutes.it adds SO MUCH dimension to your xbox 360 experience.its worth checking out. you also can download arcade and classic games such as castlevania, pac man, Street fighter and my fav the original TMNT 1989 arcade game. for me i tried the 3 month plan(but i know ill get the yearly membership now). try playing dead or alive 4 or street fighter online.its a great stress reliever. want to do a beat down. finally great net. First of all, when i had the original Xbox i never tried LIVE because i didnt have a good net connection at the time(sbc yahoo dsl ewww).then came along Comcast's high speed internet service, then i got hooked up. i FINALLY tried the xbox live service.and man was i hooked.
these are done with microsoft points you get 400 included in this pack(game money think of it like that) i know some people gripe about this but hey thats a part of life, and its not that bad. it made me think of xbox live more.then came the xbox360 launch, like millions of people who got a unit. i reccoment getting the gold membership, because not only do you get the option to play against people online ,you also get the option to download bonus game content for live enabled games such as weapons, maps(game backgrounds etc) or even characters, and lots more. also included is the headset to chat up and trash talk your opponants.its well built, but the sound echos a bit.
(80s kid here)Microsoft gives you numerous options to try out their xbox Live service. just watch out for that guy(or Girl) that spend their whole day on line you.ll get your rear handed to you on a platter.but thats part of the fun to a point.think of it as your own arcade. try playing halo 2 and 3 on this, same with gears of war 1 and 2.you wont regret it. remember those back in the day.
personally i prefer not using the headset its distracting sometimes, but its there is you want it.
Not like the oringinal headset, But it works very well. After a while your headset will go out. If your going to play online then this kit is just right for the money. So when you buy this kit, it comes with a headset. Good deal.
The mute button is on the cord, which I find very awkward to use during live game play. The box says 100 MS points, however, as previously stated, there are 400 points. Isn't too much of a review to write on here. The headset is not like the old one, where the mute button is close to the controller so you can easily switch the mute on and off. The previous reviewer stated that there was an echo, I'm not expert but i think that's due to having your TV too loud, I don't know.
The 3 three moth subscription worked well as did the 400 Microsoft points, but my headset echoes whatever the person I am talking to is saying. This gets very annoying and I cannot concentrate on the game.
