Creative live! Cam video IM pro

Advantages: Great quality picture and video
Disadvantages: Quite pricey compared to other webcams

... Overview I brought my Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro last year (2006) around about the Easter period as I had been using the MSN messenger service for quite a while and a lot of my friends and family had them and so I thought that it was about time I got one too. Price I first brought my Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro at a PC world in Canterbury, it cost me about £30, however this was quite a while ago and I have looked around and on the internet I have found the same webcam for around about £20 so do your home work first. Picture The Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro can take photos at an incredible 1.3 mega pixels which is one of the highest quality still picture capture for webcams and you'll be hard pressed to find better. Video There is additional free software that comes with this...

Review of Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro

Live and let Live.

Advantages: Online multiplayer, priviledges downloads
Disadvantages: Price a little daunting at first, additional hardware required, PS3 online is free

...What is Xbox Live: Xbox Live is the online service for players of the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. Xbox Live Silver is free to all users and gives some limited facilities. With a Silver account you can accumulate a reputation by achieving goals within games. These are own on your Gamercard and allow other users to see how experienced a gamer you are. With a Silver account, you can also download game demos, trailers, and event videos. Some games have the ability to upload performance based stats like lap times etc. to online leaderboards.

Gold gives you all the benefits of Silver, however you have access to marketplace items days, and sometimes weeks before the rest. The biggest benefit of purchasing a Gold subscription is that it opens up the full...

Creative Live! Cam Video IM - good cam

Advantages: simplicity, price
Disadvantages: none for this price range

...I have received this camera from my parents for my birthday year ago. It's my first camera in whole life and have to tell you that I'm not going to change it. Video resolution 800 to 600 pixels is absolutely fine for having a good videoconference. Does quite well when is dark. Have very interesting software which recognises main point on your faces and thanks to it you can choose a mask, hat, sombrero, moustache or one of huge number of them. They will follow your face. It's a bit fun  Quality of pictures is not great but let's be hones - who is using pc camera to do high quality shoots?? Design is satisfying same way as special stand. Can be placed on top of CRT monitor as well as LCD (that's the one I use). Its good value for money, simply to use and install, Newest software, drivers and masks are available...

Review of Creative Live! Cam Video IM

Live Review

Advantages: Play with friends all around the world.
Disadvantages: Only lasts for 1 year.

...The live 12 month gold card enables the player to play online for a year. When i first received it i accessed it very quickly and was surprised to see how easily i was able to get online and play with millions of people all around the world. All i needed to do was enter the code and i could start playing. The benefits of going live is mainly playing against people all around the world and making new friends. But if you are a hardcore gamer, this is the perfect place to be as you get to challenge the best around the world and you even get ranked. What's more is that you can even download exclusive things only from the xbox live marketplace where you can't get from anywhere else. Overall: A must get for all xbox 360 owners. It completes the console and makes the xbxo 360 that much better....

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox live

Advantages: Online gaming, good value, networking
Disadvantages: Some lag, temptation to spend more money on extras

...Xbox Live is good value compared to some other online subscriptions e.g. World of Warcradt or Everquest as with these you pay everymonth just for one game, whereas with xbox live you only pay once to go online with pretty much all your games. You then get tempted, however, to pay for extra online contect such as extra levels, characters, backdrops for your xbox live dashboard, arcade games etc. etc. So it's never as cheap as it seems! The service on xbox live is good and it's rare to have connection issues so gameplat online tends to be smooth. Occasionally you may shoot at someone only to find they already moved- lag is rare but does happen and can be annoying. The range of games that can be played online is excellent, and isn't just shooting and fighting! Guitar hero plays online brilliantly with options for guitar battles...

Xbox Live is all Gold!

Advantages: the best online community ever!
Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play

...online and play with a friend who owns the game and we can work together and help each other out in finishing the game. - On xbox live you can also have your very own friends list which with the gold membership shows you a list of your friends along with their gamertag, picture, catch line and you ca n then read information about them and compare your games with them and loads of other stuff. You can also see your own statistics about how other members find you - a good player or someone who leaves early? You can also send messages, videos and voice messages to all your friends! Price: £34.99 from play.com for 12 months membership £12.99 for 3 months (play.com) - which would work out at £51.96 for a year In my view it is definitely better to go for the gold membership than the free silver as you get so much more and can...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...Introduction Xbox live is the name of the Microsofts online service for the Xbox 360. This service gives you access to a vast array of content, some of it free, and some of it at a price. There are 2 types of membership available, namely Gold and Silver. Silver is a free membership which is available to all Xbox owners. Silver allows you access to most promotional video and feature content via the 360 dashboard but does not allow you to play games online. So what is so special then about Xbox live? The Playstation Network is free, the Wii gives free access to its limited catalogue of online games and seeing as the Silver Xbox Live is also free, why bother paying what seems like a high amount for the Gold membership. These were my own personal sentiments when I first bought my Xbox. Coming from the Wii, I was horrified when...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox live super fun.

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Expensive

...If you have a Xbox 360, chances are youll be wanting to purchase one of these! Xbox Live is the leading service for online experiences on gaming consoles, there are tons of arcade games you can purchase, films to rent, tv episodes to buy - the fun is endless. It should be noted that in order to use this code you need to be able to connect to the internet with your xbox, either by wireless or ethernet. This 'card' contains a code which you enter on the xbox to enable you to play online with thousands of other gamers. It costs around £35, unlike the PS3 which is free to play online. But as I and many others agree Xbox Live is far superior and worth every penny. A word of advice, go careful when scratching the code, scratch too hard and code becomes unreadable (There is no way to get your money back!) This card is for gold membership...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Enables full use of Xbox Live

Advantages: Play games online over xbox live with thousands of other players
Disadvantages: annual fee

...Member content. * Engage in video chat (scheduled for 2006). * Enjoy all the Xbox Live Silver features (below). Upgrading to Xbox Live Gold is very simple, just follow the instructions on the card itself after purchasing. Xbox Live requires a Broadband internet connection and a Xbox 360 storage device (Hard Drive or Memory unit). I would recommend Xbox Live Gold to anyone who hasnt already upgraded, it adds a whole new level to all your games. - Hope this review helped, thanks....
