Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...your friends to regardless of what game they are playing. This means you could have 5 or 6 of your mates online, all playing different games but still able to chat with each other across the Xbox Live service. The party function also works if you are all playing the same game although, if you are in this channel, you will not be able to speak to your opponent directly if they are not in the party. Netflix Movies If you are already a member of Netflix, who personally I have not heard of, you are able to watch a vast array of movies and tv programmes via your Xbox, free of charge. These videos are streamed directly onto the Xbox. As I am not a Netflix member and am not prepared to use the pay per view option, I am unable to comment any further on this feature.

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

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 Gold Overview/Review

Advantages: Many Features! Cheap
Disadvantages: Needs Broadband Connetction

...If you have an xbox 360 i'm pretty sure you have at least tried Xbox Live Gold. If not I'll give you a run through. Xbox Live is a place where the gaming community can get together. They can play nearly every game online with each other and communicate even if not on the same game. There are two levels of xbox live. Xbox live gold (which averages out to £3.33 a month) and Xbox Live Silver (averages out about 0p a billion years!) I'll simply give you the differences available: Xbox Gold: You can play online on any game You can download everything from the xbox live marketplace With silver you can talk to friends, use MSN messenger, download but not play online whenever you want. Xbox Live has plenty of features I will now tell you what these our. The Xbox Live Marketplace: The xbox live market place is basicly...

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...

Advantages: versatile indie punk rock
Disadvantages: some more difficult tracks

...profitable or secure. ?Ssuperstar Tradesman stand at the bar, get a trade son you'll go far? Kyle sings rolling his rs like a trooper. . On this track alongside others his vocals sort of remind me of Kelly Jones from the Stereophonics. From one catchy slice of indie pop rock to another ?Same Jeans? a song about being scruffy and trying not to be an embarrassment is probably the View's most famous song. mid paced with a nice harmonica riff and a chorus reminiscent of Cornershop's ?Brimful of Asha?. I especially love the ending live when the song is speed ed up and goes a bit frantic as the cymbals are crashed and the guitar gets more manic. Some songs are more immediate than others. I really was not keen ?Skag Trendy? at first as it was totally different from the rest of the album but it has grown on me since but it is certainly...
