About Xbox live:
I have been a member of Xbox live for over 10 years now and love it. Xbox live is one of the best ways to interact with people. I have met some of my best friends on Xbox Live. There are some annoying jerks that talk trash from time to time, but you can't keep people from speaking their minds. For what you get, it is very much affordable. I found it funny when people gave Xbox live a bad rating because it caused them to to drop loads of money into it for their kids... That isn't really a justifiable excuse to give a 1 star rating. I wouldn't allow younger children to interact or talk as much online for what some people say or how they act. It can be regulated for younger children but in my opinion more for adults. It is well worth the money, especially with all of the applications and features that have been added over the years. You can even buy digital copies of games that often are cheaper than buying them at the store. Again, love Xbox live.
Other complaints I would like to address:
People complain about the fact that to have Xbox live, they require a credit card. They don't randomly charge your card, part of it is for account recovery, and it makes purchasing anything on Xbox live easier. There has not been problems with credit card theft on the 360's Xbox live.
People also complain that you have to pay. That you can play the same games (not true - halo, gears of war, etc) for free on pc or ps3. The thing is, you are paying for security, better servers that don't have as much lag, and a tremendous amount of features that the others systems don't provide. The ps3 servers for example, were hacked, more than once. The servers are not nearly as efficient either. This is all from experience. No matter what, a PC will almost always be better than a console in any respect, so they shouldn't even be compared. Consoles are a much more affordable way to have good games run well. You can easily drop $1500-$5000 on a gaming pc, I built one myself last summer. If you are unsure if you want to pay for it, don't buy a whole year, buy a one or three month pass, try it out, and see if you like it.
As for the XBox Live service itself, I love it. Having a Netflix subscription I can stream movies/TV sessions through the XBox 360 (some even in HD) straight to my TV with any of the unlimited plans. This in and of itself is worth the small fee and is how I convinced my wife that it was worth getting even though we are on a tight budget right now ;). The ability to play with my personal friends who live in other states without having to travel hours to see them is just to good to pass up. Even though nothing beats being able to play video games in the same room as your buddies, online is still great fun and a perfect alternative for those who live too far away to visit regularly. If you really want to see everything that you get with an XBox Live subscription just check out wikipedia ([...]) which it gives a good listing of everything you really get by having an XBox Live subscription. In my honest opinion, it is worth it.
