Chris Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Welcome to the official Xbox Live Topic. This topic basically serves to inform you about Xbox Live and allow you to contact fellow GTA Place members through it. What is Xbox Live? Xbox Live is an online gaming service for the Xbox/Xbox 360 video game console created and maintained by Microsoft. It has features such as Friends lists, game matchmaking, and video chat, and costs approximately $49.99 USD per year, or £40 in England. How do I get an account? To create an Xbox Live account, you need to make an Microsoft/Windows Live Passport. This can be done by going to any website that uses this feature, such as live.xbox.com, clicking the Sign-In button, and clicking Sign-Up. Once you have a Passport, you can create an Xbox Live account. You should then use the same method on Xbox.com and again click Register now. Choose your gamertag, gamerpic, and motto. These can all be changed later at any time, but changing your gamertag will cost you a fee. You will then link your gamertag to the Live Passport you just created. After that, choose whether you want an Xbox Live Gold (paid) or Silver (free) membership. I recommend getting Silver for now, as it can be upgraded at any time. Finally choose your preferences and favorites and you have your account. Xbox Live Gold Xbox Live Gold is the meat and potatoes of the service, and I highly recommend it, as you need it to play any game on Xbox Live against other people. The price, as mentioned above, can be paid in monthly, quarterly, and yearly installments. The monthly installments are approximately $7.99 USD per month, which is about $45 more than the yearly subscription. A credit card is not required for this. You can simply go to a retailer, such as Best Buy, and then enter the code on the card in your account on Xbox.com.

Kitsune Inferno Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) I don't have XBL anymore, but my gamertag used to be WarningNeo. Once I get it back, I'm changing it to something reminiscant of my old one. EDIT: And once I get Live back, say goodbye to yer butt in Saint's Row and DOA4.

Chris Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm not getting Saint's Row but in DOA4, sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Sure! Just let me get a new 360, broadband, and a new DOA4 disc, because mine is scratched to hell. Can't we just have an "official" Xbox Live thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well that's more or less the same thing as this anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy vercetti guy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I dont play XBL, too much of a rip off that you have to pay every month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well, at least you get quality online gaming with plenty of perks. In the US, I heard of some stores giving discounts and bonuses to those who print out their gamercard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Mines Chris82TheKid, I'll add you through Xbox.com, Chris. Pinned. I'd like to see TGTAP members interacting outside of the forums. BTW I only have Xbox Live silver right now, I still technically have slikdude12592 but I cancelled the renewal. It was a stupid long name for people to remember and I'd rather use my debit card to pay for it than ask my Mom every year for her card number. Oh and Saint's Row is a GTA clone with eye candy and no gameplay. Seriously lame. The taxi/paramedic/etc...missions are required to continue the storyline, and there's no aircraft whatsoever.

Chris Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 I accepted your friend request Also -"I'd like to see TGTAP members interacting outside of the forums" - has given me another idea for a topic. Check out The Lounge in a little while. Also if you know someone on the forums who has an xbox get them to this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I got a new idea for my new gamertag, because I'm sure not even going to attempt to recover it. How about Team WnN? And when I do get XBL back, I will be playing Saint's Row, PGR3, DOA4, and Halo 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris82 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 No. There are some downsides such as losers quitting just before the game ends, but that really isn't common anymore since we can give them negative feedback and it will be shown publicly. (x out of 5 star rating system for each player) Overall I like it and if you have the means, I highly recommend picking a 360 up. It is so choice. BTW Crimson accept my friends request.

Chris Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I ordered my Xbox 360 with Call of Duty 3 earlier this evening, so hopefully it'll get sent tomorrow, and arrive on thursday, or Friday maybe. Also bought Gears of War and PGR3. Thing is I won't be able to play it over the weekend as I won't be at home, which sort of sucks, anyway at least I'll be able to pwn you all soon.

Kitsune Inferno Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Like I said many times before, I have to buy a new 360. (I'm suspecting that those Dead Rising rumors are true.) But after I get a new one and broadband, I will either be pwning or be pwn3d on a regular basis. BTW, tvg. You only pay 5 bucks a month or 50 bucks a year. It is a pretty sweet deal.

Kitsune Inferno Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Hey, what Gamer Zone do you guys think I fall under? Family, Recreation, Pro, or Underground? Cause I think you guys would know if you paid attention to any of my posts. Eff it, I'm going with Underground.

Chris Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Wow my topic is radically changed. Nice. TEC 9 what's your gamertag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) I have to be honest. I don't have Xbox Live anymore. It used to be WarningNeo, but.....I'm not recovering my gamertag. When I am online again, I'm thinking something like TeAm WnN or something like that. Edited December 12, 2006 by TEC 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
