Xbox Live

[matc]

Gents,

I've been playng Forza on my own since it was launched and think I'm ok at it now, I was thinking about coming to play online but still think £40 for Live is a ripoff!! Do you think MS will make it free when the launch the Xbox Elite? If I do end up paying for it where's the cheapest I can get it? Also do I really need a headset?

Thanks

Nope, not free.

Pay £5 a month, it's more but because we discount the future, it seems less.

Yes you need a headet, otherwise we all abuse you.

You can get a 12month xbox gold thingymabob from Play.com for £35. Or, if you're a gambling man check ebay.

£5 a month seems like the way forward!! Do you need to have a 12 month contract? Where do I get a headset from?

If you pay £40 upfront it works out at £3.34 per month. For the amount of entertainment you get out of it I think it's well worth the price of 3 bottles of water and a bag of Walkers!

(Or 1 pint in London!)

Cough up the £40, get a mike and get on it!

or http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/57552... for £35, sometimes they bundle with games I paid £25 when I got GOW at the same time.

matc - didn't you get a headset with the 360? Or did you get the Core version?
Comes as standard with the Premium.
Got a brand new, unopened, spare one if you want it - e-mail me.

I got the Premium version and only just realised it's in the box!! Thanks very much for the offer though.

Thanks

No probs.
Was wondering if you'd forgotten it was in the box, since very few people bother with the Core.

the £40 for live is honestly an absolute bargain for a full year... playing on-line is brilliant fun and you also get to try out all of the new games via demo downloads
