Well Xboxlive is for you then. You get four zones to choose from. Recreation, Pro, Family, and Underground. So you can choose what type of player you want to be; and the category you will be in so your matched up against the same type player. It's all very user friendly.
It's very easy to setup up. All very straight forward, all you need is a broadband connection. I have a 3meg down and 384k up connection(Although I only seem to get 2 meg down). (Boo windstream j/k) anyways, seems to work fine for the most part. Of course latency can be an issue, but this all depends on your ISP.
Well worth the money. Also if your going to get this, you may as well get a router. Make sure you get one that is Xboxlive compliant, so you can plug and go, with no NAT problems.
I have a router that is not friendly toward my Xbox360/live and causes some difficulties with the NAT no matter what I do. so to keep from having to switch your broadband connection back and fourth between your PC and Xbox 360 (It gets old) and you have no NAT problems, get an xboxlive compliant router. (There seems to be a lot, probably find a good deal here on amazon)
Xbox Live's main function is that it allows you to play the games you bought online, if the feature is included. For instance if you bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the single player campaign is only 6-8 hours long. Pretty short for a game that is costing you $60. With Xbox Live, you can now play that game against people all over the world for 100s of hours if you like. In essence, Live can extend the life of a game pretty dramatically.
Another cool feature is the access to Microsoft's Marketplace. Here you can buy Xbox Live Arcade games like Bejeweled, download demos of games released or soon to be released for free, rent/buy movies, buy DLC content for you games, etc.
Also Live has a ton of community features like Facebook, Last.fm, Twitter, friend list and voice chat. Voice chat is great because while playing a game, you can talk to your friend without having to use your cellphone minutes. You do not even need to be playing the same game to chat which is great. Just pick your friend out from friend list and start chatting.
While Live is great, there is a major problem that parents should know. Every game played online has voice chat enabled. This can lead to some players being complete jerks where they will use foul, vile language that is not suitable for kids. I guess some players find it funny to talk like sailors, but it can get very offensive. Now I play mostly Mature rated games so I assume this is not a problem for kid games, but it is an issue that parents need to know. Always be sure to check the ESRB ratings found in front of games before buying.
Live is a great feature that is definitely worth paying for so keep your eyes open for when retailers like Amazon have these cards on sale. See you online.
So once again, only under the following circumstances should you not renew. You play WOT on xbox 360. You want the Pz. II J. You don't mind that it is the nerfed version of the tank. Otherwise for the other 99.99% of people, this is a no brainer.
Solution! Don't use normal shipping. I mean, wow. It's not that hard to figure out. I mean with the one day shipping (ironically it takes three) You have to pay roughly ten dollars, wait a second... How much does it cost at the store? Oh that's right! Ten dollars more! So I guess I'll buy it at Wal-Mart or Target right?
But wait! You get a FREE MONTH from Amazon! Which is eight dollars if you buy an extra one month card at the store. So technically, you're still saving money, AND you don't have to move from your computer screen/living room couch! (Eventually you'll have to eat, but that's not my problem.)
So basically what I'm saying is, choose a quicker shipping option and buy it from Amazon, THE best internet shopping center. I've never had any problems with this site, and you can find some great deals, like this one!
