Advantages: Play online with other players, download content

Disadvantages: You have to pay

Xbox Live is the online section of the Xbox 360 games console. Xbox Live gives you lots of benefits and really lets you get the most of the Xbox 360.
There are two levels of membership, Silver and Gold. Silver membership lets you download demos, talk to your friends and send messages to them and buy, download and update content through the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Gold membership lets you do all this and also has other bonuses including Xbox Live Parties which let you talk to your friends even if you are playing different games which is very handy, download new content up to a week before Silver members and most importantly be able to play games online with other players which makes nearly all games much more fun and increases their lifespan.

The only disadvantage about the service is you have to pay a small fee if you want to be a Gold member. This is about £35 online for a year and there are some sites that email you the code which are even cheaper! However with other consoles such as the Wii and PS3 online play is free.

Xbox Live however is much better and has many more features, a lot less lag and is normally quite quick. I think the fee is well worth it though as Xbox Live is better than the other online services with more players, better connections and speed, more features and it is updated often with new features such as Sky Player if you have Sky, Facebook and Twitter coming soon and the excellent new 1 vs 100!

Overall I think Xbox Live is brilliant and really improves your Xbox 360 experience with many good features and the ability to play your friends! The service is only down one or two days a year and that is when they are improving it! I really do recommend you get Xbox Live Gold membership if you like your Xbox 360!

5/5

Summary: Excellent service but you have to pay a small fee!
