Reasons To Join The Xbox Live Community
01/3/2009 - Internet
If you're considering becoming a member of the Xbox Live community but for some reason are holding back, consider this:
1) Xbox Live is the first online community designed especially for the Xbox 360. That means no more walking down to your local video game retailer to find your favorite Xbox games. You can get all of them online! And unlike the stores, the Xbox marketplace will never be sold out or tell you that a game is outdated, and they never close. Imagine-any game you want at your fingertips, 24 hours a day.
2) Xbox Live isn't just for gamers. Through the Xbox marketplace Xbox fans who want to enjoy the media options of their Xbox 360 without spending their entire life glued to a video game screen can enjoy streaming video through Netflix, movies, television shows and various other forms of media 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
3) Best of all, Xbox Live connects you an international community of Xbox fans who are just as serious about their 360 as you are. You have the chance to chat and get to know people from all over the world through Xbox's unique online chat feature, and if you choose to purchase a gold membership you can enjoy a multi-player experience with some of the best players on the globe. Imagine playing a game of Street Fighter with someone from Japan in the morning, Halo 2 with a player from France in the afternoon and Banjo-Kazooie with someone in the US right before bed. Multi-player games are what have made online MMORPGs so popular, and now you can enjoy them on your Xbox.
4) A basic membership in Xbox Live is free. That means unlike those other online games you can try out the Xbox online community for free, creating an avatar to represent yourself, posting your profile and finding your niche in the online gaming world of the Xbox 360 for free. If you decide you enjoy Xbox Live and you want to take the multi-player experience for a ride, simply purchase a gold membership. If you don't, you're not under any obligation to do anything else. End of story.
There are literally hundreds of reasons to join the Xbox Live community, but what it all comes down to is that whether you're a dedicated gamer, a weekend player or can't stand the feel of a controller in your hands, Xbox Live has something for everyone. It's the largest source of media for your Xbox 360 at the best price on the globe. Movies, television shows, chat rooms and the coolest games on the market all in one place for your Xbox gaming enjoyment, and you can try it out for free. What's not to like?
