xbox live is online gaming with your xbox or xbox 360. I have a Xbox 360 and play xbox live regularly. Ont he back of your console you have what looks like a phone plug. Thats your ethernet plug, you need to buy an ethernet cord long enough to get from your xbox to your computer. (there are wireless ones). Once you have connection you must pay for 1 month, 3 months, or 1 full year. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat77100050012&type=category (dont worry about "points" yet.) (Keep in mind if you have an Xbox 360 your first month is free.) For more information email me at canes_rool81@yahoo.com

Xbox Live is a service that lets you play with people on the internet on the games you have that are xbox live compatible.
To get it, go to Walmart or an online site and buy a monthly subscription card. They usually come in 3, 6, or 12 month subscription. They run about 30-100$.
After that, you will have to hook your xbox to an internet connection either through a router, or a direct connection.
You will have to go through a registration process, and you will be able to play people online.

Xbox Live is an online multiplayer gaming and content delivery system created and operated by Microsoft Corporation. It was first made available to the Xbox video game console in November 2002. An updated version of the service became available for the Xbox 360 console at that system's launch. "Live Anywhere", discussed below, makes certain aspects of the system available on other platforms such as PCs, handhelds and mobile phones.
Out of the box, the Xbox 360 supports voice chat through a headset, bundled with the Xbox 360 premium package, with the Xbox Live starter kit, or available separately. The headset is not bundled with the Australian or Mexican premium packages, instead being included with the Xbox Live 12 Month Subscription retail kit. The service includes a friends list of other users, as well as a mail-like system of either text or voice messages in which the user can take a picture with the Xbox Vision Camera and add it to the message to send to an online or offline user.
On the Xbox 360, whenever the user's console is powered on and is signed in to Xbox Live, the user's friends list and ability to send messages become available. On the original Xbox, this is only available in Xbox Live or Live Aware games. The system also reports what activity is currently being performed, so that one can see what a friend is doing on his or her console. This is typically the game being played, although the system supports more detailed information (the player's progress through the game, for example).
Online multiplayer features operating on Xbox Live do not expire and are always accessible by Xbox Live subscribers. Exceptions are online games that use Xbox Live merely as a portal to connect to external servers that are not part of Xbox Live, such as games published by Electronic Arts (which operate on EA servers instead of Xbox Live) and other games, such as MMORPGs, that require their own dedicated servers. Many EA games have had their online functions terminated by EA in order to force people to buy the latest version of a franchise title to access multiplayer online features.
