Recommended Xbox Live Pack
Xbox Live Pack. You will get the best value as you go for the Gold and enter the online multiplayer gaming arena. Millions of gamers are online to meet, chat, play, strategize and compete together. With an Xbox Live Gold subscription you can get the most out of Xbox LIVE including online play, text, voice and video chat as well as access to exclusive game content. You’ll also have access to instant streaming from Netflix*.
Xbox Live also comes in some package as Xbox 360 Live Pack. Below are the most popular ones.
Xbox 12 Month Live Pack
Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Messenger Gold Pack
Xbox LIVE® 12-month Messenger Gold Pack includes:
- 12 Month Gold Subscription to play online.
- Chat Pad that attaches to your xbox controller for easy texting.
- Xbox 360 Wired Headset for voice chat.
- Added Bonus – Full PGR® 4 game included.
If you price out the individual items in this kit it is well worth the price. MSRP on a 12 month Live subscription is $50 alone, so for another $20 (MSRP of $70) to get a headset, keyboard, and Project Gotham Racing is a steal. Of course Amazon’s price is better than MSRP so you save even more. Even if you aren’t interested in the game, you still get a great deal for the Gold membership, keyboard, and headset.
Trying to play a voice enabled game without a headset is torture. It is highly frustrating hearing other players and not being able to talk back to them. Typing a message is also painfully slow using the on-screen keyboard. If you’re going to play on Xbox Live, you need this kit to begin with as it will get you started with everything you need at a great deal.
Xbox 360 Live Pack
Xbox 360 60GB LIVE Starter Pack
The 60GB LIVE Starter Pack provides an easy and affordable option for Arcade console owners to upgrade to multiplayer gaming and Marketplace content downloads on Xbox LIVE. 60GB Hard Drive attaches easily to your xbox 360 console and lets you save games, download Marketplace extras, watch movies and TV shows, and more. Three-month subscription to Xbox LIVE lets you jump into the world of multiplayer gaming. Ethernet Cable connects to your existing high-speed Internet connection. Wired Headset lets you chat with friends and talk to online opponents.
The 20 gig is way too small if you play a lot of games and download a bunch of add-ons and arcade games. The 120 gig is a nice size, but the price is what kept me from getting one. Now, we have the 60 gig, a nice middle of the road hard drive that will store plenty of add-ons, arcade games, saves, and have room to install some like RE5 to drastically reduce the load times. And at 80 bucks, that’s a great deal.
