hi,
i think xbox live will b the best. i'm even buying broadband 4 when it somes out. sony's plan takes 2 much money 4 all the excesories xbox already comes with, and gamecube just plain sucks, so the choice is easy. am i the only i who's getting the communicater, year free service, and fre game deal @ eb? it's only 50$, so it's totally worth it

Thanks, Great Post -- It really highlights the differences and the serious raw power of XBox Live over Sony and Nintendo.

hey, very nice job.

if you compare them side to side, you realize real quick that neither ps2 or gc can compare to what xbox live is going to be.

Hey thanks, all that info was listed in the Ausust issue of the Official XBOX Mag, I didn't have a scanner handy so I put the list together to share it with our fellow XBAddicts...

I must say at the time the list was put together it really shows how MS is committed to online gaming! It seems that Sony and Nintendo are taking the 'wait and see' or 'follow the leader' approach due to all of the experience MS has with online gaming, etc. If all things go as planned, this is really going to be a breakthrough, damn i can't wait till XBLive.....

Glad you enjoyed it.:D

What other plans? all sony has coming is an adapter...... same with nintendo..... who fully supports adapters???

Xbox live! will be the best. This is the best idea for online gaming. I mean, why would you wana type during gameplay....That's lame. We have mouths, and that's why we use it.

*yawn* Good to hear that XBL will kick ass, but it's pretty obvious.

Cityson: What if you aren't able to use the Communicator? :rolleyes: I am sick and tired of this. Keyboard = Good idea for online gaming. Any sort of communication is welcomed to people who might not be able to use the Communicator on XBL. Y'know what. I think the developers will be as thick as some people here and won't allow for the keyboards. It's pretty much evident that alot of people seem to think that everybody in the world can talk. That, or we all love ignorance... again.

personally i think gamespy and xbconnect is the best when it comes to money(no money at all),and i think xbox live will be best when it comes to features.so i can't really say which one's the best.

Xbconnect and Gamespy require at least 128kb per console... XBL is supposed to only require 64kb, not per console, 64kb period......

Xbconnect, and Gamespy fake the xbox into thinking its on a LAN with other xboxs, this network coding requires a lot of bandwidth. This is why there is 128kbit required per console. The added LAN tricking code plus the xbox's own network protocols.. so in other words, XBL will be better and this is why it will be broadband only.. sorry dial up users.
