Do we need Live?

[Graffiti Matrix]

Will we need Xbox Live to play Xbox online? Or will we be able to use our current ISP, like AOL, or Earthlink, etc etc? Because I'm guessing Xbox live isn't going to be free. I liked playing games online for DC, and I didn't have to pay more with using Sega Net since I had Earthlink.

So does anyone know if we will be able to use our own ISP so it won't cost us anything?

You can still play system link games online for free (of course you pay for your isp service though). Being a n00b isn't a crime either.
