Xbox Live Gamer Zone: Recreation
This zone is designed for casual gamers who just want to have fun.

You might be a recreation gamer if …

You only have one Xbox 360™, and it stays in the living room. For the most part.
You like to meet new people and talk about the latest movies, music, and (of course) video games.
You only venture into ranked games by accident.
You treat every day like Casual Friday.
You think keeping score is only fun when you're winning.
You are physically capable of leaving mid-game if you need A) food, B) a restroom, or C) to go to work.

Xbox Live Gamer Zone: Family
This zone is where those "kids of all ages" you're always hearing about can gather for family-friendly gaming.

You might be a family gamer if …

You require a parent and/or guardian to set up your Xbox Live account.
You're playing a game with your Mom/Grandma/rich Aunt and want to maintain a wholesome atmosphere.
Covenant Brutes give you nightmares, literally.
You have kids, are a kid, or never stopped being a kid.
You knitted four matching wireless controller cozies, one for each member of your household. With love, of course.


Xbox Live Gamer Zone: Pro
The Pro gamer is the truly hardcore—gamers who are there to play and to win, improving their gamerscore.

http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/7E021C15-3ED5-44EB-AC7D-F92F62935640/0/gamrZone_ProBlck_64.gif

You might be a pro gamer if …

You automatically mute the "human beat box" gamers and you automatically boot the "trash-talking chucklehead" gamers.
You've actually won real prize money in videogame competitions.
You never play anything but ranked games, and your rank has never gone anywhere but up.
You check leaderboards for games that aren't even playable online.
You own griefer insurance. Which, if you don't have it, is quite a deal and I would be happy to assist you if it existed.


Xbox Live Gamer Zone: Underground
The Underground is where anything goes—and usually does.

http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/D2BE9E21-1F58-4F1E-B417-1728814A372A/0/gamrZone_UndergroundBlck_64.gif

You might be an underground gamer if …

You are the "human beat box" or "trash-talking chucklehead" (and proud of it).
You rock with extreme vengeance and other totally intense buzzwords.
People shout "griefer!" and you say "Yeah, whaddaya want?"
You take out whole teams online. Including your team.
You'd rather get revenge than win.


So from saying all that I would but me in the Gamer Zone: Recreation

If I get serious into gaming online again (it's been years since I've been serious about it) I could probably go into Pro, not saying I'd win or anything, but I could play there and have fun. But right now I will probably start with Recreation


I just hope these Zones really get used the way they should. I have a feelin' those peckers that have more fun ruining everyone elses time is going to go into recreation. Guess will have to wait and see. Good idea by microsoft, unfortunately they have no control over the user actually using it.

Yeah. Just like team training, I foresee "recreation" being overrun by people who have no business there so that they can "Own" instead of playing a competitive game.

Where's the hacking/modding section? I don't do it but I can see that as a necessary category.

I'd say I'm pro, but I'm not obsessed with playing.

I think I'll go with pro at first but I might switch between pro and Underground quite a bit.

Somewhere between pro and recreational for me. I definitely prefer a competitive environment, so to choose one, I'd go with Pro, but I've never actually won any money, or tried to, and I've never checked a leaderboard for an offline game :P Certain games I do pursue online quite competitively though.

Games are too laggy for me to take seriously. So I just set mine to recreational. I do enjoy undergrounding it up though. If the only way to play is ranked games, I'll move up to pro, but otherwise I don't really care what zone I am in.
