Actually, I agree with you. Less than $1 a week is practically free (I am talking about adults here, who cares what children think a lot of money is). I play Halo 2 on LIVE and some of the other games I own.
I also spend about twice that amount of time on KAI as well, and really enjoy lag free games there.
Playing online can be done fine with KAI (go get it if you don't already have it), but LIVE isn't just playing online for some games like Halo 2, there is actually pretty cool additional features that I think is well worth the $50 a year. Of course with the 360, I will probably just stick with a Silver LIVE account, because weekends will be good enough for me to get my LIVE cravings satisfied.

you are aware that theres a 99% chance your misunderstanding the free weekends thing right? its not free weekends, its some free weekends that will probably be exceptionally rare, kind of like how every now and then you get hbo and cinemax for free for a weekend. if you want to play live more then 1 weekend a year, your going to need gold

I have an account and I love it. $50 a year isn't that much money (just over $4 a month). It's worth it.
I don't play it enough though. I used to play on XBC a lot. I think Xbox Live isn't as personal as the other programs. On XBC we would play with the same group of people for hours sometimes. On Live, people don't even stay to look at the stats.
All in all though, Live is better and worth the money.

I used XBC exclusively with Halo 1 and then I went to Xbox Live for Halo 2 and it was so much nicer without lag and such (of course most of the lag issues is inherent to the design of Halo 1 vs 2).
Getting into a game is so quick and easy with XB Live - makes it nice to sit and play a few quick games. However, all this talk about Kai makes me want to give it a shot...

If they added a server browser or something of the sort in addition to Nazimatch I still don't really see why they charge 50$ - whatever Xbox Live offers has been around for free in PC games/PS2 games.
Maybe the 360 with the extra services like downloadable trailers and the like will make it legit - but until then I have stopped being a dumb nub and giving them money for cheater infested gaming. You cant even vote out cheaters? A sytem like that is tailor made for jerks because you have no choice but to play with them.

huh... I think that paying for Live is crap... I mean... I'v tried it... I think it's pretty cool, but i'd never pay for it.
Xlink is the way to go:D
it's free, except for the internet connection of course... and it's been fairly lag free for me.
I think that live was just a money grab. I don't much care for that, I rather spend my money on something better, like... a charity of some sort.
i pay enough for my Xbox, the games, and my internet connection, i don't think i need to pay an extra $6.70 for a subscription to live.
and plus, I'm usually playing with my buddies from my own town... so that makes it better for lag n' such...
I'v got a bunch more to say, but I'm tired and hungry... so i'm gunna go complain about that for a ittle bit... then I'll probably get over it or do something about it, lol.

It's funny to hear people complain about the cost, and how they use XBC, etc.
The cost, to me, is not a problem because the matchmaking in Halo 2 is more than worth it!
Just my opinion, though.

I got it and played like 2 months out of 12 of the pre pay boxy thing...I have keep forgeting to cancel the account after I chipped my box. I was addicted to playing DDR on XBL for a while though. That was the only cool thing to me, on all the other games I played the people where total tards and I could not stand the kids that cursed worse than the people I work with when I'm just trying to have a good time.

My main reason not to get it is that I live in an area with no real good internet. A fiber line is in progress of being laid down in the ocean (I live on an island) and that got pushed back to spring/summer 2006... So I'm probably just going to end up buying XBL then, and save the money for something else until then.

I got ADSL just for live. and i was so friggin' excited about getting it, I had saved up the money for my XBL connection and everything. My ADSL was connected on a friday night, i had it set up by the saturday morning, and when i went to get my XBL pack, they told me i HAD to have a credit card for it.
Now I have a 12 month contract for ADSL that I cant use for what i originally intended because the bastiges say I have to have a credit card. My brother got one and offered it to me for use just to get on, but now X360 will be out shortly, and so I want to save my pennies for that instead. Yay for playing an outdated service that nobody's on anymore, i can see it now
Halo2 - Players: 1 - BobJim17
Halo3 - Players: 434,720 - Everyone Else.
And dont even get me started on the cheating, although I have never played on XBL, for there to be ANY cheaters on a paid service is disgusting. Bungie have really let themselves, and all their loyal fans, down with that. The fact it rages unchecked astounds me.
Not that I find Kai any better, i always suffer from horrendous lag (compared to normal playing, not game-to-game comparison) and there are so many cheaters on the rare occasions i can find a playable game, that im sure to become bored before long. Not that i mind getting my arse kicked, thats what makes me a better player, but to have three seconds of life? no thanks.
Anyway, just my two cents.
