Xbox 360 currently gives gamers the chance to communicate with each other, using the add-on feature that is Xbox Live. If you’re an Xbox Live member, you are automatically part of the chat list. So, you are able to chat and discuss anytime with friends and family through the Xbox 360 headset. In addition, you can also interact and plan a gaming match with thousands of other Xbox players.  Xbox  Live also lets you buy content in Xbox Live Marketplace, download extra videogame content and even watch preview trailers. 

If users are enticed by these features and want to become an Xbox Live member, there are two memberships to select from, divided into two distinct services – gold and silver. 

Initially, the silver service is just the free version of Xbox Live. Choosing this variation, gamers can easily get online and download games. Adding to this, you are given the facility to integrate their own voice to talk and meet with fellow Xbox Live gamers. However, this is all Xbox Live silver provides subscribers with. If you’re searching for the true Xbox Live experience, Xbox Live gold is what you need to go for. 

Next up, the Xbox Live Gold option has additional functions that make it an awesome way to game on the web. Apart from the incredible Xbox Live features, it provides gamers with a host of further add-ons. There’s improved chat compatability, as well as integration with many Microsoft products, including messenger and further chat and video programs. The most important feature of Xbox Live gold is the manner in which your internet avatar is displayed to the community.  Every account is allowed to form a different ‘motto’ showing to fellow gameplayers online, even linking them to Facebook.  Additionally, you’re also able to hold a record of your achievements. As you play more and more you gradually forge a rep, and if players like you they can rank you positively, making it simpler to avoid interacting with gamers holding negative outlook. 

Users can also create a friends list which will list your selected friends. It’ll also tell you when any of your friends come online. There’s also a player list which will record the last fifty friends that you have met. 

Xbox Live is as good as Xbox gaming gets.  It not only offers great gaming but also provides you with the chance to share your experiences with other players!
