Xbox Live Upgraded Features Announced
>> From dailygame.net:

Quote:

Microsoft announced today the latest updates to the Xbox Live service. For those who haven't heard, the Live system has been and will continue to be down for the rest of the day for the upgrades.

Once it's back online, Xbox Live users will get to send electronic voicemail friend requests and voicemail game invites to one another.
As new games are developed, they can (at the developer's discretion) take advantage of new features:
* Teams: Gamers can create teams, or "clans" to share strategies, set up games and share other info.
* Competitions: The XSN concept moves to the console itself, as gamers won't need to use the XSN web site to set up tourneys for the games they love to play. Xbox Live will track the stats and keep gamers updated via their consoles on their current standings.
* Content sharing: Develop and share logos, maps and other content and share them through online storage.
* Level Playing Field technology: Anti-cheating measures can be employed by game developers to limit the effects of people dropping from a losing game or other weak ways of messing with the stats systems.

I actually use both, but I think it's worth the $6.50 a month. Then again, I never eat fast food (other than TOCA BELL!).

Why do you pay 6.50 a month?

Isn't it cheaper to pay 50 for the year?

Quall999 · #15 24-04-2004, 03:22

Not if I don't have time to play it one month. Alot of my free time is spent mapping for pc games instead of playing games. I might cancel my service next month, then restart it sometime later. august I will probably cancel it untill halo 2 comes out.

btw. last month, they only charged me $5.99, and only $3.33 the month before that lol
