online fun on the xbox.

ok so i have decided at long last to get online with my 360, however i has no clue what so ever what i'm doing. so i would like to know a little more about this product such as.

how to play online,
what can i get from games online that i can't offline?,
why do i have to buy xbox points?,
what the hell do xbox points get me exactly?,
and much more please do tell.

[To play online, you just buy a gold membership card from a store]

[you can play with others online, and you cant do that offline, simple as that. Also, some games allow you to purchase and download expansions if you go online]

[You do not HAVE to buy xbox points. Xbox points are what you CAN buy in order to download various things, like expansions for your games]

[Let me know if you need anything else]

wait so i buy the wireless router thingy get online and i can't play? unless i also buy a gold membership? that sounds like a bit of a rip to me 0_0

[Well, maybe the silver is needed for online, and gold for download. Its' set up something like that. Plus, gold isnt' really expensive, so don't worry. A monthly card will probably run you 15-20 bones, and a six month card would be like 70 or something. Shop around]

i saw a gold card for 12 months at i think it was £35 that good?

[Yes]

k then ill prolly get that then suppose that kicks out my idea of getting some groceries for a healtyh lunch then 0_0

but yea i know a few guys that are online non stop so i won't be alone but those guys are serious gamers ill be raped if i piss them off 0_0 and not in the fun girl wan'ts to play way either 0_0

[Yes, it is good to take some veterans with you]

yup ^^

I'm late as hell,but I feel like answering these questions anyway.

How do I play online?
-You have to have a gold account on x-box live.To do so,you can either register a credit card online from either the x-box,or www.microsoft.com. Or
you can get a gold card from your local video game store.After that it's a matter of accessing the online gameplay funtion from your game menu.

what can i get from games online that i can't offline?
-Acheivement points,and possibly some free packs that include stuff like costumes,free items,ect.

why do i have to buy xbox points?
-Because Microsoft is full of a bunch of money hungry assholes.That and you can't get arcade games,and certain expansion packs any other way.

what the hell do xbox points get me exactly?
-Xbox points translates to...wasted cash.You can buy acade games,expansion packs,wallpapers,and icons with these points.

I started a gamer tag thread so we can see eachother on Xbox Live. POST YO' GAMER TAG!

[hellz yeah. I'll post mine when I get one, if I get one, which I probably will once I have a 360, which will probably be February >_<]
