Because theres LOADS more features on live than xlink etc... (i have xlink too but its pony , just use it for my copied games)


for example on Forza....

in career mode, EVERY race you complete is uploaded to the live scoreboards so you can check your driver ranking/ times against the best in the world ... instantly..

Hotlaps ... you can download setups and ghosts from the scoreboards and put them on your tuned cars and WHUP ASS (im 13th in the world in C CLASS )

the online racing experience is just MASSIVE, you race for career points/credits, and the all important ELO (world driver ranking)


trust me m8, if you had XBOX LIVE, you wouldn't use any tunneling software again (ie xlink/xbconnect)


£40 a year aint exactly much either for a whole new experience in your games.




oh and my local Game store was doing the xbox live starter kit for £19.99
