well if you are planning on getting it for halo your going to be disappointed. halo doesn't support xbl. halo 2 will though and so do many other good games. it's only $50 a year. i spend more than that on pop and coffee.

and yes it is worth the $50.

you can use xbox connect to play halo 1 online. just a little more difficult to setup and a little laggy at times. personally i used xbox connect like twice. but since i got xbl thats all i use. play a lot of rainbow six

no such thing as a stupid question.

check the Sticky above called playing halo online. it details exactly how you can play halo online. if you need any more help PM me. if you get online let me know and maybe we can hook up and shoot it out sometime. i use xbox connect and go by focused7.

I would buy it. And once you have it,,,its good to find games that cime with a two month free trial of XBL so when your subscription is over you can play more....I have and extra 8 months.

doesn't work that way. unless your are planning on creating a new account every two months. the two free months are for new subscribers only. you might also want to check the expiration date on those. i had a couple sitting here just waiting to get broadband. by the time i got broadband they had already expired.
