I've been connected to xbox live since 2008, not that much 6 years later after it launched. Although I knew before it existed but I didn't have the resources (internet, xbox) to get connected.

During the past 4 years it's been a new experience, knowing people around the world. Making friends and more.

What I can say is that I made my friends or mostly all "gamers" to get an Xbox 360, get Halo 3 and get connected to Xbox Live. I was the only one on my school back then with an xbox, and now they have it.

Thank you, Bungie, for setting the standard. Without you, we wouldn't have the Xbox LIVE we all know and love.

Has anyone mentioned that it's Halo's 11th Birthday, too? Woo!


*Releases fireworks*

OT: I can't believe the speed at which time is passing. I can still remember playing Halo 2 multiplayer. XBL has provided me with unfathomable memories and experiences. Here's a toast! May we enjoy another prosperous decade of gaming!

Here's to a decade of Xbox Live, thanks for giving us another way to stay in touch with old friends and make new ones at the same time.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Nice Deej.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Happy birthday.
Wow, ten years. I wonder what the next ten years will bring.

Xbox has obviously had a huge impact on me... I'm now in school for Game Design, and Halo was one of the main influences there =), along with many other Xbox titles and some PC titles too!

Met some really good guys who I've been chatting with for the past 4 years or so. One of them actually happens to live a few miles away from where we're looking at moving to. Had some great times mucking around on loads of games.

Кланяються мені!

I have had a lot of fun over the years, even though I have only been an Xbox Live member for 7 of those years. Of that time the earliest thing I became loving of was being able to connect with players thousands of miles away of all nationalities. I have made friends with many players that I no longer refer to by their gamertag. They are people that have gone from Xbox Live Friends, to just Friends with.

XBL is what made me a gamer. I played games on some older nintendo consoles, then I got 360 and played halo 3 and feel in love. However, I was still not a "gamer" that didn't happen until I purchased XBL 5 glorious years ago.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.



"I would kill to get a killionaire... 10 times... digitally."

Xbox Live has had an interesting effect on me. Before I tell you what, let me tell you about myself.

I am a white male in his mid-late teens, coming from an Upper-Middle class town (With a 90%+ population of White people, please don't take this as racist.) I wasn't rich, but I definitely have spent the vast majority of my life experiencing this one single culture. Before I discovered the Internet, I was as culturally diverse as an orangutan whose been locked in a metal box his whole life.

Xbox Live was one of the first experiences I had where I truly dealt with people from different areas and different cultures. I was suddenly conversing with people from different countries, even as far away as France. (Pro Tip: Google Translate is a -blam!-.) I learned a lot about different cultures, their people, and their circumstances. (Remember I come from a place where people almost never fall on true "hard times".)

I can confidently say Xbox Live helped to expand my mind culturally and gave me a broader view on life and the people of earth. The best part was I got to do this while having fun playing games. Plus it introduced me to the Bungie Community, which I am proud to be a part of, as well as a contributing member. This will probably be read by few people, and quickly buried, but know that Xbox Live was one of the greatest things ever invented and changed me for the better.

Awesome! I never would have gotten Live had it not been for Bungie and Halo 3. Damn it has been fun!

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Fixed.

I can't wait to play the same game with my friends that are die-hard Xbox fans, and others that are die-hard PC gamers.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Happy birthday, Xbox Live! I wish I could've been there in the first days for myself, but I only got to play Xbox Live at my friend's place until a couple of years ago. But still, I played Halo 2 and 3 with my friend for many, many years.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

I have no love for Xbox Live, paying in order to access all of the content on my games does not sit well with me. They also took Halo 2 multiplayer away from me, something I will never forgive Microsoft for.
