I'm wondering if anyone else enjoys using xbox live! as much as I do.

I wasn't such a fan of v1 for the xbox, but the 360 version just seems to have added so much and made it quite a bit easier for aspects.

There's just so much I like about it, and the social aspects which are now being integrated in Vista. Hopefully that it's a step towards Windows Live! also providing games with things like achievements and such.

Would be interesting to see who else likes, the whole Live! experience and if they'd want to see something similar for Windows.
Being able to talk to people on xbox live! over msn for me would be awesome.. but then being able to just check to see how good you are on each of the games as well.

Perhaps have integration so that stuff like DBP could be Live! enabled. I mean that would be pretty cool being able to work on code interactively (like you can with AppleScript) over the internet while at the same time also being able to chat in msn without having hundreds of windows across the screen.

I use the shared folder system quite a bit with a few people who are also on msn live! which definately makes giving them files or showing them updates on new work so much easier than risking sending it as a file which often if too large cuts out.

Does anyone else like the new live! interactive nature, and what sort of things do you like the most about it? I would love to see a unified system like that on windows, that interacts with the 360.

Like the upcoming Live Anywhere?

Anyways I love the whole integration of the system into every game, the gamerscore functionality (it motivates me to play games more),etc.

I liked Live before the 360 (and still do) but only because I play halo 2.

Its definatly an organised and efficeint system indeed well worth the annual cost.

Yeah, I've seen Live! Anywhere. It's a good concept but only being released for Vista unfortunately. I wouldn't mind paying a subscription like I do for XBL, but on the flip side... I wouldn't want to have to pay twice for the same service on xbox and windows.

I like Xbox Live too-- just can't get enough of getting achievements. In fact, since they had to make custome emulators for each of the original Xbox games, it would have been nice if they added hooks so we could get achievements for them, too. Oh well

But yes, I have purchased so many Live Arcade games on impulse, just so I could get some of the achievements. Games like PGR3 keep me coming back so I can get the cooler ones (i.e. Ferrari owners club, etc.).
