I have it and so does my son and it cost about £2 each because I bought all the original Xbox subscription packs I could find that stores were getting rid of when the Xbox360 live subscriptions came out.
People just didn't seem to know the old Xbox cards work exactly the same as the Xbox360 cards and I sold the remaining ones for a massive profit on Ebay.

Having said all that £30-£40 per year for Xbox live is nothing to pay, some people pay that every month on a Sky TV or mobile phone package.

DAM I missed that trick.  I bought 13 months off Ebay for £27 which is pretty good value.

So yes I have a Gold account.

After my free trial ran out I realised it was essential for playing online, previously I had only played PC games online but the 360 provided a much easier and quicker way of connecting to and playing with friends.

Downloading and using live services is generally excellent, however game servers can be hit and miss.  Battlefield: Bad Comapny regulary has huge problems and more recently I have not been able to connect to any Gears Of War 2 games .

I would like to see more content available.
