Yeah, theres a significant effect.
1. If they go online, most people want to play with their friends not random people over the internet.
2. If you pay $50 a year, you want to improve your experience so you tell your friends to get Xbox Live so you can play with them since it then makes your experience better.
Sometimes I wonder if Live is successful because of #2 for the same reason WoW is successful. Maybe WoW couldn't have been as big if it was free because there isn't the same incentive in getting your friends to play too.
Tease.
