What makes it special? What makes Xbox Live worth it?

It is a very well integrated community and something that Microsoft is constantly investing in. Apps are tailored to the TV experience and generally nicer to use from a family room environment. And for $99.99 per year for myself and 3 sons it is a good deal even before I get discounted cards like the 2 I picked up for $40 each at Walmart this week.

You just described a big fat rip off, my friend.

 

 

Even AOL back when they were ripping people off in the 90's...even they allowed you to have several profiles per paid account.

 

I can't believe that people get ripped like this and then grin and smile, and pretend getting ripped off is a great deal.   Unbelievable.

If you use XBL it's not a rip off. Specifically if you want to play online games with your friends who also have a 360 or want to play Halo 3/Reach/Anniversary/Wars (which you can't play anywhere else)
