Well, basically:

- Cross game invites
- Cross game private chatting
- More content
- Better features in games (CoD4, for example has dedicated leaderboard servers, so your friends don't have to be online to see their stats).
- More leaderboards (CoD4 on 360 has leaderboards for the Arcade mode, for example).
- The ability to see exactly what gametypes and maps people are playing (You can go over a friend in your friendslist and it will say "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Headquaters on Shipment")
- Cross game messaging
- Universal friends lists
- More DLC
- Achievements
- Player zones
- MSN Messenger support
- Headset standard with Premium and Elite consoles.
- Custom soundtracks.

Wow, someone being specific!!!!! thanks!

why is live better?

you can chat a lot easier with friends - on live or on msn messenger

you can download videos - they have free ones you can snag too (I got Voltron)

with gold, you get content first - like at e3, when they announce something, you can go on live and snag it.

there's this new feature that is like a newsletter. it highlights new content, major nelson's minute, spotlights live members and other things.

the interface - blades - is much, much easier to navigate.

the chatpad works well if you have smaller hands

you can download full xbox games - and the indie developer content is unreal. you can also download demos of all xbox live games - not necessarily retail game demos, but xbox live games. you can try it and decide if you want to buy it.

you can also buy points online without using your credit card

is it perfect? no. but it is pretty cool and easy to navigate.

thanks man.

see people? it actually isn't that difficult to be specific... Xbox 360 owners: anything they missed?

Edit:

you can also buy points online without using your credit card

you mean XBL cards? or is there some other way you can do it?

XBL points.  They're just like Wii Points and PSN cards--basically, you use your credit card to add points to your account that can be used to buy stuff, like XBLA games, movie rentals, or DLC.  I don't see how that one's so big, though, because PSN and Wii can do that, too...

 

@Retrasado:

Not in-game video chat (I don't think so, anyway), but dashboard videochat, as well as talking to friends who are playing different games than you.
