How To Get Started with Xbox

All you need to get started playing with an Xbox is an Xbox, an Xbox Live starter kit, Xbox Live enabled games, and high speed Internet. Follow these instructions in order:

First off, you will need around $350.00: Xbox ($200), Xbox 12- month subscription card ($50), and a couple of Xbox Live enabled games ($100). There may be sales for the original Xbox due to the Xbox 360 having come out, so you may be able to pay less than $200.00.
Buy an Xbox. Look for some great deals and maybe you could get a deal for $100.
Purchase an Xbox Live subscription card. I prefer the 12-month subscription, but if you want to go for fewer months, go right ahead.
High speed Internet is required for Internet gaming. You will need it because you need to hook up your cord that goes from your Xbox to your cable modem.
This step is one of the most fun steps of getting started with your Xbox: You get to pick any game you want to play through Xbox Live! There are a limited number of games for it. You can identify these Xbox enabled games by looking at the top part of the case of the Xbox game. There will be a gold line running horizontally below the 'Xbox' sign at the top. On that line will read "Xbox Enabled Game."
Insert the game disk into the disk drive and close the drive.
The game will start and when everything is connected, there you go! You are set and ready to play!
There are some accessories you can purchase that help your game-play. You can purchase headsets, text messaging keyboards, and many other items.
Xbox Live is an amazing thing. You can play with people all around the world, get ranks, find friends, and lots of other cool features.
I hope you all enjoyed learning about Xbox Live and hope you have fun using it!
