Question Relating to XBox - Blizzard Sector

**Siluru** · 01-02-2005, 08:43 AM

Ok, I was searching for information on XBox Live, and I found out that there is also a XBox Connect and a Xlink Kai. Now I'm just as curious as to which one is better/ XConnect and XKai already have a + because there free, but which one of the 3 is better? And on Kai and Connect do you run it on your computer or on the XBox itself?

I dont know but i always take the original, Xbox Connect.

**Siluru** · 01-02-2005, 07:35 PM

I thought XBox Live was the original? And if I may ask, what did you need to hook up your xbox to your computer?

**Karant** · 01-02-2005, 09:19 PM

Well, I reccommend going with Xbox Live because it's official and the original. It also depends which game your particularly getting it for. Halo is known to have a bad frame rate over Xbox Connect so thats a big minus.

how do u sucscribe for connect is it diff from live? cause free sounds good. o and how much does xbox live cost monthly after free trail period ne 1 no

**Karant** · 01-02-2005, 09:46 PM

I don't know much at all about the whole Xbox Underground scene and I'm sorry, but I don't know any resources or anyone that can help you. Also, please do not discuss this too much in this forum. Officials get mad at underground oriented stuff.

u shuld get xbox live only if u can play alot or else ur just wasting it

Xbox Connect and Kai require you to have both your xbox + your cpu hooked up either on a modem or the computer itself together. Goodside its free and you can play games like the original Halo on it. Bad sides No Headsets used, Mostly Laggy games. Xbox Live Good sides- Headsets, Friends Lists (Although Kai has one) Clans, Matchmaking (Ranked Games), More people online at a time, Overall better experience. Badside- Costs money, its just 50 a year which is like nothing, its not even 5$ a month. Come on you cant tell me you couldnt afford that.

Well, this is a late reply on my part but, no, that's not expensive at all. You can play any XBL game you want anytime you want for just 50 dollars a year. You can easily make it worth it.
