How to get our Xbox online

How to get our Xbox online? At first, we should make clear that what are Xbox 360 and Xbox live? Xbox 360, created by Microsoft Corporation, is a kind of game consoles. It belongs to the seven generation video game consoles. Xbox live is an online gaming service, which is also operated by Microsoft. It is the additional service from the Xbox 360. We can play with other people online in the Xbox live on your Xbox 360.
It is necessary for us to have an Xbox, broadband internet connection, an Xbox live starter kit, an Ethernet cable and a credit card if we want to play games online on Xbox live. What is the starter kit? And what's its function? We can buy one starter kit from the store, which sell the Xbox consoles and games. There are a disc, a headset, some demo games and some vital information. With the disc, we can update Xbox to be compatible with Xbox live. The headset let us connect our game controller so that we can communicate with the other game players online. With the starter kit, we will get one year Xbox Live service for free from the day we first sign up on Xbox live.
Then, we connect our Xbox to the broadband internet. First of all, use Ethernet cable connect the back of our Xbox and Modern directly or Router. If have a PC to share the internet, we can just plug the other end of the Ethernet into the router. In this case, the broadband speed is low. If we hook up the other end of the cable directly to the Modern, the broadband speed is fast. Microsoft suggested that the broadband speed should be more than 256k for download and 64 k for uploads. It is important to get a fast download speed so we'd better choose to connect the internet by Modern directly.
After connecting all the cables, just turn on the Xbox and set up the Live account following the instruction popped up on the screen. During registration, it is still need a valid credit card, even though we had get one year Live service following with the starter kit. They need our credit card to check our Live account. And there is no extra fee being charged by Microsoft. But it will charge you the next year subscription fee automatically from your credit card if we don't cancel our live account after the first year.
Ok, we get ready to Xbox Live. We can play many games online and download some new features. Also some review about the games will be got.
