Tom's Hardware Reviews Xbox Live

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stumbling-into-the-future dept.

VividU writes "Tom's Hardware has a review of Xbox Live." Also includes a bit of a summary of the state of networked gaming on the other 2 major consoles (Coleco and Intellivision). A good read if you're looking to see what's going to keep you glued to your couch in 2003.

  1. I knew Coleco and Intellivision were coming back! by vudufixit · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's next - Magnavox Odyssey and the Atari 2600?

    Since we were not asked to participate in the beta test, we can't tell you much about the beta; but things must have gone fairly smoothly, because on November 15th, Microsoft rolled out Xbox Live to the masses.

    Poor testing and pervasive bugs have never stopped MS from releasing anything. Looks like wishful thinking on the reviewers part.

    So it's only just out of Beta and all the decent GameTag's have gone!

    So it looks like you're gonna be in a deathmatch up against the invincible Bob8347737.

    Obviously you've got a C64, since you're typing in 40 char width. I'm filing this into my demographic. I'll let you know when my product ships to get your GC online via your 300 baud modem you're using on that C64.

    and that people really are dumb enough to pay upfront for the device, and pay ongoing amounts for the functionality

    You must not have heard of this little game called Everquest.
