Is Xbox Live not on anyone elses priority list? It really isn't something that I am desperate to get and to be honest I think that too much emphesis is being placed upon it. Don't get me wrong I think that downloading new levels and extras will be superb but it isn't something that I can't wait to get. I also don't care too much about playing people across Xbox Live because I aren't into Multi-Player games that much and if I am I invite a friend around to play Halo and Dead or Alive 3 etc!
The service is going to be superb and by far the best online service out of all 3 consoles by a long shot. If a game focuses on Multi-Player over songle player then I avoid getting it, also if a PC game is based around online play I avoid getting it as well. The biggest asset to Xbox Live is the ability to download new levels and characters in my opinion and this is the only reason I will pick it up sometime next year. However until then I value my money on buying the great games on the Xbox between now and Christmas over concentrating on Xbox Live.
By the way has anyone checked the latest IGN reviews for Xbox? The games are scoring highly and there are a few on there that I wasn't expecting to be any good!
Anyone feel the same way? Am I on my own with this one?

Yeah, still it will then be ten years behind other countries.
We have the best televisions though. PAL is more advanced than NTSC :)

Thats why Nintendo don't want to dive in. Its a very risky market, especially in Europe where a long as we have BT, we will not have good internet gaming. :(

Thats why Nintendo don't want to dive in. Its a very risky market, especially in Europe where a long as we have BT, we will not have good internet gaming. :(
On the other hand, online console gaming could fall flat on its face all round. If take-up isn't good, that could force prices up, eventually alienating the initial early takers.
It's a big gamble for everyone, I think.

Same here, with so many other releases coming forward, Xbox Live is being pushed to the back of the budget list.
For me Xbox Live was something that made me consider buying an Xbox in the first place, I had a PS2 (with Sony's ambitious, but to me none too specific plans) and a GC (Nintendo hasn't got a clue...) and wanted to play online. Sold my PS2 and got an Xbox, I'll get Broadband by the end of the year and once I've got the starter kit I'm sorted.
I think online gaming will be the next big thing with consoles, and with a network in place, a built in HD, and strong online games, Xbox is in a strong position.
