Aw, poor GR...
As I've said, I have XBox Live. MS did recently add a monthly pay service (apparently for those who only use XBox Live for a bit and not for the rest of the year or something), but they have stated they will keep the yearly service (which is good, because paying their monthly price would cost a chunk more). I should certainly recommend you get the kit at least. Soon it'll be $70, as he said (though at least you get online Tetris with it), so you may want to at least have it as a sort of reservation for when broadband finally comes to your one horse town. What was that? Oh, the wind...
Lovely how long a year's worth lasts, what with a year being a whole YEAR long and all :D. It'll be nice when the first REALLY huge Live title is finally released in the form of Halo 2 (though my main FPS want is PD0), and maybe Halo 2's single player won't suck this time.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
