I believe that any game that is system link capable is playable over Xconnect.

If you'd rather think of it this way...
$50 buys you the communicator with a year's worth of Live FREE
Once you play Live you won't want to play it any other way (unless you can't, like Halo).

I agree, plus you get the Demo games. You can spend days playing Moto GP with just the 3 tracks that they give you and have an absolute blast! Once you play live and use the communicator you will see what you are paying for. I will still got to XBC for some Halo action but Ghost Recon has almost erased even my Halo time. This game is just too good.

On that note, is Moto GP live enabled, or is that a new version coming out? The MOto GP in stores doesn't mention Live at all. Or is there a download to make it live?
And the demo of Whacked was a blast. I hadn't even considered that game before I got my live kit. Now, I am thinking of picking it up.

I didn't like Whacked, but there's a ton of people that love it, so my advice is to rent the full version before you by it.

Try Xbconnect (xbconnect.com) if you don't want to pay for Live.
You can play Halo on there too. I find it to be less laggy than Gamespy. The only downside is you can't play any Sega games.
Live is good, but I'm not looking forward to paying the speculated 10 dollars a month to sustain your Live account, after the first year.

Just the idea of having a national rankings database for Unreal Championship will keep me addicted forever. I'm just starting to win matches and I've already jumped from 4000's to 2000's.
$50 is a drop of the hat when you think about how much fun and how much replay value there is. The communicator alone is worth it.
Then again, if you don't have broadband already, it'll be more. But shoot, even broadband is worth it. I got broadband specifically for X-Box but now it's like I can't even fathom 56K.

$50 for a year is a really good deal... Even $10/month, while a little more then double is still decent.
I won't pay $10/month for a game like everquest because that is the only game you can play. With XBox live, you get lots of games as well as downloadable contect for other games. Just last night I downloaded a bunch of new costumes for the players in DOA3
