Xbox Live is five years old. I was an early Beta tester.

I purchased my Xbox Live Starter Pack on 9/20/2002
for $49.95. I remember receiving it not to long
after. It came with some cool stuff, at least I
thought it was at the time. It came with a t-shirt
that read "I've got great hands", headset and
adapter, orange memory card, carrying case and beta
games. I continued to receive a few Beta Disks over
the next few weeks.
I signed up with the gamertag "thexboxjedi". I found that referring to myself as an Xbox Jedi gave people the impression I was good. It made me a target which didn't help because I wasn't that good, but I love to play. So I changed it to "themacjedi" shortly after the Xbox 360 came out.
My 5 year experience with Xbox Live has been awesome. I have a few friends on Live that joined because of me. I played games online with my Mac before I had Live but it wasn't no where near as cool. Being able to talk to all of the players is a fantastic thing. There are always going to be people who you don't want to hear and Live handles that.
The new Live with the 360 is a significant improvement. I enjoy it every day.
