The premier online gaming service, Xbox Live, hit its 10 year mark. MSFT was giving away a special edition xbox to those users who had been signed up for the service since the beginning. This meant that you had to have signed up back when Xbox live came out on the Xbox. I didn't sign up until it came on the 360, so I've been signed on for five years. When I look at what the other companies have to offer, no one has the exclusivity and the creativity like MSFT has embedded in Xbox live. No wonder its the most used online service out there. I like how the network is constantly trying to innovate and improve things. Also, with a company that has tons of tech haters out there, you rarely hear about hacks or break ins to the network. Sadly, Sony can't say the same with its recent hack attacks from Anonymous. Nintendo, people just don't care enough to try. There is so much that Xbox Live has given to gamers and their movie and TV deals are going to get better going forward. I really don't mind paying $50 a year for this service because its that good.
Way to go.
