Xbox Live represents the online interactive version of Microsoft’s hugely popular video gaming console Xbox 360. This technology has taken video gaming to the next level where multiple users sitting at different locations can engage in video gaming activity on a common platform in real time.
This technology has revolutionized the way video games are played around the world. Within an amazingly brief span of time, the community of Xbox Live subscribers has grown to over 17 million across the globe.
Xbox Live also features a special online service called Xbox Live Marketplace. It allows the users to download exclusive online content, some of which is provided free, while the rest is paid content.
