I think I've got COD4 for xmas.
Being new to the xbox 360 can I just hook it up to my router and play online or do I need xbox live silver/ gold?
Seems madness having to pay a fee to play online!

u need gold to play online, if you have a new xbox account u get 3 months free gold anyway, the online fee is gay, but the xboxlive network is ace

yeah you pay for what you get really, the PSN is free but is pants in comparison, even PS3 owners freely admit that

maybe i worded it wrong.
it may not be pants considering its free, but its pants compared to the 360 live which you have to pay for.
but like i said you get what you pay for, i certainly dont find £5 per month intrusive at all.
thats £1.25 a week, anyone complaining about paying that deserves to be homeless

Pants yes, but only in comparison. It's adequate considering it's free.

Back on topic, you'll probably get 1 Months free Gold Membership with the game, if not check your other games out, you might have Free Membership in one.
