Advantages: ok recording quality of an ok gig Disadvantages: better to watch the dvd, but it's not Iggy at his best.
It's cheap and cheerful, but frankly not very good.
Iggy Pop was not, let's be honest, in the best of shape in 1981. This album was recorded at the end of a long bout of touring in support of one of his least loved albums - Party.
Now Iggy is usually worth seeing in concert and this album is actually the soundtrack of a home video / DVD which is still available. The film shows a rather inebriated Iggy giving a half-hearted performance with only flashes of his usual brilliance. The fact that he's wearing suspenders and stockings adds to the uneasiness. But at least it makes the film worth seeing.
The CD, on the other hand, just come across as half-cocked. The band aren't bad, but aren't especially impressive either (despite the presence of Bowi'e guitar player Carlos Alomar) and iggy's half mumbled half shouted vocals just sound bad ...
Advantages: Online gaming, good value, networking Disadvantages: Some lag, temptation to spend more money on extras
Xbox Live is good value compared to some other online subscriptions e.g. World of Warcradt or Everquest as with these you pay everymonth just for one game, whereas with xbox live you only pay once to go online with pretty much all your games.
You then get tempted, however, to pay for extra online contect such as extra levels, characters, backdrops for your xbox live dashboard, arcade games etc. etc.
So it's never as cheap as it seems!
The service on xbox live is good and it's rare to have connection issues so gameplat online tends to be smooth. Occasionally you may shoot at someone only to find they already moved- lag is rare but does happen and can be annoying.
The range of games that can be played online is excellent, and isn't just shooting and fighting! Guitar hero plays online brilliantly with options for guitar battles ...
Advantages: Online multiplayer, priviledges downloads Disadvantages: Price a little daunting at first, additional hardware required, PS3 online is free
online multiplayer capabilites of the Xbox 360. Playing against your console is fun, but nowhere near as fun as knowing the person you just shot in the head from a mile away is another human being, or that the car you just overtook was driven by someone who was lacking that little bit of skill or little bit of luck to stay ahead. You can also trade game elements like cars etc. with your fellow players.
If you have the Xbox Live headset you can even have conversations with the other players, organising assaults on the enemy's fortress or gloating a little as your opponents plane drops from the sky in a ball of flame.
What you need for Xbox Live Gold:
An Xbox, or Xbox 360
A broadband internet connection
A way to connect to the internet (discussed a little later)
An Xbox hard drive (an add-on for the 360)
