LIVE is important for stuff like updates, multiplayer games etc..
but right now.. market place filled with expensive craps..
game add-on seems like its only good if u are rich..

should change the topic to more specific questions.. maybe is marketplace important? or is xboxlive gold important? etc....

i would like to add that xboxlive is important if u plan to concentrate on one console.. i guess when u plan to go multiconsole... its quite wasted if u pay 12 months of live.. but ur not using it for 12 months..

mobius.. although number of gamertags users are many.. if u see number of users online on xboxlive.. on average time is quite dissapointing isn't it as comparison to the total number of account here, in lowyat forum only...
i dont know but usually i see < 10- 20% % of ppl online on a random hour la.. and out of them.. half of them are playing single player game, or away, or on the dashboard.. so number of gamertags in my opinion is not accurate enough..
