The Birth of XBOX Live

I thought this was a really cool article about the beginnings of the XBOX brand and how integral XBOX Live has been from the beginning (even before the XBOX was released).

I remember when EA games weren't on XBOX Live, and I think I've been an XBOX Live subscriber since just after their launch on XBOX... its been fun, neat to know the history behind it a little bit more...

I read this article yesterday and it was AMAZING. It's extremely interesting. I loved the short stories about the first people to sign into xbox live and how they got to chat with the Xbox Live dev team as they were testing it out.

Definitely recommend it to everyone. You NEED to read this article.
