I remember the Beta Days... like they were... five years ago.

Before the Internet Dickwad Theory truly took hold.

I like to not think of things in 16 years (XBL turning 21). Mostly because I'll be 45.

So is that SIVE, or FIVEIVE?

Either way it doesn't make much sense...

Any word on if there will be some sales going on in the marketplace with some arcade games in light of this celebration?

They should put out the Fall Update on that date to commemorate it.

Yeah, TORO. I 'get it' It just seems silly to me. Someone in the PR department got paid too much for that.

Oh, and your name is BRILLIANT btw TORO.

X3F is really slow on news, seriously. I posted it on my 360 blog yesterday.

http://www.the360blog.com/2007/11/06/xbox-live-turns-5-nov-15th/

Check out the blog, were just starting and hope to become an X3F "Worth Reading" Website sometime in the future.

@13

Well at least we will finally be in the Nintendo Wii demographic.

And that folks is about the ONLY time you will read a slam on a system. And this is only a joke at that.

Wes,

Call me crazy but is calling out X3F really a good way to get yourself listed on the Worth Reading section?

See, I think it would get you on the D-Bag list but hey...maybe that's just me.

Ah yes, the days of playing Unreal on XBL back then.

Some people actual complain about the fact that they have to pay $49 per year. I feel that's the steal of the decade and I appreciate the fact MS hasn't raised that price in 5 years.

The 15th? I remember he release date for North America being the Nov. 25th 2002. I preordered my live starter kit on the 24th paid for next day shipping and got it the 25th.

Nope, it was the 15th because it was the 1 year anniversary of Xbox.

It should be noted that they're not playing GRAW, but instead the very first Ghost Recon.

I remember buying the shitty version of Counter-Strike on Xbox back in the day and owning faces so hard because all the little XBL kids didn't know shit about the game.

Wes, your stories are barely a couple sentences. How is that supposed to ease my craving for funny and accurate, relatively-quick news? Duh, it's not. Your blog is not worth reading to me. Get some pic-a-la-tures.

Yeap, Ghost Recon is what they will be playing as it's five years old also, GRAW is only a year and half old.
