    Listen, Xbox Live will make the Halo: Reach launch weekend so spectacular, they'll be writing about it for eons.

    Methinks the writer is a little too excited. I can just imagine it now, in the future Halo fanboys will be split into two groups; Those that think the Halo Reach launch was the best and the other that believes Halo: CE had the best launch.

    Epic wars will be fought in a similar way to that South Park episode in which Cartman freezes himself and ends up in the future. Personally I don't know which had the better launch but Halo Reach has Xbox Live from the get-go, CE didn't.

    Still not working for me. I'm still silver.

    Maybe it's because I haven't got a credit card signed up??

    No credit cards required. Is the silver profile xbox live enabled i.e. signed up to live?
    Your profile will remain silver but you can play online multiplayer

    I'm having issues with this too (or am just doing something wrong); my account is showing as Silver and I'm unable to join any online games as far as I can see.

    Thanks, I popped in Pure and that worked but for some reason Halo 3 (new to 360 so just got a copy) doesn't seem to work online for me...

    It won't work for ranked matches but you should be able to play social matches (halo 3)
