X-Box Live?

Article:
X-Box Live

The article doesn't say what it is though. Is X-Box Live a type of X-box or is it an add-on for an existing X-Box? How does it hook up to the internet?- Through my existing broadband connection?

Looks interesting- especially the voice-over-ip. What do you guys think?

Yep, I have it and it works pretty well. I play MechAssault, NFL 2K3, and Ghost Recon. Despite the fact that it's all over broadband, I still notice a little lag and things like people popping up in random places, then disappearing and reappearing in another spot. Overall though, it's not bad, and the voice communication is definitely a great feature. Nothing like two people going at it verbally instead of typing.
