Q: I usesd the xbox live silver that came with the 360 when i got it. Even though i am online, i can not play online. For example... halo 2 says I can't connect t Xbox live. Star wars Battlefront says i have to read a message from xbox live before i can play online. That message is the accont managment thing. Rainbow 6 vegas says I am not signed in either.
A: Xbox Silver means you can download stuff online. I am afraid you have to buy Xbox Gold membership to play online (highly worth it). I think You get one month free online with silver but thats it. try http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/860394/Xbox-Live-12-Month-Gold-Membership-Card/Product.html Hope it helps
