360 Online Gameplay

[proehl4six]

i currently have the ps2 and am a huge online user (not just madden). i am looking to buy a 360 and i have some question reguarding Xbox Live on the 360. my one friend who has the 360 said that when you first turn on the system you make a username of some sort and thats your online account when you activate this. is this true? i have a brother who also plays online and we want to get one 360 but both be able to play online too. can we create dual accounts on one 360 and both be able to play xbox live? if anyone knows anything about these 360 system user accounts and/or the xbox live and if i can have two accounts on one xbox 360 that would be great.

I'm pretty sure you can have two accounts... but I think you have to "buy" two accounts... The down side of the xbox system is that you can't have a ton of accounts... but that is also a huge UPSIDE too... because you get a better quality opponent as opposed to the punk kids that go out and make idiots of themselves online (ps2), and then just delete that account (and start a new one) when no one will play them anymore...

okay thats what i was looking for. i know it is $50 an account/year but i think it will be a lot better than ps2 online ebacsue of that same reason and it drives me nuts too. thanks.

But if you are looking to play together like on a team.. you cant do that yet.. how awesome would that be to play madden with another account on ur team
