Live™ is a high-speed internet gaming community where 

you can create a permanent gamer identity, set up a 

Friends 

list filled with your favorite opponents, see when they’re 

online, invite them to play, and talk to them in real-time while 

you race. No longer are you limited to multiplayer action when 

your friends are over—now you can find opponents 24/7 ready 

to take you on, talk some trash, and race the streets of Paris 

and D.C. To determine if Xbox 

Live is available in your area, go to 

www.xbox.com

Live, connect to a direct or shared high-speed

and two cups that you call “dial-up.”
