At the very least, you need an Xbox.

technically, as long as you have a 360 and a broadband internet connection you already have xbox live silver (which is pretty much online access to the dashboard and the ability to download stuff from there). those with regular silver now have the full benefits of gold until march 7th.

Plus, he's correct. The Live service is the best online service between the three consoles. PCs are apples to oranges because there is no centralized service (though Steam comes close); companies tend to run their own servers for games, and some of those charge for access as well (e.g. most MMORPGs of note).
