Other hard stuff of Xbox live starter kit
Other features of the Communicator include voice masking, global muting, and parental control. Voice masking gives you a number of voices to disguise yourself as, ranging from creepy to silly to irritating. Talking trash in a robotic voice during a game of NFL Fever is sure to annoy your opponent. The parental controls are an attractive option for parents; it's sad, but you can never tell what kind of person is on the other end of your Internet connection. The parental controls will help parents keep their kids away from sick people.
Lastly, the service takes advantage of the Xbox's hard drive -- something Sony cannot offer until it releases another peripheral. Gamers will be able to download additional content for games, including new characters, levels, missions, and more. It's a great value-added feature that lets developers add features going forward and include things that perhaps were not quite finished during a game's ship date.
