The company is already using technology derived from its Passport online sign-in service to help people log into Xbox Live. Its approach to online gaming is similar to the proprietary strategy it pursues in many of its core businesses: The company sells its software with components that work well together but don't necessarily operate with competitors' programs.

What? MS is going to sell software that only works on Xbox's and not other gaming consoles? The bastards! They should learn to be nice and let their games work on any system!

To use Xbox Live, gamers must have an expensive, high-speed "broadband" Internet connection, instead of merely a dial-up connection

yeah, because only mega-bajillionaires have enough money for DSL... wait, I am a poor college student, but I can still scrape together 40 bucks a month for DSL. I would have been paying 20 bucks a month for dial-up anyways and 20 dollars for 56 K or 40 for 1500 K... I think I got the most for my money...

and also must buy a $50 set-up kit in addition to the standard Xbox console and games

DAMN MICROSOFT FOR CHARGING MONEY FOR THE VOICE COMMUNICATOR AND GAME DEMOS! Oh wait, charging money for your product is what some people like to call 'good business sense'.

The kit includes a headset used to talk to other players and a year's subscription to Microsoft's gaming network, which is accessible only by using the Xbox connected to a TV.

What the f**k?! Now we have to have a TV?!?!?! What the hell is MS trying to do to us!@

In addition to Electronic Arts Inc.'s Madden NFL football title, Sony is also offering online versions of Twisted Metal: Black, its popular vehicle-combat game, and Final Fantasy, a leading game from Square Co. None of those games can be played online on the Xbox

Wow, if anything this articale was a good laugh.
