    If it says Xbox360 on the box, it should run on your Xbox360.

    Assuming your game cases are the same as mine, on the back, the left hand side, near the bottom. In green it will have offline features, and in orange will be online (live) features.

    Not all Xbox 360 games are playable online, such as many RPGs or adventure games. These games may have downloadable content or Live leaderboards, so that you can buy extra content, or compare your scores to others, without actually being able to play with them.

    There are hundreds of options to go live. There are free weekends a couple of times a year, codes given in some games get you a couple of days, you can pay for different amounts of weeks, months or a year by buying a card in a store, or the same options are available on your console using a credit/debit card.

    You get something called Xbox live silver with the console. With this, several family members can get access to many online features for free, with their own separate accounts. However, to play online, you need a gold membership, which is the one you pay for, and the one you will need for COD online multiplayer.

    Also if you are looking to purchase an xbox live membership they offer family packs. This includes up to 4 members for $99 yearly. Sometimes Amazon has discounted pricing on single memberships. You don't necessarily need a membership either but there are features like Crackle which provides free movies on the xbox.

    Live Points are used to buy stuff in the Marketplace - games, themes, addons, avatar clothing, etc. To play online against or with other people you will need a Gold subscription which has a monthly cost. You can buy both Points and subscription at places like Walmart, Target, Gamestop etc.

    If you want to play online, you need to have an xbox live gold membership, with that you can join parties with friends and play multiplayer games. You also get access to netflix(gold only but you still have to pay for netflix)

    A game you can play on Xbox Live has a 'live' logo in the top right hand corner - not all games have Live content and games that have Live does not mean that you have to go online.

    Live is a preference - if you like online play, get Live... if not, save your money.
