TeamXbox.com has a news story announcing that the Xbox Live online gaming service will launch on November 15, exactly one year after the launch of the Xbox and its premier title, Halo. Halo 2 will support Xbox Live, but it won't be out for another year. At launch, about 10 titles will support Xbox Live, including Unreal Championship, Ghost Recon and NFL 2003. To follow in 2003 will be Halo 2, CounterStrike and Star Wars: Galaxies.
The starter kit, including a year's subscription and a Xbox Communicator headset, will cost $49.95. Xbox Live only supports broadband connections (such as xDSL and cable modems). No word yet on which of the games will support which features (such as downloadable content).
