You'll need to sign up for an Xbox Live Gold account if you want to participate in some online gaming. You can sign up via the console itself, or shop around online for a subscription (you basically purchase a code that you need to enter onto the console). It's somewhere between £25 and £30 a year I think, but a 1 month free trial is available.
