Same here, i didn't see the point in paying for live when Xbconnect and Xlink Kai had more than enough players, and best of all you could play games that had no Xbox Live functionality, such as Halo 1!
I played a lot of Halo 2 on XBConnect. I even went to the Dutch World Cyber Games competition for Halo 2 at that point. It was 2 vs 2 at the WCG, but my partner never showed up !
