Setting up Xbox live is really easy.
The frst and most important step is attaching your Xbox 360 to the internet. You can do this by either wireless or a cable called a ethernet cable. My personally opinion is to use ethernet because you will get a better connection rate.
To test your network connection, just go to where you can change networks stuff, this option is called network settings. You will see a option called test Xbox live.... select that and let it scan. If all ok, proceed! If still no connection, make sure you have done everything probably like type in your wireless password code (if using wireless) etc.
Now, when you have done that just select the option where it says "join xbox live". Go through the set up which is really easy, create a gamertag of your choice and done!
However, you will need to buy a Xbox live gold membership (if not given one in your console box).

I got the same problem and called Xbox support and Windows live support. It ended up being that the servers for the payment area were down, making you unable to do what ever you were doing. Nothing is wrong with your xbox or account, but the servers are down.

No, by buying a gold membership card you just get Xbox LIVE access. No Microsoft points. But why would you PAY for your Xbox Live? You can get a FREE Xbox Live Gold Membership for free with the help of my site. It even has a video tutorial to help. (LINK at bottom)
