I still don't want it, i don't really care about it's exclusives (alot of the games I want are on PS3 anyway) and I refuse to pay for Live, when such a service is free else where. Games for Windows live is free (i have to use it for GTA IV), so why can't Xbox Live be free?

I agree with almost everything except that I actually want to play those couple of exclusives which are really good games. X360 doesn't even come close to PS3 or Wii in terms of exclusives, but it has a couple of games worth playing. A $99 console would be a sure purchase for me.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

You will still need a gold subscriber to watch netflix



VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3

Paying for Xbox Gold in order to WATCH netflix... That's how companies extract every dime out of the unsuspecting cattle known as 'consumers.'

That's why I had a PS3. Never even fathomed paying for the ability to use online features on a gaming console. For lack of a better word, it's retarded lol.

The $99 360 is going to lack a dvd drive and will be digital only,or so i fear. They are pushing digital distribution. It will also justify the $99 price tag because they will cut out store profit margin and make more money themselves.

That's what I'm thinking. A cheap gateway to access xbox live and stream tv/movies.

GFW Live is free because PC users boycotted it. Live on 360 is bought plenty, giving little incentive to turn away said income.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It's a shame really because it should be free for what it is, for what it has over PSN. It's just not worth it



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)
