same for me... my baclog is increasing faster than I can play them games :D

now I wonder what kind of morons are those 3% that said free games were bad....


Alot of them are on these forums, loads of Xbox players saying it was stupid when sony was the only one doing it, i assume there opinon hasnt changed. 

Sony doesn't give you any free games. If you stop paying Sony you can't play any of them. If I stop paying MS I can still play all of the games I've downloaded because I own them.

yeah yeah we know 2 games that are 3+ years old  a month that you get to own is better than 5 games that are less than a year old that you only get to keep while you subscribe. 

Because im sure you let your xbox live sub lapse constantly, because its not really worth paying for right?


Why do you care anyway, xeno? Really. Just leave it, we talked about pros and cons a thousand times, we heard the games are old a thousand times. Either add something new that will enlighten us or just leave it but let's not reiterate discussions we had many times again many times. Thanks.

Neither does MS, you are only receiving copies of these games if you pay for gold.

What? If you have gold, you get it. If you quit gold, they don't disappear. So you say that if you quit gold and delete the games, you won't be able to redownload them again? Could be.

Morons, really? Sigh... I know a lot of morons don't realize they are morons themselves, I guess. We have to live with them most times but sometimes one has to react to them when it's too disturbing.

Moron was not my word, i was just replying to someones question. 

 

To be clear ive never said Games for gold is a bad thing, its a great thing, i may argue its not as good as PS+ based on the content so far.  But it will most likly improve, PS+ wasnt stellar in its firsy year either.

Huh, I consider them free because even if MS didn't give away the games I would still subscribe to Gold. 



Great news for 360 owners, but hopefully sometime after launch they can start a program like that for the X1 (I know, wishful thinking)

well I can see it being debatable for PSN+ since you don't get to keep them if you decide to stop getting PSN+... but here you get them and you keep them no matter what.... how can that be bad....  now don't get me wrong both are great plans... but I hardly see any valid reasons against XBL game for gold plan... you pay the price of 1 full retail game  a year (max) and you will be able to potentially get 24 games for free yours to keep... now that's some great value even if it would be only bargain bin games it would still be a great deal... granted you don't have all of them already... but imagine a new owner... there is no doubt that getting gold is a great option

now if they put back that plan on XB1 next E3 that will be a great selling point for a lot of people still on the edge... since any game won't be older than a year then... could even be better than a price cut


Ive never said games for gold is bad, im saying alot of people said PSN+ was bad untill MS started giving away games, then all of a sudden its a great idea. 

I hope they do go to XB1, pity they havent confirmed it already tho, PSN+ is confirmed for PS4 day 1 with 2 free games day 1.

Its not the same.

 

Sonys is a rental service.

microsofts is a gift.

Halo 3 is better than almost all recent releases for the last few years. So yeah its massively worth it.

Differnce is value, 1 month of PSN+ provides you with the more than the cost of your sub in games at current market value, Halo 3 may be a better game to some, but its so old and can be picked up for a few quid anyway. 

But lets hope they do bring it to X1 soon and bring day 1 games as well as a few month old games like PSN+, rental or free forever with that kind of value would you ever cancel your sub anyway?
