Well do. Oh and know what? Next time you have to send mircosoft some moeny for xbox live, send them a smily face and a thank you for keeping the servers lag free with. 17 million people shelling out 50 dollars a year. That is 850,000,000 dollars a year. Oh yeah I forgot, they arent lag free. I guess all that money goes to steal the Mii idea from nintendo.

That was both lame and win at the same time.

 

It is so true though. Didnt microsoft just say they have 17.5 million live users? that would put the amount of money i listed as a low end value. Yet I play Gears 2 online at my friends house, and 5/8 games lag like crazy. I know its not his internet cause we have done some heavy double MMOing over there. Basically they take that money and pocket it and pretend they are doing stuff to xbox live. Everyone thinks this new system took so much R&D, but come on, all they did was add 3d avatars and change the look of everything. 1 or 2 months top. Not almost a billion dollars worth amirite?

 

 

The PSN store works great for me. My first time I downloaded 2 of the same demo. But I learned from my mistake right away. Also I am sure those things they make us read before we get the newest updates have something important in there. I never read that stuff.

MS did just release that number but it also includes any and all free accounts that were made.

 

You know what I mean. Even if its only 500,000,000 dollars they are wasting, It is still a lot. 50 dollars a year is too much. I wouldn't care if sony charged us like 20 dollars a year. Still more then enough money a year to keep servers running smoothly etc etc.
