Yep it's down. First time in a while
"When I finally get my 360 I sure as hell won't be paying for XBL :"
Your loss |
how is it his loss?
imho ive lost 150 + dollars paying for three years of live. my subscription is running out and i'm going to let it. i'll be doing my online gaming on ps3 until 360 FINALLY makes live free.
due to unrelated to online issues with ms, i cant stomach paying them again for something free.
im a 360 and xbl lover, and im going to the other side.
what exactly does he miss out on? l4d maybe is the only thing (note that i hate halo)
anything else you can do online for free elsewhere.

That is not true, you paid for a (good) service.
It is like saying that you paid to send some letter via the post while you could have done it yourself by walking... wtf ....
|
actually its more like if you use firefox you can view this site free, but if you used ie than this site cost 50 dollars a year
its just brainwashing bro, i been on live since the day this system was released, and playing ps3 i see no difference bro
|
That was the dumbest Analogy.....CaptDS9E's makes sense...Pyramid Head.....can have voice chat on PSN the way you do on live?
|
Three things:
- Voice chat isn't for everyone. It certainly isn't for me, I can't stand using party chat on Live - hell, I can't even stand using the phone, I find it uncomfortable.
- Party/Private chat probably will come to the PSN in the future, it's more a question of "when" rather than "if".
- You're paying $30/$40/$50 (whatever the hell the sub fee is) a year for voice chat? After all, there are two big differences between the PSN and Live. 1 - Live has in-game, cross-game voice chat and the PSN doesn't. 2 - Live requires a subscription, PSN doesn't. If Silver offered everything that the PSN offered, and Gold offered everything that the PSN didn't (so, party chat) how many people would be willing to pay the subscription for Gold, then?
|
over 13 million.......confirmed!
And we are debating if the newest report of 20 million users includes Silver Members
|
Thanks for that, yeah, stating how many people are currently paying for the service proves or disproves my point, how? My point was how many people would be willing to pay for Gold if Silver already offered online play (so Silver was equivalent to PSN).
|
That's a stupid question......Why would Microsoft copy Sony....Meaning ...They don't chrage for Online play but take donations(So i've heard) and a have Qore which is 25 dollars for 12 episodes...when on XBL their new stuff weekly(Interviews And a bunch more stuff)
And what's up with the Tax charging on PSN?....The money companies have to pay to provide online gaming on PSN.....And the money Digital Game Makers have to pay to have their content hosted on the PSN?
|
It's not a stupid question at all, as that's essentially the question which players such as myself and Pyramid Head have to ask ourselves. We own both consoles, and we need to justify that subscription charge, and what is the only real difference between the two services that means that I have to pay £35 a year to get voice chat.... yeah, great.
Secondly, I'm not saying that running the service is free, it just doesn't cost £35 a year per customer to run (the cost will be in the pennies, a couple of pounds, maximum). If Sony are able to recuperate costs through offering downloads such as Qore, Home DLC and "taxing" other firms, then so be it, I'd rather have the firm pay for advertising (which is essentially what a demo is), then I have to pay for it.
