I know the differences between the two as far as online offerings. My friend keeps trying to get me to get a 360 and a live subscription but I just can't get myself to feel comfortable paying for something that I think should be free when you buy into the whole deal. Some of you got the idea I was trying to put out there but another way of looking at it is what do you think about paying considering you pay $60 for a game and probably $500+ for the console and experience. Do any of you think that the online and extras should be free after all you've spent already.
And as far a friend codes and Wii, I don't see how that really interferes considering that I don't have any codes entered for MOH:Heroes 2 or the Conduit and I can just play online with anyone anyway. I've never fully understood what was wrong with a friend code system? To me it's like getting the user name of your friend to meet up on another console. |
thats fine if you just want to play online by yourself, but what happens if you have a friend that wants to play? What if you have 2 or 3? what if you have more than that? For each friend you have to enter a code for each game you play.
So, for example, on xbox live I have over 80 friends. I would have to enter a friend code for each of them to play. Not only that, but if we wanted to play a different game I would have to enter comepletely different friend codes. Then to complicate matters, there is no way for me to communcate with them until we are in the game. I would have to call them all up on their cell phones get their stupid friend codes and give them mine in turn and hope nobody misherd a character or we would have to repeat the process.
Don't you see how that is a joke? I don't know about you, but when I play online I enjoy myself quite a bit more when I can play with people I know. Not to mention the fact that their are only 2 games out that support wii speak, an accessory that nobody owns which makes it pretty much useless.
