This whole thread makes me want to impale myself with a blunt object. I don't get why after the what, 6 years, Xbox Live has been in existence, there are some people, mostly PS3 fans who can't get over that it's not free. Seriously, we have people commenting on here who've never used Xbox Live and whose entire rationale going through life seems to be "If it's free, it must be better." A majority of 360 owners (myself included) think it's worth the money and you get some nice features on the side. Heck, the only games I play online are Halo 3 and Gears 2. I don't get how hard it is for some people to leave threads like these the hell alone, but apparently people seem to get kicks out of starting arguments or impressing their beliefs on others. You're going to convince hardly anyone of anything here, so why bother trying when all it does is turn into a flame war?

Now, please continue your argument about a previous Forza 3 vs. GT 5 argument. *facepalm*

I can assure you I'm no PS3 fanboy and I think paying to play online is ridiculous. Considering you get more and better features on your PC than on a 360, it's ridiculous to pay for an inferior product. I remember when MS started releasinig games for windows LIVE and actually required PC gamers to pay the money to play those games, I still have yet to find or even hear of a person who paid that fee (everyone just played on "illegal" free cracked servers, cause fuck paying to play online). Funnily enough, Games for Windows LIVE no longer requires payment, yet the 360 LIVE does.... Something to think about.

nothing to thing about...sony tried the developer route...and it failed on the ps2...which is why they copied XBL for their psn.  Most serious users of XBL are satisfied with the service received from XBL...and the fee...the major compliants come from people who DON'T  subscribe...WTF?  It would seem that people who dislike 360 would be happy about XBL, since following their logic, people will shift to psn, since it's fee...

I'm not bashing the service at all, it's the price. The service is great and all, but why pay when I have better and free right here on my PC?

 

Edit: Oh yeah, one of the reasons why LIVE is far inferior to PC online. I'll prove it by example: Team Fortress 2 updates for PC - often and free, new L4D content - free. For the 360 from LIVE - Pay to get a hold of and updates for TF2 are accumulated into bigger ones and passed off as DLC and the new L4D content is also DLC(read: you pay for them). In fact they TRIED to deliver them free, but have been forced to make you pay.

So not only you pay for the service, you also pay for shit that should have been free to being with.... No thank you, I'll stay far far away.

 

Becuase not everyone has or plays games on PC....So paying a few some loose change a month for XBL Gold is nothing...

Since when do you have to pay to get an Update?....IF you mean new content...take that up with Valve not XBL...Even if you were a silver member and Valve were to charge you for content..that/s how it would be...L4D content was free on XBL....Really... it was And since you would be able to get them even with out Gold that would make the "you got to pay for  L4D content on XBL" a misinformed statement...I did not pay for L4d DLC...Now...the Upcoming DLC....Well..Valve wants money for it...they bet everything on Green and don't plan to look back...and as to why PC stuff is free....I say it's how MS keeps other OS's behind them in user base
