And with an extremely good router. Also as an IT Manager I know how good my connection is and if it wasnt excellent I wouldnt put up with it. DSL? you must be farther away from the hub, thats what I have, going throgh Quest. And like i said, my lag problems are nowhere near what you claim yours are, and I have a crappy Dlink router that likes to throttle my connection every chance it gets. The fact that you are having more trouble than me with lag, and have the same internet speeds as I do, tells me something is seriously wrong with your connection. As an "IT Manager" I would think you would be able to figure it out. I have 2 Xboxes and 2 accounts because theyre are 2 different people playing at the same time. This doesnt not mean however that we are both playing the same game or that we are both playing multiplayer games (before you blame that for lag) So, why complain that you have to pay for two accounts, two differant people are using them, hey, her'se a fun fact, you could SHARE an account...or even better yet, instead of bitching about it to a bunch of people who don't care, don't pay for the service, problem solved! A lot of the features you mention have only just been added AND some of them you have to pay for. I also wouldnt use any of them. I have my PC and laptop for things like Facebook. YOU may not use the features, but other people will, Your elitist attitude does not fly with me, you are NOT the sum of the whole, you are ONE person. And the comment about other platforms using servers to host games and costing more as a result is of obvious relevence. It costs MORE and yet is FREE. Get a grip. No, it is not free, you pay for it by paying for the game, NOTHING IN LIFE IS TRUELY FREE, get a grip. The point about Skype is that and I cant believe I am having to explain something so simple. Voice Over IP is a free technology. It doesnt cost anything to host or to implement, so paying for cross gaming chat doesnt cost anything either. The point about Skype is moot because Skype is not cross game chat, it is a web service. You only brought it up to justify PSN not having it. Which to me is kinda silly because PSN will be getting it soon...but whatever. If you do a simple calculation around 1 year ago it was noted that Microsoft had around 10 million gold subscribers at aounrd £40 per year. That means Microsoft are making £400 million so they can SELL you movies, additional content the odd freebee and allow you to host your own games. They can offer the service free, and I will relish the day they do, but until that day, I will continue to buy live because it offers features I cannot get from PSN, And I will be able to play games with friends that I could not on PSN. I love my Xbox, I just dont like being ripped off. You are the one allowing yourself to get ripped off, stop buying XBL if you don't like it, then you will spaire me the agony of thinking I may run across you someday on XBL...god I will kill myself if that ever happens. Now if you were to get off your FANBOY soap box and breath the air of reality youll realise that 99 percent of the features you think are worth paying for can be used on the Internet for free. And the things that you pay for on Xbox live cost no more elsewhere. Funny, people keep calling me fanboy, and yet, they don't check my posting history. I fail to see how I am a fanboy for rebuting you failed argument. Also, 99 percent of the features may be free on the internet, but they are clunky to use while using a console...seriously, get over yourself dude. So with all this made clear. JUST WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR. THE EXTRA CONTENT THAT PSN DOES NOT HAVE, THE ABILITY TO PLAY GAMES THAT THE PS3 DOES NOT HAVE, WITH FRIENDS WHO ARE NOT ON PSN...clear enough fer ya? |
