I just find it funny that people who don't even use Live comment about it. Or have a 360 for that matter. This forum sure has a lot of that. |
I've had a 360 since the summer of 2007. I haven't been a Gold subscriber since 2007. I was already playing online through PSN and saw no value in paying for the ability to do the same on the 360.
As a result, I don't buy 360 games that I want to play online. I have no interest in using all the added services MS has accumulated over the years to justify marketing XBL as a premium service or the upcoming rate hike. Just about all of them are accessible through a regular network connection on any computer.
If you don't use the 360 as your primary gaming platform (or go weeks without turning the 360 on), it's a lot harder to tout the "value" of XBL Gold.
