I agree saving money is always a good thing but if you say paying for stuff you don't need = they are either too rich or retarded means everyone here bar none are "too rich" or "retarded" because we don't need to play videogames or watch TV or have overly powerful computers and the list goes on and on.

Also this thread is no different than any other thread like it on here. What's your favorite console, is PSN + worth it, the plentiful "look at my exclusives" thread.

You are completely missing the point, if I have a gaming PC(which I also use for work, I'm an IT person who can work many fields,) a PS3, and a Wii, then XBL doesn't justify as something I need to be able to play online with(which is why I sold it back in 08' btw,) use netflix, and have crossgame chat etcetc. For the people who are unfortunate to only have a 360 or only have friends that 100% play on the 360, or stand 100% behind it because it's the console of their choice and they must be the defense force behind it, the need for using XBL is obviously there. With so many multiplatform games on both the 360, PS3, and even the PC, it came down to only a few game series for me in the end on the 360, Alan Wake(now coming to Steam, so I don't feel so bad anymore) and Gears2 MP(Which fucked me over because it was broken as shit on release, I enjoyed 3 at friends' though,) like hell if I'm going to buy a 360 again and pay Gold just to play Gears 3 MP. The really sad shit is I haven't touched my consoles much since BF3, Skyrim, and Batman: AC came out on PC, last time I booted my PS3 up was Uncharted 3 and I haven't even touched Skyward Sword(I know, blasphemy) lol.

BTW, I don't have a favorite console(bar the SNES maybe, MAYBE,) but I have voiced many times before that I don't like the XBL business model. PSN+ is totally not worth it in my book, most DD games can be found cheaper on Steam or through Steam sale vs their monthly fee, and once you opt out, a lot of them stop working, cloud storage doesn't mean shit since you get so little of it, and background update is not something I'd pay for either, but at least I don't have to pay to play online with it, and it comes with Netflix and Hulu Plus by default, not to mention it's a 3D video and 3D bluray player(yar, I have a 3DTV) and works better with the media server running off my server vs the 360, not that it matter to people who are not into it though...... anyways, off topic, let me rephrase, for people with options, XBL is most likely not worth it, IMO lol.

Like I said it's fine if you don't like it but DON'T say the people who use it have no other options, are getting ripped off or anything like that. That type of elitist bullshit has no place anywhere on these forums and really is the gaming version of bigotry.
