| TheKoreanGuy said: The fact that Microsoft doesn't give Silver members the ability to play online tells me that they don't want people to know there is nothing special about Live. If they gave silver members the ability to play online, I would have absolutely no complaints. Microsoft is dragging the community down by making us think it's okay for something like multiplayer to be a privilege. If Nintendo and Sony follow suit, I will curse Microsoft for changing how we play games. For those who say "it's only $5 a month!," basically you are accusing everyone of being too cheap. What has happened with people's standards? Why is something free ever a bad thing? You're still paying Microsoft so you can play YOUR games, no matter how cheap it is. PS Plus is the more sensible route by charging a premium for extra features on top of playing online. |
Actually, Silver members do get a chance to play online. Multiple times a year MS gives Silver members the ability to play online. You can also get a free month of LIVE when you sign up on your system (think 3 per console), and there are various free codes floating around and included in games. So there are plenty of chances for people to try LIVE.
PS Plus more sensible? Depends on how you want to look at it.
