why can i play all those 360 games on pc over xbox live for winfows for free when theyre using the same servers to provide matchmaking etc? Even steam now.

Most of them don't use the same servers. PC MP titles are not console MP titles. And since we're bringing Steam into the equation, don't forget you can also use Steam to get free games and discounts yet Sony charges for them :(


it's not about the servers it's about the product. You get the same (and even more) from xboxlive windows.

oh and steam was like the inspiration for ps+ and steam doesn't give you free games every month but yes they do have great deals. That is why Sony has opened up their platform to be more pc gaming friendly and are trying to be more and more like steam. That is moving the the right direction. The same cannot be said for microsoft.

Well you brought up servers on PC so.. yeah. Idk if you have ever played a Games for Windows Live title but it's certainly not the same product you get on the Xbox 360. And that's as it should be, since it was designed for consoles. Either way we can go back and forth all day about differences between the PC and home console markets. It won't result in anything. Again just like Steam and PS+. Free on PC, just gotta download the Steam client. $50 a year on PS3. I guess you've been had if you're a PS+ subscriber :(

And Steam gives away free games all the time, just not "big" retail titles. You can keep their free games though, forever. But there's no comparing the discounts, nothing beats Steam. All free. Of course, like I said earlier in response to the other guy, the fact that Steam does what PS+ does for free, doesn't mean I'll go into a PS+ thread and talk about how those subscribers have "been had" or have "no standards".

It's mind bottling some times how bothered people are in regards to Xbox Live. People who don't even own the console or use the service.

And STAGE please refrain from telling others not to attack someone's "financial status" when you're in here saying people are gullible and have no standards :)

I never said anyones gullible, you don't have to be gullible to grab a dangling carrot. It's called checkmate.
