Well, assuming your Xbox lasts 6 years it costs you $288 to have online service. Maybe they should just add that cost to "gold Live" 360s up front. Xbox Live! is not innovative. It's just a subset of PC functionality put on a console. It's an inevitability. And in many ways its better on the PS3 (central servers instead of a peer server negate the 'host advantage' found in some games and make the experience better in general, etc). But, hey, making a peer the server saves MS money. If they don't want to spend as much money on online as Sony does, that's fine. I've played GTA 4 games where the person hosting didn't have a fast enough connection. IT sucks. |
dude...please read the following line...
YOU CAN HAVE FREE XBOX LIVE GOLD!
Create a different username every month. It asks you "do you want silver or gold"...you chose silver...it asks you again "Are you sure?"...say yes. then it tells you..."We are pleased to offer you 30 days of Xbox Live Gold".
Once that expires, do it again in 30 days...takes 3 minutes. You will have to migrate your freinds and lose gamescore points(Which wii doesnt have anyways) but its free...
If 4 bucks a month is too much to someone, this should keep those people happy.
