[Note: Shamelessly ripped off from a Destructoid article. Bleeped most foul language.]

Let me tell you a little story. It's about a young boy named Michael. Michael was a fan of videogames and bought all the latest titles. His favorite game was Call of Duty, and all his friends played it as well. However, unlike his friends, Michael played Call of Duty on the PlayStation 3. At first, everything was fine. His friends played CoD on XBL, and he played CoD on PSN. They all were good friends, and talked often of their gaming experiences.

Then one day, something strange happened. One of Michael's friends said, "Oh man, playing Call of Duty, the hit videogame from Activision, was great last night with the new map pack we bought."

"What new map pack?" asked Michael. He had never heard of this.

"The new maps for Call of Duty, the biggest game of the year and available now in all good stores. Surely you downloaded them last night! We all did. We got them from Microsoft's award-winning Xbox Live!"

"No," replied Michael. "There were no maps on the PlayStation Network."

"Oh my God," said his ten-year-old friend. "Oh my f***ing God. Are you serious?"

Michael looked horrified, realizing that he no longer could join in with his friends. The other boys glanced at each other nervously. One shifted on his feet uncomfortably. The lead boy looked Michael up and down with a sneer.

"I'm sorry Michael," he said spitefully. "But you cannot be our friend anymore. It's time we pulled your clothes off and kicked you naked through the village."

And strip him they did. They pushed him to the ground, all eighteen of them, and tore at his pantaloons and tunic. They ripped the woven cloth from his back until he was naked and ashamed, and they spat at him and called him names like "beast-child" and "mother's laundry." They hoist him to his feet and took turns booting him on his bare bottom. Michael stumbled away, crying and red, but still they kicked him, all through the village, and sang of how he did not download the new map pack for Call of Duty. Lo, did the villagers laugh. Old Man Burns, the blacksmith. Grandulf, the apothecary. Even mayor Pompadour had a good old chuckle and pointed at Michael while calling him a "f***ing pr!ck." 

That night, Michael's father hanged himself by the neck, leaving a note that he was "ashamed" of raising "that worthless worm who played Call of Duty on PSN instead of XBL like a damn darn human being."

And that is why you play games on Xbox Live.

Hum... I really don't know what to say. I doubt exclusive maps for Call of Duty sell consoles xD



I guess I'm sticking to Xbl, just because of this story. Heart wrenching.



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d. 
Dark Souls > Skyrim.
Halo 4 is the best damn FPS since Halo 3.
Proud pre-orderer of 2 PS4's and an Xbox One. 

Currently Playing: Dark Souls II, South Park
Playstation 4: MGS V GZ, Killzone: Shadow Fall, NBA 2k14.

Stop trying to act like Xbox live is something special.



That is actually quite believable.

Hmm I would think the fact that he can't play with his friends because he has the opposite system would be worse than not having some dlc map.

Who cares if he had the DLC map or not, all his friends would be talking about what cool things they did "together" last night while playing in the same game. Meanwhile Michael would have been playing with random strangers and thus can't join in on the convo.



This is old but funny nonetheless. Sadly its probably the best thing xbl has going for itself.

What?  Keeping popular with 10yr old boys?



Not sure if it making fun of call of duty on ps3 or your basic Xbox fan lol



Seriously, that is such an immature article. Was it written by a 13yo?
