I agree. They should increase the subscription price even more and buy tons of exclsuives and developers with that money.

$70 per year would give another $100 million which could be used for the development of incredible games.



Lol, what?? you cant be serious.

Yes I am. More revenue = more games. You don't like exclusives?

A price hike would benefit all.


A. Did they not profit something like 700 million last finacial report on live? Even if all their expences are not taken out of that i am sure that is enough to provide plenty of games.

B. Sony doesnt have a live service and they are pumping out way more exclusives.

C. Microsoft is a huge company i am sure they could invest their own money and make games rather than taking everyones. Ms imo just seem to be a little to profit happy and don't take enough risks.

You have some good points.

I'm going to e-mail Microsoft and ask them to make more exclusives.

there you go. honestly to me the only way to get more exclusives to me is to buy their games and it will spawn
sequel or new ips.

I would 100% sign up for a $100 Platinum service if it included free Xbox Live Arcade games, and like special extended demos, avatar stuff, and some other built in stuff like Hulu and built in Netflix subscription.

In fact I REALLY REALLY hope MS does this.

100 dollars? Better be as good as PSN Plus then...

A more expensive platinum service can count me in as long as the service/features keeps going crescendo.

 

I've been on Live for four years now and it is exactly what i want gaming/entertainment to become, only faster

With that extra 100-150 million dollars each year extra they should buy a small up and coming developer or something. Microsoft is somewhat lacking in first party games right now as it is. They could easily buy something good with that money.

They could buy more than 1 with that kind of money. Microsoft bought Bungie back in 2000 for less than $50 million, I can't remember the exact price all I know was that it was pretty low. I don't know if they would buy any developers though. I see them spending it to get exclusives from 3rd party developers.

Seriously? That's a damn good deal. $50 million for the company that created their biggest franchise ever.
