Forums - Microsoft - Will You Be Paying More For Xbox Live Next Generation?

michael_stutzer on 14 February 2013

I hope Microsoft increases the price. 75$ a year sounds reasonable.

Why is the single player free by the way? Make it 25$ a year if you want to play single player. Xbox has the best OS hands down, it isn't cheap.

Cool, a blanket statement with no real provable grounds in fact.


...and because MS fans have little to no defence? 

...and god forbid there are multi-console owners with an opinion.

Nah, we have minimum every week a thread from a Sony fan about Xbox live so his statement it is not blank...It is a fact...

And mult-console owners can still be a Nintendo/Sony/Ms fan...   Think for a chance or do us a favour and stop posting thanks.

There are plenty MS fans that say this dislike paying for LIVE, but have no choice, or that they stopped paying, or that they will go with PS next gen.  So his statement is made up.

The notion that someone cannot be a fan of multiple consoles is very blind too.

...and I will post wherever I fucking want to. 

Then why it is like almost a sony fan who create a thread about Xbox live and its cost? If you have to believe Vgchartz everyone is stopping paying and get PSN plus but all I see that Xbox live accounts were growing in numbers and Sony shutting up their mouth(exactly the reason why so many are popping up this week)..

No it is not so blind.  People will always have a favourite or will like one better. Even about things they don't have any knowledge about.

Well you can post not said you should stop.

I don't mind paying for my Xbox Live gold and neither do the Millions of other gold subscribers. Speaking of buying gold...... their just bought another year for $35.

Cool thread, it's gotten me excited to see what different plans they have next gen. I wanna see what the God Tier offers. I can't wait to suck MS' cock, let them bust on my face, re-size my asshole through their rape an so on. Next gen can't come soon enough.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

They are not fussed because they haven't got a choice in the matter. If they want to access the online features of the xbox they have to pay simple as that. This argument has been flogged to death at this stage.


They have a choice..  they can get rid of the 360 and buy a PS3 for instance.  They dont... why is that?

Because they have invested in the hardware already? Bought games, made friends online and got achievement points. Most gamers don't want to lose that so again they have no choice but to pay it. 

Xbox had Live since 2002......people knew what they were getting into when they bought 360, regardless of its price compared to PS3, since it continues to outsell PS3 in the biggest video game market. Resorting to the marketing excuse is a fools response and frankly a overused crutch.  Its not like it came as a surprise.....

Perhaps, I dont know, heres a crazy thought, maybe what Live offers is worth paying for? I know, I know, crazy theories right?

What does it offer though that is worth $60 more than a free online service? Enlighten me please. Steam is free aswel and that is an amazing service.

Like is said before, the price is expected to increase because of people like you who are happy to oblige and pay the price with a smile on their face. Microsoft would be out of it's mind not to ask even more money from those fans.

No, I will not. If the price goes up I will settle for the single player experience.



Even at this point I don't feel like I'm using something that should justify the price I'm paying. Online multiplayer is all I'm paying for, but I guess that's my fault (for not utilizing the features).

Cross game chat is a given, but its just faster, more seamless to get where you want to go and connect with friends. You pay for the ease and convienence, with weekly marketplace deals.

Its completely subjective. And dont use steam as a crutch, as many pro PSN users seem to do.
