Can one pay for XBL Gold by month instead of by year?

Yes, but only with a credit card subscription. You can buy 3 month time cards at retail stores as well. 


Wait, you can't like buy just one month?

Just 3 months and 12 months if you buy a time card. You can get just one month by signing up for an XBL subscription with a credit card and then cancelling after the first month. 


Ugh, alright.

Ugh, alright.

There is a One Month card on Amazon for £6. A little pricey but that is because it is priced so that the more time you buy (upto 12 moths) the cheaper, per month, it is. You can get some pretty good deals at CDKeys (3 month, 6+1 month, 12 month, 12+1 month)

Yeah.. No thanks. This just reinforces exactly why online subscriptions are bullshit.

Paying more for one month at a time rather than less for longer subscriptions reinforces why online subscriptions are bullshit? Really? Because I'm pretty sure that's how all subscriptions to/for ANYTHING work.

Also here's a redirect for a thread from Wright: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=183415&page=1#

In addition, was replaying Blue Dragon recently. Eh...it's definitely not the best RPG ever. Let's put it kindly I guess

I stopped halfway through, just suddenly for some reason got bored and never went back or bothered trying to get into it again Lol, didn't really like the characters either tbh....the dragon stuff was cool Lol but can't really remember it

Yeah the characters always felt totally lifeless and without character for me; also fighting poo got dull after the 100th time doing it. 

Maybe it's just me, but the whole "fight with dragons" thing was a needless gimmick IMO; would prefer if you could just fight normally. Ah well. It had promise but lacked soul.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

WTF was wrong with Blue Dragon? It and LO got me into JRPGs. Loved both LO more. I was more action rpg. If they announce sequels ill be so freaking happy

As I said before the whole thing just seems a little hollow. The boss battle music is great I concede, and LO is a masterpiece (it is!), but Blue Dragon just never did anything for me. Seems like I'm not the only one here who thinks that.

If you're looking for good JRPG's, I would advise getting FFVII, VIII and IX or for something more modern (if you have a Wii) Xenoblade. Alternatively there's Tales of Vesperia for the 360, if you've not yet picked that up. All excellent.

Hmpf.

You can't keep doing this Wright; we get it! You prefer The Last Story over Xenoblade, but you're probably the (less than) 1% on this one. When I'm gonna suggest a game and only one per system, I'm going to choose the one which is most popular and most well-recieved. 

Apologies. Though, if you've time TLS is alright as well

So, popularity means something is good nowadays? You disappoint me Cone :/
