Nah. I'm sure plenty of other guys with halo avatars will come in here to back you up.

ouch

 

But if someone cant understand how going from just paying for one account to now paying for multiple on the same console is NOT a problem...then oh boy.

 

The playstation community never ceases to amaze me, just when i thought you guys couldnt get any worse you just prove me wrong :). 

Oniyide please before you try to insult others at least educate yourself on the subject, i felt embarrassed reading your commment.

your automatic assumption that he is a playstation fan amuses me greatly and is very telling of your mindset.

As is your failure to comprehend the basics of what this thread highlights for people intending to stick with their xbox 360.

I'm not assuming, his other comments in other threads are indication of who he is, also my first statement was mainly directed at the guy who was talking about my avatar unless you didnt notice two people quoted me it was easier to reply to both at once. 

What do you mean i fail to understand whats happening? Its obvious the only reason why they are getting rid of it cause later this year when they update live you only need one gold membership to use gold on all the accounts on the system. 360 and X1.

no just no, you clearly didnt read or maybe you have trouble, it states that 360 will have to have people pay for multiple accounts on one system where the One80 you will only need one.

I suppose that was what they were taking about when they said they would "support" the 360 for years to come



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

You obviously are assuming, seeing as how you said it was directed primarily towards me (someone who has owned every MS and Nintendo console since the NES, intends to buy all of the next gen consoles, and is a fan of all three companies.)

Fun fact: the PS3 was the last 7th gen console I got lol.

Anyway, the fact that me making a joke about something (that happens frequently on this site btw) drives you to say something like " just when i thought you guys couldnt get any worse you just prove me wrong" shows that you are entirely too sensitive. It's just video games. No need to get upset.

"Just killed" the family subscription? This news is months old.

Family packs should have never existed in the first place. 1 account should serve everyone on the console. Greedy M$!

It's ironic how you told someone to get educated on a subject when he was correct.

It's an Xbox One exclusive feature:

support.xcom.com : FAQ: Xbox Live Gold Family Pack Conversion to Individual Memberships :

Why is my Xbox Live Gold Family Pack converting? 

 ... Through the new Home Gold feature, a single Xbox Live Gold membership allows anyone in your home to enjoy many Gold features, like multiplayer, access to Gold entertainment apps, and more on your Xbox One.**

[found at bottom of the page]

**Home Gold benefits limited to a single, designated Xbox One console in Gold member’s home; restrictions apply. Some Gold benefits cannot be shared; features and requirements subject to change.

What happens if you have more then one console in the house, did the family pack not work across multiple systems?   Your account in the living room and each kid with a console in their bedroom all with gold accounts with the Family pack?

With the 360 yes it works accross multiple systems. I have 3 boxes, two acounts on one (my sons) and one on the remaining two (mine and a spare for the living room) all gold accounts covereved by the current Family Plan. 360 only owners are going to have to go back to the way it was before the Family Plan started, pay for each account.



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