5 months of free Live? How? :O

 

Make a new gamertag using a new e-mail address.

You can do this up to 5 times for 1 free month of Gold each time. Only thing is that you can't keep your gamerscore.

 

When people bring up the whole "Multiple accounts on PS3" arguments they tend to completely ignore this on the 360 side of things.

I can still do this 2 or 3 more times and I tend to use them when there isn't much to do for a month in terms of new releases. I just fire up a new account and get to use my Netflix account for a month on the 360.

Not everyone deletes these new accounts either, this is why mine has 3-4 accounts on it at the moment.

But the idea of it is to have 5 months free , you dont activate each at the sametime and only activate it when the account before goes silver. So MS wouldnt count all of these because chances are you dont give a damn about the silver accounts and rarely even sign in on then.

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

There are good reasons why more PS3s would go online.  The PS3 is an expensive console for one, the type of people buying it are probably more likely to have internet access, and since the PSN service is free also are very likely to create an account.

The 360 however is a lot cheaper, so more less wealthy people are likely to be buying it.  I would bet that less 360 owners have internet access than PS3 owners, which reduces the number of possible accounts, they are less likely to want to pay to play online if they go for cheap options,  

lol, you mean the elite own PS3s while the X360 is for peasants? ^^

McGill added: "Sony do what Sony want to do and if they think that's right for their business to say those kind of numbers then they can do and will do whatever they want to do. Do I believe them? No."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These last lines really confused me, did he say will do what Sony does so if they are counting duplicate accounts we'll do it aswell??

I took as him saying "Sony can and will do whatever they want to do". Not saying MS will do it too.

Does only PSN have duplicate accounts? Can this happen on Live - i.e. one console with multiple accounts registered?

Silver accounts yeah, but I doubt many people would have several Gold accounts (since they're not free).

 

 

 If you resigester for a new account then you get a gold membership free for one month.  So if you want to play online games then just keep on resigistering a new account every month.  Thats what im been doing and I have like 10 accounts now.
