Maintenance maybe? But even then it should stay up in some fashion... >_> When I finally get my 360 I sure as hell won't be paying for XBL :


haha too bad for you :D

it's like buying a mountain bike to ride exclusively on regular roads

or buy a rafting boat and stay on calm waters

 

it's still cool but it defeats the real purpose....

 

it always blows my mind people complaining about the price of XBL.... honnestly I'll say it... to me they all sound like cheap ass gready people and I almost feel sorry for them.... no offence I just express my feeling

 

I've been working at a bar for a while now... and it always amaze me how people come to drink spend a tone of money on beer and liquor and are too cheap to pay 3 bucks to get in the nights we do have a live band playing.... it's less than 2/3 of a guinness god damn it.... the price of XBL is what 50 bucks a year or something.... ??? it's a what 2 bottle of coke at the gas station per month... if everybody had principles strong enough to refuse to do something that insignifiant just to stand by there opinion the world would know peace and unconditional universal love trust me.... conclusion it's just retarded stuborness, you guys are fools

It'd be insane for someone to pay that fee if they are content with an alternative service. Saying that someone is being stubborn, greedy and that you feel sorry for them simply because you don't see eye to eye with them makes you think you are quite the condescending fellow.

I have a PS3, PC and XBox 360. Never have I had to pay to play online during all my years as a PC gamer. I'm quite sure we quite sure you'd agree that, at the very least, PC has optimal online services? So why pay money if your needs are already being met? Does it make you a sad person? A greedy person?

Secondly, just because anyone could easily find $50 a year does not make it necessarily a sound choice to purchase this for the individual.

As to your bar example: The people who refuse to go to your bar on nights there are covers obviously are not so devoted to your bar that they're willing to spend extra money to experience something they're not interested in. They could easily walk across the street and have their usual night out, basically having the same experience, without wasting any money.

How is that cheap!? Unless they are totally inconvienencing themselves by having to go a relatively far distance to another bar, I'd say it's the logical any non-wasteful person would do.

Anyhow, in short, if you don't see a value in something, regardless of cost, it's not cheap to refuse to pay for it.

Let's see....$4.17 a month players to keep a secure bandwith which adds no extra charge to companies with online games and has indie games on it free of bandwith cost

VS

Free online with no secure bandwith,Cost companies with online games to maintain their MP features and chrages inde game makers to have Games and Demo's on it....

Yep XBL FTW

Not sure what that has to do with my post but *pat on the back*

I simply said that it's not necessarily greedy or cheap to own a 360 and not pay for LIVE.

Why must people always twist things into a 360 vs PS3 thing?

Hummm....I don't think Hair Bands are popular nowadays

"When I finally get my 360 I sure as hell won't be paying for XBL :"

Your loss

how is it his loss?

imho ive lost 150 + dollars paying for three years of live.  my subscription is running out and i'm going to let it.  i'll be doing my online gaming on ps3 until 360 FINALLY makes live free.

due to unrelated to online issues with ms, i cant stomach paying them again for something free.

im a 360 and xbl lover, and im going to the other side.

what exactly does he miss out on?  l4d maybe is the only thing (note that i hate halo)

anything else you can do online for free elsewhere.

 



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

^^^

the money ive spent on xbl i could use to replace my latest rrod, this one out of warranty

ms can suck my willy tbh

between live and systems ive spent way too much on a leisure activity

ive been on xbox live for 3 years, and when i play ps3 i see no real difference aside from one or two cosmetic things

it is a scam plain and simple, and this is coming from a dedicated 360 user, who probobly has more gamerscore than you do

That is not true, you paid for a (good) service.

It is like saying that you paid to send some letter via the post while you could have done it yourself by walking... wtf ....



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

So becuase Sony's tactic against XBL was to make PSN free, XBL is a scam all of a sudden?......XBL is older than Sony's online efforts...Nothing has changed as far as pricing.

XBL is way more sucsesful than PSn plain and simply becuase on average people are willing to pay for it....You think PSN is free...But really it's not to everyone... And What's up with taxing DLC's?
