dunno - I dont have a cell and I partially blame that for not having a job. If I were more easily accessible then I believe I'd have a job already...

Sguy - What happens when you are driving down the highway and your engine poops out on you and you need a tow at 2am and the nearest exist are 2+ miles away? What happens when someone tries to mug you in the park at night and your badly injured and need medical attention. What happens when there is a work emergency and you need to be called in but are away from your home? Cells in this modern day is a necessity. They are a safety precaution.

Congratulations, you completely showed this forum how retarded you are.  Don't try to act all innocent and naive.

Oh and by the way, you are probably a 40 year old virgin living with grandma and using her makeup on the weekends to go out and gossip with your cross dressing friends before you all huddle together and spoon.  By the way, this is not an insult, you just have to comprehend english.

But movie/TV downloads? Silver (the free account) can access those. Prices are $2-$6 on XBL, and $1.99-$6.99 on PSN. With a lower upper end, I'd say MS wins that one. And downloadable games? Same deal. Call that one a draw- it's game price to game price. But... wireless? Really? I need a paid gold account to get my 360 online wirelessly??

 dunno001 - we were talking about a gold account were we not?  I was also throwing features of each system.  You definition of a "need" varies on different levels. I said with a career. the "want" would be a better cell phone the way he was using it in comparison. thanks for playing

I think that was pointed out back on page 2 3 or 4 of this thread. (more than once even)

I live for the day when a company allows cross platform play. I'd love to be able to almost double the competition in some of my games.

XBL > PSN btw. ;)

Oh I saw, just figured he needing some further reinforcement to realize we are speaking the truth

blackops said: I think even if 360 gets a price cut,it's not enough to boost sales because everybody that wanted an xbox at $200 already got it and everyone was waitin for the ps3 price cut. Customers won't really wana buy a non blu ray player console when there is one for the same price

That's not entirely true... while I would like a PS3 now that a cheaper slim version is available, I won't be buying it for Blu-Ray... I already gave up waiting and bought a standalone Panasonic player.  So for me, Blu-Ray isn't even a factor... just the game selection.

I am impressed.  This is a true gamer!

Alright guys, cool it with the personal insults. This applies to both sides of the argument.

It would've been me. And we can talk about a gold account, that's fine. But you're passing off the costs to those things as though you NEED a gold account to access all of them, and that's not true. However, if you want to be really technical, the cost of a gold account is fixed regardless of the amount of stuff you do on it. Which means if you want to look at, and use, all of these features, the monthly fee (which is technically under $4, the 12 month cards always have an extra month free, and 50/13
Numbers really can be manipulated to say whatever you want.
