Forums - Microsoft - MS reply to 100 Dollar Live, NPD Results & claim their games look the best

Garnett on 20 October 2009

Quote me on this.

 

If MS raises the price, to $100, and thats the minimum price to pay, no options available. i will sell my 360 for a PS3 slim or a Wii

Live will not get raised in price for this generation imo, they may on the other hand release a diamond account for example with extra benefits I'd guess.

Microsoft : we generate more $ per customers because we charge for Internet connection while our competitors give it for free and we sell proprietary accessories that cost an arm and a leg...( 100$ wifi anyone ?)

 

Hurrah !

Woah! Microsoft are charging me for my internet connection?

I thought it was Sky?

Sure they are.
on the 360 you pay twice to connect to the Internet.

Once to your ISP, and once to Microsoft... 



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Wow! I can't believe he said XBL probably won't double in price over the next few "months"?

I love my 360. I get tired of Microsoft's greediness. The end of this interview makes it pretty obvious.

I also noticed that he did'nt deny a smaller increase for live. This is sad. Microsoft will shoot themselves in the foot if they do this. Greedy bastards.

Then it isn't free from the competitors either as you're paying at least once.
Once to your ISP.

MS don't charge you to get on the internet. They charge you for multiplayer. You can do everything you can on gold but that and party chat for free on silver.

Do you even have a 360?

Don't you need gold membership to watch Netflix movies too ?

EVERYONE SOULD DO AS I DID, GO TO XBOX.COM AND SEND THEM A LETTER ON WHY U WOULD SWITCH TO PS3 IF THEY RAISED THE PRICE OF XBOX LIVE..

YOU GET ENOUGH OF THEM AND MAYBE THEY WILL RETHINK THE MESS THEY ARE GOING TO CAUSE THEM SELFS.

I PUT THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY LOWER THE COST CONSIDERING THAT THE PS3 IS FREE AND THAT BEING ONE OF THE BIG REASONS PEOPLE CHOOSE PS3 TO XBOX.

here is the page you need

 https://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xbox360/emailsupport.aspx

 

Under problem type I choose safety concern or issue, since I do have a issue with this.

Yup. And a Netflix account.
