Stereotyping gamers around the world on a game forum really isn't any better now is it?

Stereotypes become stereotypes because, more often than not, they're true.

There is no reason to judge a whole group of people because of what you view in the world.

Hey if it wasnt for those mountain dew drinking,pimply face,racist nerds on halo the game wouldnt be what it is today.

But thats why i dont own becuz of those kids,its enough of them on CoD4 which is the game i play,buthalo 3 is just filled with those kids.

You've chosen not to use a platform with better online service, and now you're asking for a comparisson to a service with a worse online service? The irony.

"oh sorry, please don't make a comparisson between the 360 and a better online platform".

No, i`ve chosen not to burn money and i`m asking a comparisson between consoles, so think before you think.

You're burning $50 a year on LIVE. Your paying Microsoft to let them use your bandwidth and system as an ad-server, and to use your system as a game-server. The "you can't compare consoles and PCs" argument from consolites is idiotic, you're attempting to create an arbitrary distinction that doesn't exist simply so you can ignore the inferiority of your online platform.

I play XBL very frequently - even recently borrowed the COD4 360 version to see the differences.

I can PM you my gamer tag - just ask.

Its like consolites are allergic to gaming pc's O_o so many people have told me that they dont like pc's without any proper reasoning. They believe that PC's are not "fun" :?

You can`t compare Pc to consoles online, Everyone knows pc is better, so it`ll be no point in arguing about it, i was comparing ps3 to 360, go away.

"Go away" is not a solid rebuttal to his solid argument.

It`s worth it to me like i said, i rather spend 50 bucks a year then to have to pay a lot of money for a pc, i use my pc for porn only.

Uh you'll save $250 per gen for online play and another $250 on games. For $900 you can get a PC that offers much much more than consoles :)

The truth about live is that it isn't worth the money at all. But considering the alternatives are practicallynon existant wii online and endless minigames, or PS3 onlinewith about 3 games worth playing on it, live looks like a great deal. Therefore I pay for live and you'll probably end up doing the same until PSN becomesbetter andMS realise that they have to make it free.

I spent less on my gaming PC that 360 gamers spend on a 360 Elite and a year of LIVE. As I said, you're making an arbitrary distinction between the PC and consoles simply to justify paying for an inferior online service. And yet, you feel the need to critize PS3 owners for spending money on what you believe to be an inferior platform and online service?

But, I should leave you alone to be (by your own admission) second place laughing at third place?

I myself don't see the value probably because i'm a PC gamer that as free online multiplayer. For XBox 360 owners that want to do online multiplayerI guess they think it's worth the money, after all they've got no real choice anywhere.

I rather pay then have crappy online like the ps3 has, so yes i feel the need to pick on it. Second is still ahead of third, so yes i do get the last laugh.

getting something for free isnt always the best option, then again in sony's case the amount u spend on the console itself you would expect it to be free.

XBL is worth it. If you dont want to pay for it dont, Your loss in terms of entertainment and gaming satisfaction.

LIVE is $50 a year, and a generation is typically five years. So $50 x 5 = $250. It will cost you $250 to have LIVE for the generation.

Xbox 360 games are $10 more new than PC games, thus, if you buy five games a year for five years (the generation) you will have bought 25 games, 25 x $10 = $250 - you've spent $250 extra on games.

The total "hidden cost" of owning your 360 instead of a gaming PC is $500. So, your 360 ownership in the long run isn't any cheaper, you're simply dividing out costs.

-

And I have to say "ah-hah!" the real reason you're an adamant defender of the 360 comes out. You're received your gaming platform "of choice" by pure chance. Since you're lacking in consumer choice or spending power, it seems odd for you to attack the PS3. It's not just second place mocking third, it's second place mocking third in a race second place just happens to be in.

There are nastier terms for such things, I'll refrain from them.

Hmm i see i spend 100 bucks on live so far, meh i dont care :), the games are awesome, why i buy em. Pc is a lot of money and every 2 years or so you upgrade your pc, seems like you hermits forget and no i just pick on the ps3 because it`s fun.

sigh.

The saddest thing about live is people THINK they are paying for a 'better service'

The reaily is they are thinking just how MS wants them to. They are getting an inferiour service - that does have a nice interface ect. but lacks dedicated servers, let alone better ftp servers (in my country and others).

You dont get what you pay for at all - and its a scam that we have to PAY to get the PRIVILAGE to play online.

Wakeup people you are all getting ripped off - just like me.

The saddest thing about live is people THINK they are paying for a 'better service'

The reaily is they are thinking just how MS wants them to. They are getting an inferiour service - that does have a nice interface ect. but lacks dedicated servers, let alone better ftp servers (in my country and others).

You dont get what you pay for at all - and its a scam that we have to PAY to get the PRIVILAGE to play online.

Wakeup people you are all getting ripped off - just like me.

Hmm i see i spend 100 bucks on live so far, meh i dont care :), the games are awesome, why i buy em. Pc is a lot of money and every 2 years or so you upgrade your pc, seems like you hermits forget and no i just pick on the ps3 because it`s fun.TheJuiceyBar
You do realise that you are spending extra ontop of every game you buy to be allowed to play it online? Thats how live works.

You essentially dont even get the full game out of the box - you have to PAY MORE to get its full features.

Its a SCAM.

And no upgrading a PC every 2 years is rediculous. Video card is a possibily though - I usually go for 3 years.

The big difference is you dont HAVE to upgrade. No one is FORCING you. Its optinional. YOu can still play games - just lower the settings.

And the big difference is Hermits arent getting ripped off.

I simply buy gold whenever its on special - last time I got it for half price - simply because I want to be able to play with my friends on XBL. Even paying half price is a ripoff.

MS milk their users worst than any of the 3 console companies.

We do it because we want better graphics. That doesnt mean we HAVE to upgrade.
Anyone who has the patience to play on 1 console for 5 years definitely HAS the patience to play on the same pc for 5 years.

Though yes we all mostely play PC games online. For Obvius reasons.

It's impossible to explain to the anti-M$ people around here, I gave up trying two years ago, no matter how many times you bring up things like the free movies, tv shows and games, or things like the contest back in the summer that I won a free game from people that don't have it either won't or choose not to understand the appeal.

(sure I won a crappy game but it was brand new and I got $30 in credit for it when I traded it in)

Just play it and don't bother to explain to people that won't listen about why you like it.

Whenever I re-new XBL I think of a game I could be spending the same amount of money on.

And then realise I am paying for... nothing.

I'll keep enjoying XBL games, its not going to stop me from hating an unecessary sub fee.

How is it a premium online service?

I am getting a VASTLY SUPERIOUR* service to that I get with PC online games and they are FREE.

the reality is its NOT a 'premium online service'. You are simply thinking that because MS give the impression that it is. In reality you are paying for SQUAT.
