TC is right, we should eat less junk food, get off our lazy butts and make our own food

Point it Xbox is the only ones who charge for online. You can get online for free with Ps3, Wii, and PC. If there were other movie theaters who didn't charge for movies, I promise you everyone would go there.

lol unless your cousin bought live by the month (which is even more money), MS already got their year pay.

[QUOTE="J-WOW"] then the 360 isnt the system for youJ-WOW

so true.

not a halo guy myself.

i was playing reach the other day at a friends house and it took FOREVER to load a multiplayer game. it got so bad we turned it off.

have fun paying to play online

the X-Box 360 is still not worth it.

what if you own an xbox 360 but don't like playing the halo reach multiplayer, is it still worth it?

Reach had pretty boring MP.

I dont have Live anymore and I dont miss it at all.

No his subscribtion ended in November thankfully

I doesn't matter. Since every other is free, paying for Live will always feel kinda like a ripoff. The norm right now for online gaming is you buy a system and you pay an ISP and that's it, you play your games online.

When you break it down monthly and daily, it isn't a lot of money. But when you have to shell out that $50 or $60 for a yearly sub, you kinda say damn, I could have used that money for something else, like a shiny new game.

Over 5 years my brother has paid around £180 for X-box live.

I paid £250 for a PS3.....Should this generation last to 2013 (It's generaly thought it will be 2012/13) he will have paid more for Live than I did for an entire console.

Don't get me wrong I think the X-box is a fine console I just feel the PS3 hasmore with it out of the box. I'm also not a big Online Multiplayer gamer (much prefer RPG'S, and single player based games) and probably wouldn't get live even if the X-box was my primary gaming consoles (Except for perhaps monthly periods when something tickles my fancy).

[QUOTE="toast_burner"][QUOTE="NeedForDog"]Xbox live isn't a lot of money. I Bought 4 years when it was on sale at amazon.com for 45$ each. Now im set till microsoft releases another boxNeedForDog

You cant just pretend it doesnt exist. the Wii has online and its free.

http://store.steampowered.com/ seems free to me.

So Xbl costs $45 plus an extra $50 a month

You have voice chat on the PS3 version aswell, you're confusing cross game chat with voice chat.

As for the numbers online....I doubt I would have a problem finding a game online after it had sales like that on Ps3 it's not like it's a backwater game no-one is playing. I would also say since im in the EU it would actually be easier considering the timesI log on would have few Americans to boost numbers and the connection lag would be less noticable. (But then again as I said.....I don't like online games.)

Edit: MAG has 256 online players acording to your more players logic it's the greatest game ever made.

Lets break it up Im using 50$ because thats the standard amazon price. Comparison Chart. Movie ticket- 6$ a person An average of 2 movies a month= 12$ Or any other entertainment. Cable for example. will run you on an average about 30$ a month Xbox live= 4.2$ a month Now for the halo reach examples A movie lasts on average about 1 hour and 30 minutes. for 6$ Thats about 1$ for each 15 minutes. Cable- 30$ If you watch on average 2 hours of television a day. Thats 60 hours a month on an average of about 2$ a day. Since xbox live is roughly about 4$ a month Thats a 1$ a week If you play halo reach for 2 hours a day. Thats 2 cents a day. We all love fast food. But to be frank. Most of us DONT need to eat it. Most of us have food at home and are just too lazy to cook it. Taco bell or any other fast food joint. Lets say 10$ a week. If you go twice a week. Thats 5$ per visit. Thats 20$ a month. 5 times the amount of xbox live. For something that can be received at home for less. Something that is only enjoyable for 5 minutes. If your just playing halo reach. Thats only 2 cents to play something that provides the same entertainment that we humans do everyday and don't give much thought to.NeedForDog

Your math is wrong. Because Xbox Live is not a pay-as-you-play service, it doesn't matter if you play 2 seconds a day or two hours; it will not be $0.02 a day. It would be 20 cents per day.

And if you go to Taco Bell or whatever twice a week for $10, $5 per visit, this does not mean that it would equal $20 a month. It would be $40 a month because you are going 8 times (2visits x $5 x 4 weeks = 40). Not only that the math is wrong, but I don't care if the service is $0.02 a day (even though it's not), I would not buy it because the service is free everywhere else.

Because pc runs on internet. A pc without it is almost useless. While an xbox can survive without internet very well.NeedForDog

So your saying XBL is cheaper then PC online because to use online on the PC you need to have internet access? but you also need to have internet to play xbl, but that doesnt matter as you may not want to play online anyway?

Jesus People are such cheap @$$'s now and days... Just pay the 60$ suck it up and put it behind you. I like to pretend that the 60$ was never there to begin with. Or that microsoft needed 60$ more dollars to build a bridge or something in africa. And i made that possible.NeedForDog

Sorry, I was just readin through the thread and came across this. Oh my, lol! I don't know what to say to this, but if people looked at me by the millions per day and thought, "He looks like he could use $60 more to build a bridge in Africa, then I'll just forget my $60 was there and just cough it up to him," then I'd be a lucky man! First of all, I wouldn't build bridges--I'd probably spend it on luxury or paying bills, either way, for my own liking.
