Anyone else own a 360 but doesn't like XBL?

I love my 360 but I'm not too big on XBL.I much rather play games like Gears of War and Halo 2 with my brother, or with some friends than I would online against some 12 year old losers.Anyone else feel this way?jimmygrace

I like it for playing sports games and racing games but I like the SP experience better for shooters and action games....MP for shooters is jus running around and shooting each other all day= yawn

I have never upgraded my silver account. I don't play online enough to justify paying for it.

Oh and it sucks that as a silver member I wait longer to play certain demo's.

u dont know what ur missing man, i used to be just like that,

u dont know what ur missing man, i used to be just like that, have my friends round on halo 2 the whole summer hols but now im 15 and a lot of my friends on my street have grown up and moved house etc, i still play with my bro but xbox live just enhances it further.

I play on XBL far more than I do on PSN.

PSN doesn't come close to offering the community options XBL does at this point.

The best thing to do is build a good friends list and play game with your friends. XBL truly shines in that aspect.

As a Gold member, I'm glad I get content first. I'd rather not have all the Silvers bogging down the network when a new demo comes out.:)

Agreed. But is it worth paying $50 for community options (that are slowly but surely comming to ps3 anyways)? The game experience is most important and in that regard psn is right there, even better with resistance dedicated servers. No host on xbl can handle 40 players like that.

RFoM is only one game though. The dedicated servers are nice, but rarely (and I mean rarely) are games over 30 players.

Any person who has truly played RFoM will tell you that most games have between 12-26 players. Few game in the 30+ players range. And rarely maxed out with 40 players.

PDZ has up to 32 players and plays fine online. IMO, PSN hasn't shown anything to make me question the $50/year I pay for XBL. Nothing.

Same with me, i dont really like play multiplay so much atm with consoles. It is more fun to take some friends home and play multiplay splitscreen or system link.

So basically you don't like Online Play at all, by not playing online you miss out a lot of great gaming.

Me.

I would feel a bit better about it being free,but having a 70euro/year fee on gold isnt sweet. Yes thats almost $100USD.

Im running out of monthly trials soon =) 

Its more fun to play splitscreen/2player mode i agree... 

I havent play XBL in a while ( my 360 died) but one thing i didnt like was those little kids online...The rest was all right..The PSN is good and at least it dosent have as much kids.oscarVD

PSN doesn't have as much kids because the PS3 has 1/3 the userbase the x360 has.

you can always mute them. i never have problems with ppl on xbl except for few run ins in gears of war. i usually just mute them if they are annoying or play in private chat. if you feel they were out of hand just put them under avoid player and report them to MS if necessary.

my worst encounter i ever had were sore losers on warcraft 3(pc) on battlenet. in rank games ppl use to send me spam hate msges since there is no voice chat. pretty pathetic.

i dont use it ;)

i only use the free service for patches demos etc.

YES, you are right. because there are less ps3 sold because it has been out less then the 360.

I love Xbox Live,

You can find any type of game,

any time of the day,

any day of the week.

I always figured XBL was obligatory if you owned a 360. Unless of course you were SUPER poor or lived out in the boonies. In which case, WHY ON GOD'S EARTH DID YOU HAVE A 360 TO BEGIN WITH?!Vandalvideo

Actually the majority of 360's sold don't have a gold account. i think i read 6 million 360's are online which include silver acount. not sure about that number though.  Lot of 360's are owned by kids.

If I didn't have 56k. I would have XBL.

But I would mute people that would talk to much or blew my ear drums out.

Voice communication is an option that is easy turned off or on.
