[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]Why pay $50 USD a year to play games when I could just play them for free instead?cobrax25

I agree with you. See, Im in a unique situation. I own a high end pc AND a 360. For those that just own a PC there are some games that will not port to the PC or port much later. The games that do port, Im sure people will pay $50 for a year of live. Jesus christ you make it seem like the PC folks are third world poor. If they afford to keep their pc upgraded, surely then can afford a subscription to live which is much less than a gig of ram...... :shock:

People will pay for live to be able to play the game online. Its really no way around it. My subscription fees to various crap is: Live, Everquest, Comcast and I believe thats it. I wouldnt need to buy pc live because I have a 360. Those that only have a pc will pay for live if they want to play online.

Lets say Forza 2 is ported to the PC. How will someone who wants to play Forza 2 ONLINE on their PC play it w/o a subscription to live? You may not pay for the service but people will.... We are agreeing to disagree.....

wow, never seen a thread with this much ignorance in it. Despite how many times it has been said that both a) people with xbox live gold accounts already will not have to pay for gold features on the pc and b) online gaming will remain FREE on pc... people still just believe whatever they f*ck they want to.JimJackJose

I know XBL is the best Online gaming service out now so why wouldn't it be better than X-fire. Look the Silver plan is free and you can still chat with your friends, download demos and videos, and play Online games. Look if PC gamers can't pay $5 a month they better quit PC gaming.

Can you video chat in X-fire? Can you download demos or videos using X-Fire? MS will have more servers than X-fire will ever have.

Plus, xfire+purepressure.com, Its WAAAAY better then Live. This tracks all your stats, easy to set up scrims, for games like CSS, CoD... and it has tornys. Which you can win money.coolguy1111

XBL has leader boards and has Clan support too. Oh it will have lots of tornys you can bet on that.
