how do xbox 360 gamers feel about paying $250 for xbl?

I haven't paid for Gold all year and I haven't paid at MSRP before that. I got Gold free till 2013. So that feels good.

$250 over the course of 5 years is nothing. This is not news, nor is it 'ownage' of any type. musicalmac

WellI don't really care...i mean it's $50 bucks a year...the only time i really remember about the price it's when it's time to renew. Otherwise i don't even pay attention to the whole price thing.

[QUOTE="chaplainDMK"][QUOTE="AiurProtoss"]How does it feel to play your games in sub-HD to 720p with little to no AA and had to dish out 600 dollars for your system??AiurProtoss

Im coming from this as a PC gamer, laughing a people trying to bash each others sytems and jsut pointing out the faults. TC is bashingon Live when he has paid for a system that cant run games past 720p. He is trying to bas on people "OMG 250 DOLLARS AHAHAHAAAA" assuming that everyone that has a 360 has had live for 5 years. real smart huh?

I don't get it so every PS3 game that do run at 720p isn't.?

Last time i check there were even 1080p native games on PS3,720p by the ton,so i don't get where you get that idea,even more when the xbox 360 is also full of sub HD games.

I don't mind paying $7 now $10 a month.

I've paid for 3 years of XBL. 40 - 40 - 45.

i don't play online, but if i did 50 pounds a year is a bargain, i pay 85 pounds a month for my TV,phone and internet, virgin XXL for the win.delta3074

you don't play online?

i only play online everynow and then, and i enjoy every minute of it.

playing uncharted 2 online is a blast and i'm thinking about getting modern warfare 2 or or something.

as much as I like XBL I like not paying for it more so I've pretty much stayed with online games being only bought for PS3.

I have no qualms with paying for live. I don't pay full price (about 25 or so a year), but it's a fantastic online service that's proven itself worth the cost in my experience.

im devastated to be honest.

spending £200 over the last 5 years is such a enormous amount of money im not sure is something il ever get over. just think of all the plums i could of bought with that.

CuteCakes

paying a sub fee for black ops? you've got to be kidding me. i was about to get black ops as one of my main online games.

How is this thread stil alive? It's this simple.

If in your opinion paying $60 or so a year is worth it, then that's cool, if not that's also cool. Why do you guys care what other people use THEIR money on?

how do xbox 360 gamers feel about paying $250 for xbl? since 2005?
some 360 fanboys actually thanked microsoft for raising the price of xbl to $60.

CuteCakes

That's not a good point at all. You have no option but to pay for Live if you want to play online. You don't need PSN+ to have online as its already free.

I don't pay $250 to have XBL. I usually go with the 3 month membership and then another after 3 months have gone by. I don't mind it since what i am paying is very good quality. I like playing Halo 3, COD4, GRAW (there are still some people on it) and Gears of War online. And like getting demos to see if like a game that i might be interested in or not. And there are many other great features on it too. Its good deal. But i think its completely unnecessary to raise the price.

I post on another forum as well,and there people even sayed that they charge because that money go's into the pockets of the guys who makes firmware upgrades,and add funtionalities.

Making facebook for 360 cost money,so MS has to charge,but they don't get that making facebook for PS3 also cost money and sony charge me nothing.

On live you are chargeto be allowed to connect to other players using your won connection which you already pay for,hosting games on your own ISP without MS investing a cent,since most games are P2P,which we all know will always had teh host advantage problem.

The rise of price on reported by Mayor Nelson him self,show how mad was the community about the rise in price,MS is just getting the 4 billion they loose last gen and the 1 they loss this one on RROD out of 360 fans pockets,and they just don't care,

They believe every single word MS say about superiority which in this case is just cross game chat,so while people are charge more for facebook,sony made Home which is not the greatest thing ever,but at least is game related,you can play mini games win stuff,and all free,i think it cost sony more to make Home that it cost MS facebook,twitter,last FM and netflix apps,hell it probably cost more to sony than what MS spend running live.

I feel great, actually. How about you?

I described it well in GUFU and repeating it here would get me a slapping from the mods. Let's just say it's a wonderful euphoric feeeling.Floppy_Jim

what do you mean? please elaborate.

Imagine if Jesus himself were to perform a certain act on you....only that can match the joy of paying for XBL. I'd seriously get modded if I elaborated on that :P

But to seriously answer your question: Live is a rip off and yet a drop in the ocean compared to money I've spent this gen in total. If I had to pick a "feeling" it would be....exasperated. I know it's a rip off but I know I'm going to keep paying for it so it's wasted effort to complain.

[QUOTE="crimsonsabre"]monkey's could do nearly all those things. can you?killerfist

that's great. hope you didn't get offended by my other post.

i choose to pay for things i want, it's as simple as that.

once again the "i don pay for free stuff" crowd fails to realize everything you pay for is free in it's raw form you are paying for the refinement that makes it more useful.

whether it's the metal in your car or the water pumped into your home it's out there for free, you pay for it to be more useful to you.

[QUOTE="killerfist"] Oisee.. Anyway..I feel like I never missed out on anything that both Ps3 and 360 had to offer thanks to those 250. :) killerfist

that's great. hope you didn't get offended by my other post.

i thought you might have been on of the hardcore fanboys. anyways i deleted it.

that is all.

Online play isnt much of an option IMO. You would be losing much of the system"s features. PSN+ is an option. Its a discount plan, nothing more.

Plus I could take a little worse FREE service than 60 dollar, a little better one. And no, I dont care for cross game chat.

PSN essentialy does for free what XBL does a little better for 60 bucks.

91% of gamers who care enough about gaming to come onto a gaming forum. I wonder what the the percentage would be if you factored in the other more casual gamers.
