Actually, that'sa good thing. Afterall, Gold members are giving MS $50 a year, so we deserve some benefits beyond PVP.
EDIT: So people will stop attacking me...I agree, it is a rip of on MS part. However, for GOLD MEMEBERS it's good, since we're getting more for out money.

They downgraded the service for those who don't pay in order to make the gold membership look like a better deal.

This is ripping off.

No you dont have to pay for demos,you have to pay for a gold membership and then you can download.MS isnt going "o you have to pay $5 to download this demo",its just to get people to pay for gold.

But good thing i bought my $50 membership so now i dont have to pay for anything and i get to use a online service that doesnt suck like psn.

i remember i used to have to spend £7 a month on a magazine with a disk taped to the front to get demos, i havnt spent a penny on magazines since live introduced downloadable console demos. and if i want to download a pc demo of the internet i need to sign up for a premium service if i want to get a high speed and priority over the free users.

my point. dont be such a tight ****

Thats the only one, and its more than just a standard demo. (although I am not downloading it).

And as for MrPostman4Chi saying that psn sucks. You don't even have a ps3 so keep your peanut gallery comments to yourself.

yep, you could have known. anyway. for 14 cents a day you get a great online service imo.

if it was free, it would be the same quality and quantity as PSN... i don't want that (although i have a pS3 and three accounts)

When more people are downloading from the 360 server it would take longer for everybody. Why should Gold Members have to wait.

So you make a thread about not being able pay for XBL because you are too lazy/cheap to do so? But Im sure you would gladly hand over your money to Sony for Prologue now wouldnt you?

Well your going to piss and moan five years from now when you aren't playing X360 anymore, but want a game of Halo and realize you can't play it without paying $50 to do so.

Online gaming shouldn't cost money. A game should. Also, no one ever says "bu bu bu" except for trolls. Check your sources. ^_^

That's your argument? Prologue which offers several tracks, 16 cars, online play, etc... That's one hell of a demo. The fact is as an x360 owner you don't have the option to even play Gran Turismo, meanwhile I can still play Burnout and DMC4 day one on PSN for free.

It's disappointing how many people on X360 are standing up for MS, they are shafting the majority of users on X360, yet the minority of gold users are all for it. Why?? So they can feel better about their $50, so they get an ego trip. Pretty sad.

ANd the game content is huge. A ton of demos, game videos, xbox originals, a ton of arcade games.

On top of that there are movie downloads, tv downloads, music, etc for people that wanna see some extra stuff.

All in all marketplace is great. IF anything the PSN is a joke for the gigantic lack of content compared to xbox live and xbox live marketplace.

Buying points and then being charged for gamerpics etc etc is silly. Sadly, I'm unable to buy these points however, as they don't even accept debit cards. I'd have thought they'd accept any means of getting their hands on my money.

if I still play games wouldn't I already be a member? Even if I wasn't, I would just get a one month card. That's 7.99 not $50, good try though.

It's a small amount, and I doubt it deters little kids at all. Anyway, I just don't think online gaming is worth any money at all.

It is a total rip. I don't even play games online, I only use the live service for demoes and such. No way I'm paying 40 quid ($80) for that privilege. Now I have to wait a week for demoes (it isn't a couple of days it's seven). I can't compare the online services of the 360 and PS3 cos I don't have a PS3, but paying for demoes on time is not on...

nah, it's pretty good.

Buying points and then being charged for gamerpics etc etc is silly. Sadly, I'm unable to buy these points however, as they don't even accept debit cards. I'd have thought they'd accept any means of getting their hands on my money.

You can buy the points on sites like play.com and in shops. I only use them for arcade games.

[QUOTE="darkslider99"]Actually, that'sa good thing. Afterall, Gold members are giving MS $50 a year, so we deserve some benefits beyond PVP.CytrusNatural

They downgraded the service for those who don't pay in order to make the gold membership look like a better deal.

This is ripping off.

When more people are downloading from the 360 server it would take longer for everybody. Why should Gold Members have to wait.

I couldn't agree more. If people don't want to pay for gold, then to hell with them. I don't care what they do to silver accounts

i can see how you feel like that for blowing 50$ a year on XBL

you wouldnt be that way if you knew what it was like when everyone can download a game the same day for FREE

Sorry scooter, I've got PSN too. I know what its like when everyone can download them for free on the same day, I just don't care. My live downloads are faster than my psn downloads, and if silver members getting screwed is what it takes to keep it that way... I'm all for it.

Yup. Something all PS3 owners get on the same day.

Way to go Microsoft.

I agree somewhat with SolidSnake35. I don't ever use the Marketplace, unless it's game-related.

ANd the game content is huge. A ton of demos, game videos, xbox originals, a ton of arcade games.

On top of that there are movie downloads, tv downloads, music, etc for people that wanna see some extra stuff.

All in all marketplace is great. IF anything the PSN is a joke for the gigantic lack of content compared to xbox live and xbox live marketplace.

its the same way as when people say "im not buying a ps3 for the bluray player since im not going to watch movies"

i didnt buy my 360 for "gamevideos, tv downloads, music, arcade games, xbox originals ect" i just bought it it play online. that was before i got my ps3

We don't pay for demos, just wait for 1 week and it will be over. Ps3 is the one who pays for demos....about 40 dolares for a grand turismo??? Lolfelipealcar

You mean a game that contains hundreds of Cars and plenty of tracks? Gee thats not a demo.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] It's a small amount, and I doubt it deters little kids at all. Anyway, I just don't think online gaming is worth any money at all.

It's not the amount that is important.
