Minecraft Xbox 360 getting paid DLC; PC gamers keep making your custom stuff.

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]you say that but what i think when all this fee business comes up is that if ms ever announced xbl would be free but exactly like psn i would be pretty bummed out about it.

so technically i do pay because i want to, and because in the scheme of the ripoffs i face every single day xbl fees are chicken feed.

I asked SaintWalrus this question the other day and got a lolworthy response from him, maybe you will do better. What are all these amazing features in XBL Gold that set it so far and beyond over PSN that justifies the $60/year. I will start the list

• Cross Game Chat
• Slightly faster updates (although that doesn't matter to me since I have really fast internet)

it does all that stuff in the background instead of dicking about waiting for everyone to get their shyt together.

during the load times and other waits it never shuts off the mics so while those are going on we are shooting the shyt and doing the most important things we do with our friends.... make fun of each other. :lol:

so is shyt like that going to be important to everyone? no of course not. but it is to me.

as far as it being a rip off sure lets call it that.

i piss away money all the time on stupid shyt. for an example the filter in my fridge costs $50 every few months and that is to filter my already clean water.

how stupid is that? but i like it so meh. i get ripped off on something that is mostly meaningless but i do it anyway because i like it better than regular tap water.

once you start the whole shyt i like is worth the money and things you like are dumb where do you ever stop?

All of what you just described could be done over Skype for free. If you have a laptop or PC anywhere near your system you could use that instead. I used to use my laptop just for Skype while I played on PS3 and it had the same effect.

Different strokes for different folks then I guess. I am not okay with knowingly being ripped off so if there are free alternatives that will give me the exact same experience, I will use them

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]a typical session will have me log in see some friends on, grab 3 or 4 of them and then bounce from game to game never taking us out of the group or having to find everyone and get us all on the same side for team racing or shooting or co-oping through something.

why would you guys pay for xbl when you could have free psn, a pc, an additional headset, another screen in your lap, chips and a drink!

XBL: Send 4 people invites - get on game - play game =$60

PSN with Skype: Get on game - send 4 invites - play game = free

Groups can be created on Skype so I can click 1 button and call everyone that I need to.

[QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] didnt know you could get a group of 4 people on skype and send them all psn invites to quickly create or join game sessions. i guess xbl is a ripoff :| having to use your computer to play with your friends on ps3 is a lot more of a hassle than pushing the guide button, selecting a friend and quickly creating a party mems_1224

why would you guys pay for xbl when you could have free psn, a pc, chips and a drink!

That is not a good analogy. That would imply that the trashcan chips are significantly worse than the $1 bag of chips. Here is a proper analogy between PSN and XBLA

PSN = Free hamburger XBL = $60 cheeseburger

lol @ the terribad damage control ITT

The console platform is a scam for both gamers and developers. Developers have to pay to update their in-game content, and then there is the montly online fee. No wonder console is dying.

great. so if someone chooses to play the 360 version over the pc version and buys skins what do you care? mems_1224

Almost all of your posts at systemwars (that I've seen recently) scream "why are you posting in systemwars".

You know there is a general forum section if you don't want to hear people comparing platforms?

Clicking my mouse on my laptop 4-5 times is hardly a hassle and takes at maximum 10 seconds.

anyway i'm dumb and waste money and you are smart and thrifty so you guys totally win xbl = rip.

congrats to the heard on that huge victory

now back to grinding through san andreas.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]gawd! a ps3 and a pc is bettah! and if you have a margaritaville and it dispences margaritas that is even better! stupid lems! and then if you add a bag of chips it is totally betta!

You're paying yet getting far less (compared to PC). Yeah, you're pretty dumb.

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] stupid lem. that bag of chips would cost you at least a dollar. why would you allow yourself to get ripped off when theres perfectly good food in your neighbor's trash can? talk about letting yourself get bent overmems_1224

I don't see the problem.

>360

pffffthahahah :lol:

Meh, so long as they keep releasing free content updates/bug fixes, they can upload as many paid skins as they please.

>minecraft

>360

pffffthahahah :lol:

wis3boi

The 360 is so sad, they pay for live which is already the biggest rip off in gaming and M$ STILL makes them pay for DLC that's free everywhere else. IF ANTYHING M$ shold offer paid DLC for free on Live because of the fee they already pay.

Lems sure love taking it from behind.

I think they just don't want people to have dirty skins on xbox live. Profanity isn't really allowed you know. Too bad...

It's far more cinematic and epic to open your wallet and fork out money whilst the dirty PC peasants can download skins of equal quality for free on the Internet.

Lol, gifts from Microsofts finest.

Xbox for the win?

If you must play a creation based game on console, it should be Little Big Planet 2!

OB-47

Wait is this part of the "free" updates Xbox is supposed to get. Becuse if so HA, I knew we have to pay for the damn updates.

dream431ca

Wow good comment dude, forced to pay ? wuut , atleast read the link and topic before posting next time please. its only skins .. updates are free. really dont understand why there is need for bashing when its optional ..

Damn Lemmings stay paying for things that are free elsewhere. What a bunch of tools :lol:

BPoole96

Reading comprehension ? its skins which are OPTIONAL! what a massive facepalm ..

Because its funny

Online on every platform, free. $60/year on 360

Spelunky on PC, free. $15 on 360

Minecraft skins on PC, free. Paid DLC on 360

Isnt that like saying , lol you pay for minecraft when you can play "the original" for free via mc's site .. directed to spelunky .. and live fee .. you can still get for 2 bucks for 2 months .. still using that 60 $/year yet another facepalm.. cows these days seriously.-

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="BPoole96"]

How is there value in wearing a skin that you cannot even see? If this was a 3rd person game I could understand but you can't even see the costume as you play. There were skins for LBP that costed money but there were a lot of free one. Not sure if this continued for LBP2 since I only played that agme the first month or 2 but LBP1 I played on and off for awhile

BPoole96

Haven't played it so I wouldn't know. Every gameplay I have seen was always first person

Why even comment then .. typical troll.

Well, really, anyone with half a braincell would know to get such games, heavily supported by the community, on PC ...

Not butthurt, but more like embarrased of how come some people is feeling the need to bash entertainment, its beyond me.. so im Loosingends alt now ? wth dude .. did you really reach that low ? is all just alts now , look at my join date dude .. facepalm. and my points have alot more hold to them than this typical bashing comments.. but byt the sound of it , if you feel the need to bash something , you must be butthurt or jelly.. other than that its rather embarrasing i must say no offense.

Also Updates are free on xbox, and dlc is optional, if someone decides to buy skins .. okay big deal.. :| :roll:..

Are they really goin got charge for this?

1. If its free else where then its free on xbox live.
See:http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Ostrich-Chopper/94aa339d-ea47-4f64-9387-b746999399ee*99cents on psn*
2.If the developer or publisher wants it to be free then they must pay, otherwise the user will pay this has been standard on xbla since inception.
3.skins inluclud characters from trials hd, gears of war...etc games not owned by Microsoft, hell redlynx makers of trials hd is owned by ubisoft, and well gears of war owned by epic you do know licenseing of character likeness is required right?

What I find funny is how Microsoft is the evil, and lemmings are the dumb for this...when no one is complaining about notch...you know the guy that is a millionare now from this game? odd that he wouldn't pay out money for this so it could be free to his xbox 360 fans...
I also love the oh the pc gamers get to make whatever they want...even copy works that break copyright....Put up a character owned by someone else hey its okay your on pc...

:lol: :lol: Poor lems forced to pay. :lol: :lol:

As I pointed to you earlier, there is a general gaming forum if you're going to get mad everytime someone compares a platform.

The 1.7.3 update will allow players to pick one of eight skins for their character for free, while a trial version of the Skin Pack will allow players to sample some of the new looks and browse the rest.

Welp...

Sucks for those only playing Minecraft on the 360. Do those people even exist? I just doesn't feel right on the 360.

The only reason to get Minecraft for the 360 is for splitscreen.
