eh ill choose the burger since its one of my favorite foods. Especially homemade and done at a bbq.
I hate it when people try to rationalize by decreasing the price in relation to time.
Sure a dollar a day doesn't sound like much either, but does almost $400 a year sound good? Yeah my car insurance only costs like 5 dollars a day, but do I like paying 150 a month?
Do I like paying 3 bucks a day for my phone bill?
NO!
This irks me more than anything. Yes Xbox Live is great. Is it worth 50 bucks a year? Purely subjective, obviously I pay it so it must be for me.
But does saying $1 a week make it any less expensive?
No way in hell. :|
Sigh. It's not $1.00 a week. Show me where you can pay $1.00 a week and I'll update my subscription. The problem for me is when I can either drop $60 on a new game or XBL, it's painful to spend that money on XBL. I think XBL is a great service, but considering they've up the price over bells and whistles I can get mostly free on PC and others that I'll never use... it just makes paying for it unappealing.With all the talk of how bad Xbox Live is and how it is not worth it. But then you say wait:roll: I'm a gamer and I want the best should I even be in gaming if I can not pay $1.00 a week:?
Thought of the day here people lets get realistic about this.

yeah but if you like add up your subscription over like 10 years its like near $500 or something. that $500 could of been spent on something else

$500 in 10 YEARS.....YEARSS. Lets see comparatively the cost of a new car with insurance and gas for the same time period would cost you at LEAST $50 000
[QUOTE="ohthemanatee"]if you want the best get every system :PMortgageMan007
I have each 360 PS3 and PC
So the Wii isn't a system ?Saying as I can play all the Multiplat games free on the PSN (Which I rarely do Single player ftw) I never really got into Live. Admitedly I've only had it for two months which came as one month deals free with a game, but after Pc gaming on certain titles I don't see how anyone can call it superior to Pc services like steam, especially not £40 better either it's ludicrous to think it warrants that price point.
How can people say its cheap when its competition is free?
It's like saying if a bag of rice costs £80 its cheap because a sports car costs over £15,000. there's no sense in it.

Yes but it could buy you a decent Gaming Rig, surround sound, Tv, Holiday etc etc all of which > XBL
it's not the money per se that bothers me, but rather the fact that I have to pay to play online.

same here, it could be $1 for a year and I wouldn't get it xD
For real. I mean, seriously, come on, now. In the context of the thread, it made perfect sense. It wasn't badly constructed at all. Do you get confused at a lot of pronouns, too? One moderation wasn't enough for ya, huh? Fun fact; people often deviate from thread topics on this board. If you honestly can't see how that could be read as such, well....my sympathies. ;)[QUOTE="ender2009"]

In relation to the thread, I don't see how it can be misinterpreted. Then again, this is system wars. :roll:

And it is badly constructed. A properly constructed statement would have been "What exclusives does the 360 have that's worth paying $1 a week for Live?". You see, without the "for Live" part, it can easily be construed as a remark about paying $1 a week for 360 games. More senseless statements on this board have been made. Glad to inform. :)
What is the difference between your thinly veiled insults and his? the only difference is that you are on the GUFU union so you get more of a free pass here. Other than that I see no reason for getting so condescending when you are clearly not a better "debater" than him. And yes the statement you are arguing about is perfectly understandable in the context of this thread. It is a poor debate tactic to take things out of context to make a point by the way.I think your mod history says otherwise. :PWhat mod history? I was under the impression GUFU members don't get modded?[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]
Speak for yourself.
I'm an angel :]Verge_6
Look, Bill Gates gets it! Oh wait...Money is money, and charging something that is free on other platform is just weak.

my thoughts exactly.
Wait untill it becomes 2$ a day because of the backdoor deals for Call of Duty 13. :DYears later and lemmings are still trying to justify XBL gold with the dollar-per-week argument...sad really.

What's the difference? Well, for one, I know the ToS. ;)
As for you chiding me over debate techniques...oooh, teh ironies. Hold on, I gotta go show this to the guys in the IRC. Lemme see who's on...Wasdie, good ol' Mac, and, as usual, Teuf. 8)
Nah, I know the ToS. I just felt like saying what I had to say, and since I knew you read it, I'm cool with getting modded. :D[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] What is the difference between your thinly veiled insults and his? the only difference is that you are on the GUFU union so you get more of a free pass here.
