What's better than Xbox Live?

for 50$?

budget date?

Dinner - 15 x 2 =30 dollars

Movies - 10x2 = 20 dollars

Normal date. Maybe cost of living is cheaper where I live but I could easily have a date for 50 dollars.

yeah I know but it's a foxy lady:|

I always put effort (cash) in dates with foxy ladies:P

And... 3 new pairs of pants.

omgimba

Where the heck do you get new pants from for $16? :lol:

Maybe he mean panties?

Costco, and they're good levis.

You can get 5 pairs of Panties though...

Unless you're going for something hot, then probably one pair.

This is actually a pretty humorous point, as pointless as pron is...

Oh, and 10 DvDs. 5 if you want better ones.

About 400 condoms. (If you buy them in bulk at costco, they're about 12 cents a piece.)

Actually, $50 is the amount I spent on my router, and it works great

Also, a month of high speed internet.

So long as you get your money's worth out of whatever it is you're buying, it's pointless to make a thread like this. I mean what could you buy instead of an xbox? Or a PS3?

A guitar!

A new TV!

500 pairs of socks!

You can make anything seem pointless if you start thinking like that. For somebody who doesnt even own an xbox, why is it that you dedicate almost every thread you make to bashing it? :?

Ninja-Hippo

When you buy an Xbox or a PS3, you're actually getting something that you keep.

A more relevant argument would be making a similar thread about some MMORPG like WoW, which I have in the past btw...

And if you wait a few years, you could buy a Guitar, or a new TV for what you would have paid for XBL.

Oh and when it comes to bashing something, isn't that what System Wars is all about? You know, War?
Honestly XBL is my biggest gripe about the 360, and the number one reason I have no desire to have one, even if it was given to me.




Also, one college book. (Which can be priceless)

Duh! here in India I can date a sexy gal for lesser than 25 dollars and still make her more than happy.A movie ticket is like 4 dollars

$50 won't even get you a full tank of gas nowadays. It's not that serious. :|DisPimpin

It costs me $50 for 3 weeks. But I don't drive that much.

If i waited a year without using any water, i wouldnt have to pay a water bill and i could buy myself something nice. I've gone all that time without water though. Pointless.

Like i said, so long as you're using xbox live and getting a kick out of it and getting your money's worth, who are you to say it's a waste of money? :? How many threads do you want to make bashing something you dont own? Is it not odd that you make all these negative threads about the products you dont own, rather than positive ones about the products you DO own?

It's getting old.

EDIT: and no, that's a common misconception amongst many fanboys. System wars is not about fanboys bashing things they dont own. That's an aspect of system wars which certainly exists, but it's a negative aspect and one which the board definately isn't intended for. It's for discussion about which system is best in which areas, which games are better than their rivals, which companies are coming out with which products and how they fare. It's most definately NOT about blindly bashing things you dont own in thread after thread.

what better easy warhawk. no im just kidden i just love this game. most fun i had in years with any games i have owned. 100 hours plus for 40 bucks you can't go wrong there.GARRYTH

Warhawk is a really under rated game if you ask me. All my PS3 owning friends seem stuck into COD4, but i find warhawk much more enjoyable. With the add-ons, it seems to last forever.

You don't need money to live. There are counless people who live with no income.

I can't believe you went and used the ridiculous argument that "as long as we're talking about going without things, we should go without air" or in your case, water. Water is a necessity, XBL is not, especially when there are perfectly good substitutes out there.

And as I said, this is my main gripe about the Xbox. Comparing systems is as much about Cons as it is about Pros.

I often make negative comments about products I do own btw. And since the Xbox is in the family, I sort of claim a little ownership to it as well.

And a new pair of shoes.

What I don't get is, what are you non-360 owners getting out of this in return? Why go so far to mention that XBL is "useless" over and over again, when people think otherwise because they believe it justifies their purchase?

I think this is as annoying as lems asking for MGS4 to come to the 360 over and over again. Its ridiculous. You guys don't even own it and yet you go so far to mention this to the ones that DO own it and PAY for it.

If you're the ones that say "Well, it's the only thing keeping me away from buying it." then forget about it. Its not going away, so why talk about it constantly? You're not going to buy it, so let it be and enjoy what you have and let others enjoy what they believe warrants their purchase.

20 packs of Pokemon cards...all of them doubles.

hmm 50$? why did condoms pop up in my head !

sargentbotk

I've said this before, but not specifically in response to you...

I don't think XBL is worth it, and it's the main deturrant for me buying a 360.

I played an MMORPG for 2 years, and I consider it the biggest waste of cash I've ever spent. I swore that I would never blow away my money like that ever again on something so pointless.

When there is so much fun to be had for free, even on PSN and the PC, why the crap would I pay money for XBL?

I mean, the most critically acclaimed online experience - Call of Duty 4 - is also on the PS3. So why?

I guess the reason why I bring it up so much is that I can't understand why other people are willing to put up with it either. I consider it injustice - XBL should provide the online gaming service for free, like every other platform out there except them, and THEN tack on some fancy stuff if you happen to own the gold service.

The day this happens is the day I will own an Xbox 360. But you guys who apparently have no idea what the value of a dollar is will never give Microsoft a reason to do that.




And you could buy a couple of fans to cool you off on a hot day.

iLoveGrapedrank

I actually mentioned them earlier, that you could buy 400 or so if you get them from Costco.

You could also get your car washed once a month for a year. I know mine needs it.

What else is there to understand? People spend their money on it because they want to and feel its worth it. There's nothing else to understand there. If you think otherwise then so be it, but that doesn't mean you or any other person with the same opinion as you should keep spewing threads like this implying that "paying for live is pointless." Others think otherwise and its just that simple.

At this point while XBL gold isn't free, do you have any intentions on buying a 360? If not, then paying for XBL really doesn't concern you because you aren't given the option to pay for it or not. There's nothing more to it but just personal preference.

Threads like these are pointless and really annoying.

EDIT: Also, I don't think you made this thread to understand anything, but to make lems feel bad for paying for something they enjoy. Which is wrong and unethical for a fellow gamer as yourself who pays for things they enjoy.

I'm responding to several people who say that $50 is nothing.

It's not nothing, actually. It could be a set of decent dishes that will last you years!

I was under the impression that this was a video game forum not a how I spend my money to make my life easier forum.

What's next? Bytching about how I spent $55 for rumble and my videocard was $300?!?!

I earned it and I'll spend it anyway I see fit, my dogfood bill was $100 last month want to judge me on that too?

Why do you care how people spend their money or how people think of it? If they think its nothing to them then it IS nothing to them. Like I said, it is just THAT simple. You were obviously trying to make lems feel bad.

The ones who say it's nothing and believes $50 was worth it for XBL gold then so be it. The believe the other stuff don't interest them at that point so they spend it on XBL. Hell, why aren't you asking PS3 owners why they bought DS3 when they could've used that $55 to buy "decent" dishes? Because you see that its worth it right?

Well thats how 360 owners see it. Get over it. Worry about how you spend your own money and let others spend theirs how they see fit.

You just chose to be pedantic and compeltely dodged my point, which was a very obvious one. If you force yourself to do without something, you can recover the cost of it and spend it on something else. That doesnt make whatever you did without any more worthless or expensive, which is why this thread is completely and utterly pointless, serving as nothing more than yet another attempt on your behalf to bash something you dont have.

And you do not own an xbox. Stop with the "my friend has one so i know all about it..." stuff. You didnt even know there was such thing as a silver membership. :roll:

Speaking of dodging points, you're missing my point that you can play online games with your friends without XBL.

In fact, you can even play Halo 1 and 2, for free!

And you could also buy 5 new pillows! That's like a new pillow every two months!

Your thread failed once you created the thread. And your purpose went to shreads once Ninja-Hippo came in.sargentbotk

I'm absolutely right, whether you're willing to admit it or not.

Stop paying for something you shouldn't have to! That's the only way things change.

You could even buy a year's supply of bathroom cleaning chemicals, including the toilet brush!

Heh, I like to think I'm being unbiased most of the time...
