Will it ever end? So, you want me to pay to play your game online, and you want me to pay for updates... How nice.

If you want them, yes. Consider it a small expansion. Plus it will be free later. So either don't buy it, or wait until its free. No one's making you buy it.

Yes, and we will see how consistent PSN or "Home" will be. We'll be seeing if you guys will even get demos for certain games ever or how late you will get them. We will see how not paying for such a service will actually make it better for you.

months later like how Europe had to wait for the PS3 months later or how PS3 fans have to wait for ports of games like R6V that gets delayed....

And then there's that 360 and the download que thing KeyWii helped us know find out about

XBL Fanboys just don't get it. Epic and other developers want to give away their content for free, they made it, they spent time on it and they want it to be free. But Microsoft, being the greedy money grubbers they are, forces epic to charge for the Maps so THEY can profit. And YOU fanboys thank them. You defend them. Ignorance.

In a year of XBL on the 360 I have never paid for a bit of content. Nobody's making you buy this stuff. And I any expansion worth having, whether it be XBL or PC, always costs something. The same thing's going to happen on the PS3, so I hope nobody's waiting for their free download of Shivering Isles.

Ignorance? You're in no position to call anyone on SW (or on this planet) ignorant. I'm going to bold this so you don't miss it: you don't have to pay for the maps, you can wait if you want. If people want to pay and get them early, that's fine with me, but I choose not to.

I think we can all agree that the only person offended by this is the one who doesn't own an xbox 360.

And yet PS fans are happy about the 20GB model being phased out because it will save Sony more money cause they loose more on the 20GB model even thought it's $100 cheaper and people like me don't want to be forced to pay more for it. But I guess that's kewl with you.

And honestly KeyWii no ones believes or puts much care into anything you dude so dont know why you start threads. You proved yourself to be a liar as you make up things and sell them off as true so many times and won't even own up to your lies so stop making threads and trying to put down the 360 cause who can believe or put any thought into anything you say....

This is a fairly good compromise, and remember, Epic had to work with Microsoft to make this happen. Otherwise, the maps never would have been released for free. It's a good thing that MS bent on this one, but I'm sure they didn't want to twist Epic's arm too hard.

I love how so many people are slamming KeyWii's credibility.  Maybe the title should be changed to:

 KeyWii's credibility is garbage; one ignorant fanboy rant after the other.

 This may be the time to go to a different name KeyWii, I think you have thoroughly destroyed this one!

Personally, like so many others, I don't mind waiting for it to be free.  There are so many other great games on this console that I am not desperate for more content on Gears of War.

Once again, what do XBL owners pay $50/year for?

The ability to pay more for content. Awesome. :|

So far, I've paid $200 for my XBL account, but Microsoft insists on trying to screw me out of more.

Once again, what do XBL owners pay $50/year for?

The ability to pay more for content. Awesome. :|

So far, I've paid $200 for my XBL account, but Microsoft insists on trying to screw me out of more.

I'm glad there is an actual consumer with a bank account on this forum and not just another blind fanboy. Thanks for speaking up for what is right.

truht is: XBL is great. any true gamer would agree.... should have kept your 360.danneswegman

The truth is, XBL is the only way to play online with your Xbox 360, so Microsoft takes the opportunity to bend its customers over and charge them $50 a year for it.

It appears that's not enough for Microsoft, however, so they came up with the idea of charging for Horse Armor and map packs that the software developers wanted to be free.

And of course, there are some Xbox fanboys that love that kind of treatment. :roll:

XBL Fanboys just don't get it. Epic and other developers want to give away their content for free, they made it, they spent time on it and they want it to be free. But Microsoft, being the greedy money grubbers they are, forces epic to charge for the Maps so THEY can profit. And YOU fanboys thank them. You defend them. Ignorance.KeyWii
Why do you even care?! Seriously.

No it isn't the only way, but the other way is not as active.
