Actually, I LIKE paying for LIVE

No joke, i do enjoy paying for LIVE for various reasons

1) Paying for it encourages you to make the most of it and use your 360 online to the full extent

2) It ensures that other gamers who pay for membership could more serious gamers (though thats not always the case though, sadly)

3) MC may be a big piggybank, but from membership it ensures its financially stable, ensuring better service, faster connection, and also the 3 year guarantee is a major bonus, which was mainly possible due to people paying for LIVE (MC lost billions in repairing 360s, loses money on each console it sells, and money for games goes often to 3rd party develoers)

4) The gamerscore system is so sweet and addictive, its kind of like paying MC back for having such a great system

I doubt many of you will agree with me, but its annoying seeing people whine about how LIVE should be free without thinking about how this would affect the overall service (content, speed etc).

Oh and by the way before you ask, I dont work for Microsoft. Im a poor college student :P

i agree look at the playstion network it's free and not as good.when you pay you get better quality

[QUOTE="GlassDominion"] most of the launch titles did the individual list didnt it? i would like the ability to check mail and see what games my friends are in while im in a game.teebeenz

but can i ask whats so horrable about PSN? people make it sound as bad as friendcodes.

GlassDominion youre just being a broken record now. Most (not all) people here don't mind paying a few bucks a month for the priviledge of playing LIVE and all its cool features. Its pretty clear you have something against MS (from your blog and posts) and your argument is not convincing anyone.magic_dragon

and you have provided nothing in your defence. the most you have as a defence is "its not that expensive"

rather than attacking me on a personal level why dont you try arguing your point? this is a discussion on xbl fees not on if you like me or not.

(cont)

So each dollar I save counts. But Live is good though, just not free.

i agree

paying for it is worth havign good quality

sometimes you gotta pay extra to get good things

the only complaint i have is all the dbags that play on live

but this is not microsofts problem

its the world's

Im not attacking anyone Blk-Gnome, i was merely pointing out Glassdominon's unconvincing argument. I mean its impossible for you to be GlassDominion on another account, since that is not allowed on gamespot...hmm?

MrSorrow

He's got the right idea too.

well then, that would explain why i was so missinformed. thank you for clearing that up.but can i ask whats so horrable about PSN? people make it sound as bad as friendcodes.GlassDominion

I would like it more if they could give 18+ gamers there own zones the little bastard who talk **** through out the game and can't back it up in real life and don't get the meaning shut up really piss me offRamotut

that wouldnt work because people would lie about their age and alot of teh bastards are older then 18 actually i have more problems with older people then younger people on live

and if i remember correctly on the first page rather than discussing my points about your points, you chose to attack me instead. now are you going to debate this or are you just going to sit there and point "your repeating yourself"

and read the tos before you start quoting fake rules

1. i dissagree. i dont feel compelled to go online jsut to make paying for it worth it.

2. no, it does no such thing. see halo2 and gears of war 12 year olds as a refrence.

3. Faster connection is BS, its about your connection on your end, and the connections of the other people.

even if i didnt pay for live i would still get coverage. i dont find it right im paying for some one elses dead console.

4. thats nothing big and worth paying for. PS HOME will have those for free.

Hate to say this, but why troll, I also like the PS3 more, but I dont troll and Live is better although PSN is also very good and allows different kinds of options, like mods, for example.

i never said psn was better or worse than live. i only countered his points. infact i have yet to use psn at all.

PSN is coming around and with patch v2 it should be on par with live.anime-2k3

Everyone keeps saying how you get what you pay for but that isn't true. Just look at GFW Live you have to play that and Steam Community is 100x better than that is free.anime-2k3
