I am not a troll, I own a 360 and I dont own a PS3. Click on my profile and look at my reviewed games if you dont believe me. Before I bought my 360 three years ago, I weighed both possible options between PS3 and 360. I went with 360 under the idea of they are going to have more of the games that I like exclusive. For the most part I have been correct about that for myself. However, the way microsoft seems to nickel and dime the consumer constantly is really getting under my skin. There are many issues I could talk about right now but I dont want to start getting into them. I dont wont to be here writing this message for that long. I will just summarize some of my problems with a few words, among them being RED RINGS, and overpriced downloadable content. Though these things truly annoyed me, they are not the complaint I have today.

We pay 50 bucks a year for live, and xbox lived is suppossed to be the best thing to ever happen to video games, kind of like what Jesus did for the world. On the other hand, the PS3 titles are supporting 32 players in titles that even came out for both 360 and pS3. So we are paying more for live, and we are getting less players. If we pay more, arent we suppossed to get better? Isnt that how the world works? I might understand a little bit more if we had 16 players as the max number of players but lag was NEVER a problem. Unfortunately this is not so, lag does occur from time to time, on all games. More often then me paying 50 bucks a year would like. When next generation comes, it is going to be hard for me to go with microsoft again. I think they really need to change their business philosophy with the 360, absolutly no respect for the consumer. They short change and gimmick you every chance they get.

I too am shocked about Microsofts shady business practices and how they screw/cheat the consumers who support them. I own both systems because I dont want to miss any big-name exclusives, but if I only owned a 360, I would be angrier than those onions from Burger King.

I think thah microsoft have good exclusives, like the lost and damned, and they have good exclusive games too, like all the games of halo, gears of war, fable...

the xbox live service, well i like it; but certainly we pay 50 bucks a year, and we have some cool stuff, but sony get also good stuff like ps home, and they get it for free.

and obviusly we should get more that 16 players playing, and a lot of less lag.

i mean, i like xbox live a lot, but sony gets a simmilar service for free, we should get much more;)

there is no need to bring religion into this thread, it's best to leave it out...and who cares if we have less players for certain games....does it really bother you that much?...and this really seems to belong in a blog...sounds like you should pick a different hobby if you don't understand the fact that companies love money, just like us humans....and will charge for something if they know they will make money

go to amazon and buy a 13 month card for 38.99 then. Also the xbox live experience is much better than ps3. xbox live is about 6 years old if i recall correctly and ps3 is new. xbox and microsoft have a superior service in my opinion, better games for online so paying 39 bucks for 13 months is nothing..thats 3 dollars a month...if you cant afford that then you seriously need to get a better job, or cut back on something else. One night of going out to the bar or going to a restaurant is 39 bucks easily. Xbox live lasts you much longer

Am I the only one who's getting tired of hearing the same f-ing complaints all over again and again? yes, it sucks that the download content cost as much as it does, and yes, the 360 does have alot of issues, and YES, ps3 has free online (but honestly, compared to live ps3' online SUCKS overall) we all know about these problems and those of us who paly 360 accept these flaws, and those who doesnt own a 360 are clearly those who, either cant afford it or just cant tollerate its flaws. btw, I'm very tired so I have no idea if what I just wrote makes any scence. :P

I'm not mad at all about the way Microsoft handles the 360, I enjoy my 360 more than I do my PS3 because I think the online community and services are so much better. I don't know how often I get on the PS3 and have trouble finding matches and co-op games or I get disconnected because of lag or how many times i've gotten on and the servers are down. If you don't want to pay for xbox live and its dlc then don't and stay on the PS3.

Wow you realy dont know what youre talking about do you. 1st of all you dont know a thing about how game servers work, you cant just pay money and they fix all lag, lag is commonly there because of poor connections to the servers from us! There will always be lag there is nothing they can do about it. There are many other reasonable explanations as to why we have lag and why its still here but im not going into details. 2ndly how dare you use Jesus's name like that, if Jesus does or did exist he did a great thing for this world not bring people together to play.

I totally agree with you, and I think Xbox LIVE should be either cheaper or free, but seriously, who would want 32 players on Blackout in Halo 3? Or 32 players on Bog in COD4? 32 players is way too many for ANY game. It makes them much less personally, laggy, and just not a lot of fun in my opinion. maybe thats just me...

yeah couldnt agree more with u we have to pay for internet while the ps3 owners dont, PS3 can play up to 64 players while the 360 can only play with 18 aprox. Soo idk why are we the ones that are paying. Besides as you said everything is overpriced at the marketplace. Hope they start careing about the consumers. GL

Fifty dollars a year translates to $4.95 cents a month. It's really not worth complaining about five dollars a month when minimum wage is around seven dollars an hour nowadays. And haven't you ever heard of qulity over quantity?
