I have a 13 month Live membership. My bro wants to play as well. Pay again???

If my brother wants to play on Xbox Live on my 360 (I have an Xbox Live account already) do I really have to pay for another Xbox Live membership? If I do, that's complete B.S. on Microsofts part. I can create up to 5 PSN accounts on my PS3 btw.

Yeah you do, and It bothers me as well. I have 2 kids (13 and 11) and I feel its a rip off that all three of us have to either share an account, pay $50 each every year or not play online.Dilrod

Why not just let your brother play on your Xbox Live account aswell? And, some games like Halo 3 will let you play on Xbox Live with "Guests" and other people.ISuperGamerI

No, but if you have to pay $50 then why would they let you make free accounts after the first account? Only thing you can really do is make free Xbox Live Silver account to get SP Achievements.

That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard...And he doesn't have to make excuses for MS because it is what it is, let him play or make him pay, it's really not that complicated...

if your bro wants to play online, have him pay. if he cant pay for himself, he isn't old enough to be playing online anyways

lmao just play on the same account. its not a big deal, and if you dont want him playing ranked games then just tell him to play social playlists.. thats what my friends do cause their bros arent very good and they just want to play the game and dont care about ranked so the brother just plays the social playlists.

it would be terrible if you could just make a new account for xbox live for free.. so many people would keep doign that just to destory all the low level people in the ranked games, and that would ruin the ranking system

It's 50 dollars each... Microsoft doesn't distinguish a family, each of you is using the service and therefor pays for it. PSN is free for the time being, but starting next year, Sony will start charging for it. I recon about 50 or 60 bucks a year.

i agree with most of the people here, you've got three options,

1. Pay for an account for him

2. Make him pay for an account

3. Let him play Player Matches =)

Tell him to play non-ranked games.

Well, PSN's service cannot be compared to xbox live's service... If you don't like it, why don't you just tell your brothers to play on your ps3 while you play on xbl? And really, if you can't accept the fact that you have to pay for each gold account, then stop giving yourself a hard time about it and move on with your life.

If I want my brother to play on my PS3, I'd have to buy 2 copies of each game. No thanks.

lol i dont even think this guy has xbox live, he just wants to rip on the xbox 360infinitemurder

lol nah i really dont care if you have it or not, its just funny that ur talking crap about xbox live, when you urself pay for it, if you pay for it, it must be because you like it and its worth the 50 dollars why else would you get it, as for the PSN its free we all know, no one caresinfinitemurder
