Microsoft bashes gamers. Makes us into a joke.

[QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"]It's just a stereotype. Anyone who takes offense to it is just being oversensitive. Besides, that one guy at E3's Sony press conference made a bunch of stereotypical remarks about gamers himself, no one said anything about that. In fact, the audience was laughing a good deal. And about the raise in XBL, I was upset about it at first, but if you break it down monthly, you're not even paying a dollar a month more for it.chaoscougar1

That's who Msoft was talking about.

well im only 17 and i dont like metallica...so how does this affect me...im probably switching consoles next gen though....microsoft is just too greedy and upon all that they still insult their customers

Sometimes the truth hurts

If you're the guy who sweats constantly with Cheeze Doodle dust on your fingers wearing a Metallica or Winger T Shirt then Kinect is not for you

It's not an insult, it's not a slight, it's the truth

If you choose to align yourself with that demographic so be it

some people here are just wayyyy to sensitive...

I, for one, am not 30 and don't own a single Metallica shirt. I also find myself not caring.

If I'm correct, they're only raising it by 12 dollars a year. That's a drop in the bucket.

This kinda angers me not everybody who plays xbox is fat and or out of shape example being me and many of my friends who go to the gym daily play high school football and other sports this is truly discouraging -_-

Here's what I've learnt throughout the years on gaming boards: Everybody except YOU fit the gaming sterotype (fat, virgin, loser, whatever).

That's capitalism for you. MS can raise it's prices because it can with impunity.

I'm not part of that group, I have a hot girlfriend who doesn't care how much I play games, I don't sweat when I play games, I like the daylight, I hate Metallica, and I have a life.

Yes, it's a shame they went that low to say that is the "main" gaming group. No, I am not offended. Deal with it. I'm not even buying Kinect anyways. I played the "demo" of it at Fan Expo up here in Toronto, and it was very underwhelming anyways..

"Gaming's not just for sweaty thirty year olds in Metallica t-shirts,"

LOL :lol: Just trying to bond with thecasual'sI suppose. Amusing nonetheless.
