[QUOTE="soiguessialive"]Because they tried to make her go to rehab and she said no no no. I don't her music is awful and she looks like a dead hookereffthat

ZING!

Seriously, I wouldn't call her good and I doubt that the majority of the population would either. No more than people saying Wham is good or the Buggles are good.

The obvious answer is that she didn't go to rehab. Just look what happened to aerosmith!

her music makes me shudder, this emo chick in my school loves her

I'd roll with it, maybe life will be worth living :DX360PS3AMD05

What if you were a hot chick

Never heard any of her music.sonicare

you have been warned search on playlist.com

It's simple business 101: Microsoft charges for Xbox Live because it's a large operation involving hundreds of developers, operations and support staff, and IT resources (datacenters and bandwidth.) and such an operation cannot exist without a clear, defined revenue stream to support it.

With XBL, the revenue streams are advertising, Marketplace royalties and subscriptions. Of those, subscriptions are the most valuable because they are predictable, recurring revenues against which major new projects can be budgeted with decent accuracy. Without the subscription revenue, they'd have to depend on Marketplace royalties and Advertising, which are relatively unpredictable and require large additional marketing dollars to generate, so they'd be less likely to budget large, long-term service improvement projects against them.

In other words, if XBL were free and ad-supported, we wouldn't have things like Inside Xbox, or community events, or things like unified leaderboards or TrueSkill, because those things would be too costly to justify under an unpredictable, ad-supported revenue model. And that is also why PSN doesn't have things like that, and why Home will be a failure.

leaderboards and trueskills? My COD4 on PSN has it too.

I play online for free

I have an avatar free

I have an onlineID free

I play demo frees

I watch movie trailers free

I download themes free

I download wallpapers free

I download some songs for GH3 w/o having to pay for PSN in the first place

I can have voice chat free

I can send messages for free

Heck, I'm even having HOME for free.

And from what Live have. If it is really a "it's a large operation involving hundreds of developers, operations and support staff, and IT resources (datacenters and bandwidth.)"...

Then its really pathatic. Its down during holiday seasons, people lag, there're no way to stop kids from yelling in mics, there's not really much support (is there any in the first place?) ... and it takes HUNDREDS of people to maintain it !?

Holy CRAP!

That may be but I pay to play on a more consistent service

I imagine that if MS were creating Home it wouldn't be delayed for what the 6 month in a tow

so a sign of desperation is talking smack? well then i guess ps3 and sony we're desperate from day one.WilliamRLBaker

It seems that way from the post.
