Xbox live rewards are a a joke!

[QUOTE="percech"][QUOTE="Jonwh18"]

L See this is what happens with PSN+, kids grow up to be spoiled self-entitled rotten brats. XBL builds character and humility, and is thus far superior.

[spoiler] XBL is a joke :lol::lol::lol: [/spoiler]

PS+ is a great deal, it's not for everyone, but it is a great service.

Better than 19 Microsoft Points.

Honestly why did Microsoft even bother with this, if the rewards are so ****ing small lol. I think the other two rewards were just 1% and 2% off permanently on anything.

And of course you own the games you bought on Live, same goes for PS+. Anything you buy, even with the PS+ discounts, you keep, and yes even after your subscription runs out. Only the "free" games lock after the subscription ends.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="-Patrick_92-"]They don't have to charge you for XBL either...but they still do. -Patrick_92-

I'll say: Free > $60 for the same P2P servers

You'll say: Party Chat

I'll say: Still not worth $60 a year.

You'll say: haha PSN hacked!

I'll say: XBL has been hacked before too

And this will go just keep going in circles...like the rest of SW.

Notice the odd ammount, 20 points. Just enough for OCD gamers to have to buy more points so they can spend the odd 20 points away. I really wish MS would use real dollar ammounts, but they're d!cks so they won't.getyeryayasout

Man that sucks, I was just given 467 MS points through Xbox live rewards. Atleast I can do something with mine.

In the good spirit of gift giving & receiving; isn't it the thought that counts? :? :twisted:

Just puts into perspective how crap XBLG actually is.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Yeah XBLG, the Dashboard and these schemes are a joke, that goes without saying. What astounds me is how Microsoft have torpedoed the service in the last few years, from the interface to the marketplace. They've managed to turn away customers and developers despite having it all in the bag at one stage. Classic Microsoft I guess.jg4xchamp

Word has it that everyone involved in the Xbox 360's development, who was a major decision maker, up until 2007 is gone; those were people who put tons of love and care into making the best games console possible, and were given free reign to make it happen, and it damn well worked. And then things changed, management and direction and the transition to what the console is today happened. Mind you this is all from what I've heard on podcasts, like Giant Bomb's and all, but it all seems to fit with how things changed on our end.

Gah, it just sucks.

its also the best online service on consoles this gen.mems_1224

I got the same email, but my birthday is in March. Not sure if M$ have screwed up or if i entered the wrong month ...RR360DD

I hate free shiit too... 20 points isnt very much, but I never understood the mentality of biitching about getting something just for opening your eyes in the morning. People were doing this after the psn outage and I thought it was lame too... How about ms gives everyone $10 every birthday x 40+million gold members = bankruptcy in one year... dont be stupid system wars. Its not becoming of you.TheEroica

[QUOTE="Phazevariance"][QUOTE="-Patrick_92-"]MS takes away your online play when your subscription ends...but that's okay right? I don't get to keep watching movies off Netflix when my subscription ends, why should I expect anything different with PS+?

PS+ is a great deal, it's not for everyone, but it is a great service.

And of course you own the games you bought on Live, same goes for PS+. Anything you buy, even with the PS+ discounts, you keep, and yes even after your subscription runs out. Only the "free" games lock after the subscription ends.

[QUOTE="-Patrick_92-"]

[QUOTE="Phazevariance"] Uh, when your 'gold' subscription ends you can still use Netflix with the free silver account. You still own all the games you bought on live.. have you ever used an xbox before with just silver membership?percech

And of course you own the games you bought on Live, same goes for PS+. Anything you buy, even with the PS+ discounts, you keep, and yes even after your subscription runs out. Only the "free" games lock after the subscription ends.

Seriously? That's 25 cents! Required to pay to play online, ads plastered all over the dashboard, and the sales and rewards are pathatic. Xbox live is fueled by greed. The ps3 offers and optional pay service that actually gives free games and good sales..., Steam gives crazy sales for FREE

YoshiYogurt

psn is free and you get what you pay for. Go back to nintendo, kid.

[QUOTE="percech"][QUOTE="-Patrick_92-"]Netflix was just another example of a subscription service, comparing it to PS+, in the way that you don't get to keep the movies you get from Netflix or use their streaming service after your subscription ends with them, just like how you can't play the free games you get from PS+ when that subscription ends. I wasn't even saying anything about Silver membership and Netflix usage before, but since you brought it up, you're wrong lol. You have to have Gold to use Netflix, sad but true.

And of course you own the games you bought on Live, same goes for PS+. Anything you buy, even with the PS+ discounts, you keep, and yes even after your subscription runs out. Only the "free" games lock after the subscription ends.
