So I got my 360 last week and I've been trying to add all my friends and well... one of my friends list was full and I called him to see what's up and he says you can only have 100 friends... I was wondering "Why are we paying $50 and we can only have 100 friends?"

btw if this is coming off as an anti-360 post it's not, I'm just kind of aggravated

I suppose they don't think it's socially (and possibly humanly)possible to actually be in consistent contact with more than one hundred people.

I think fifty friends is enough, yet maybe I'm just a loser with fifty friends. :)

I think 100 is a reasonable amount. You don't expect everyone to come online all at once.

Lol my friends list has 101. I didn't even notice until someone told me they couldn't add me. Then i checked and it said 101. weird but w/e

as for having more friends, i only actually play with about 10-20 people on my friends list anyway. some others only once in a while. 100 is enough. or should i say 101.

Why do you NEED 100 friends man?

I mean, I'm not trying to come off as some geek sitting in a dark corner with no friends, but I have around 60 on my list, and 30+ of them are people I barely remember...And if I do remember them, it's only by screenname, not familiarity.

ask your friend when was the last time he was in contact with at least 30-40 of the 100 people on his list...100 is plenty, even if you have 100 i doubt you are playing with even half of them in a month

out of 100, how many of themare real friends--not online friends, but ones you see each day or other day? 100 on XBL is plenty--besides, you can't play with all of them at the same time so what's the need for more? Just delete the ones you don't play with on a daily basis.

100 friends should be enough. You only add people you play regulary with. I think I have about 25 on my list, and that's a good number.

I am sure he doesn't even talk to half of the people on his FL.

Btw, it's not Vista that's garbage, its your computer. 512 and less MB of Ram FTL.

100 "friends" on xbl is like 500 "friends" on myspace -- i dont care who you are, 2/3 of that list are complete strangers.

100 friends is good enough to game with. They're not all goin to be on at the same time and you can only get so many of them in a match so anymore then that you'll be switching in and out of 5 different matches to keep up with all of them, It's too hectic.

I only have like 20 friends and I could probably delete half of them. Major Nelson said it's not as simple as flipping a switch and making it so you can have more friends.

Actually I agree that we should be able to have more than a 100 friends maybe 200 max. And to all those people that say you don't need that many, they aren't all going to be on at the same time.... Exactly! think about it, if you have 100 friends and only about 20 are online at a time, that means having 200 friends you'd have 40 or so on at the same time to play with. And it's not like all of them play the same games so it gives you options to play with different people regulary in a variety of games. just my thought though

Wouldn't there be "... signed in" message poping up constantly, or is there a way to turn that off.

Because I think Microsoft counts on the fact that Victoria's Secret Models that would occupy the other 95 slots outside of your 5 RL friends will ever be on their own seperate xboxes.

its possible to have 101 friends since the count for sum reason includes the add friend button as one of your friends ... seriously highlight the button and it says 1 0f --- lol

I have around 28-30 and i just got my 360 not too long ago.. like maybe a week or something.

More friends = more opportunities to play with someone you talk to on the game you want... With 30 friends I can NEVER get a custom game of Halo 3... And most of my friends are from Halo 3.

Who gives a **** if you think he doesn't need 100 friends! It's still a inconvenice for some people that pay $50 a year.
