Give me three reasons cross game chat is worth 50 a year

or 20 bucks for 3 months or 8 dollars for 1 month Remember you cant say something like better dlc games because store access is free. You cant say that 360s come bundled with headsets because a hardware bundle has nothing to do with a gold accounts cost.Origami_Kill3r

I can't give you half a reason. :(

you could use it for voice chat on nintendo ds. You can talk to your friends any time you want. You can watch netflix movies and zune movies together using party chat. Thats worth it for me.

I though Cross Game Chat was free to anyone.

I'm guessing talking to friends in a party while playing the same game or different games is worth it to some people. I suppose if one has no friends it would sort of make the feature pointless.

would it make you feel better if people admit it's not worth it?

what are you honestly trying to achieve with another one of these topics? people will continue paying always.

when playing games like nhl 10, cross game chat allows me to chat with my friend without having static and lag around his voice.

sometimes i just wanna play a single player game, do my own thing, i can chat with a bud while i play my single player campaign.

but the main reason is, i can chat with a friend WHENEVER i want, i can be doing anything, and i can still chat, i dont have to be playing what he's playing.

what if i dont wanna hear other people? what if i just want me and my friends to chat, not some random kid on cod or whatever, just my friends, random kids are annoying.

1. Xbox live is 30-35$ on amazon.com which equates to 2.5- 2.9 dollars a month

2. It is something ps3 lacks.

3. A diverse chat party with one person playing ME2 and being able to talk with friends even if they dont have the same game as you.

right cause 50$ is a boatload of money....

1. because i can afford it 2. because i don't care 3. because it obviously makes people angry.smerlus

This.

It's only 50 bucks. It's virtually nothing. Perhaps if you pick up more subscribers on your paper route it won't seem like so much.

Think of all the crap you could buy if you just stopped eating as well. Or how about walking to work everyday. No more car payments and gas costs. Different strokes for different folks. I'm a PC gamer but I do pay for XBL simply because I have buddies on there as well as on PC (and PS3 as well...I have alot of friends I suppose). To some it's worth it, to others not. I don't know why people need to constantly hit this XBL topic. Get over it already. This horse has been dead for a long time...stop beating it.

i gave you four reason to justify cross game chat on the first page, ignored them i see...

and why waste money on a game i already beat? or a game that lasts 5 hours max, and i never touch it again..

a story driven single player rpg with tons of dialogue?

Also don't give me that

"When psn gold comes out it has moar fechars!"

The lowest payment option for psn gold is 5$ less than a year of xbox live.

And it has virtually the same features as live does.

So once again.

You can pay 30-35$ a year for extra features on xbox live which beats psn.

Or you can pay for psn gold at the highest price (59.99$) and get more features which are subjective.

Or you can pay 30$ for the lowest psn gold membership and get the same features as xbox live gold.

Sure online gaming is free but cross game chat enhances my experience IMO

Or you can play online for free and miss out on some features.

And yes that is 200%

30$ a year.

30= 100% 30+30= 60 which is 100% if paying month-by-month would = 60$ at the end of the year then you would save 100% paying all up front

Since month to month= 96$ a year then 30+30+30= 90= 200% and +6= over 200%

Well, I suppose some of us have money to do what we want and some don't. You fall in that last part...

Honestly, if you weren't jealous of XBL (due to cross game chat) in some way you wouldn't be making these threads.

I also get free online on my PC and it's far far superior to that on ps3. So, well, there you go. ;)

you provide comic relief.

Just cause someone has the money doesn't mean they should blindly waste it. I could go out right now and by a fancy 150 dollar monster hdmi cable. Or I could by a 5 dollar one online that does the same thing.Origami_Kill3r

It's not. But you act like that's the only thing that Live has, which PSN doesn't.. like the ability to play to your music in game during gameplay only, etc. I'm not saying that Live is worth it, but you definitely just took one feature and acted like that's the only thing people get.

I just think its funny that so many people say that blu-ray isnt needed for gaming, it doesnt bring anything special to gaming, wi-fi isnt necessary, and SONY is such a terrible company because they didnt give you the choice to either have or not have those features. But when xbox live gets brought into the discussion, cross game chat is such an important feature that it totally justifies the cost of live when built in wifi, blu-ray, ability to upgrade to any sata hard drive in the ps3 doesnt justify the cost of it. And microsoft gives you no alternative if you want to game online.

Especially since they complained about the cost of the launch models, but if those people bought xboxes instead the cost of live alone would amount to a little more than half of the highest priced sku the ps3 had to offer...

Once again, different strokes for different folks. You say I'm wasting it but I have friends that I play NHL 10 with online. We get in a party and play club games. I don't like talking to the other team so...well, we talk amongst ourselves in this party while we're playing. So for me, it's not wasting it.

When you can accept that others have different opinions of things than you do you'll get over this whole XBL thing. Until then, well, I expect to see far more threads from you. And, once again, my free online PC service (aka Steam/D2D, etc. stuff like that has to do with games) still destroys your ps3 one. I get cross game chat for free through Ventrilo. That and I own a ps3 with that same free internet service as you as well as XBL to talk to my buddies. What do I win? ;) Really though, once again, different strokes for different folks. Who are you to criticize their choices? :shock:

if you cared to read my 4 reasons as to why its justified, please do so, until then save your ignorance for someone else.

i own both the ps3 and 360, actually my 360 is dead so i only own a ps3 at the moment, and xbl is hands down better, do you know how annoying it is playing nhl 10 with someone and not being able to hear them? very frustrating, its only a rip off to those who cant afford it, its simple really.

stop flipping burgers and find a real job.

one thing youll notice on nhl 10, if you arent in a party chat, eashl is obsolete, you cant even hear your teammates half the time.
