Curious, what 360 exclusives are worth paying $1 a week for?

kuraimen
Whoa, since when were 360 owners forced to pay $1 to play their games?

To play their complete games they do. They pay for the whole game but they have to pay extra to play a portion of that game.

Hey, psst. PSSSST. PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. You're a decade late. ;)

How about MS give you a game for every year they charged you for Live, instead?

It's like paying to use my owncar I bought , I still have to pay for gas , insurance etc. , I would rather buy the car that is a touch less better but I don't have to pay $1 a day to use the property I already paid for.

These arguments are valid because PC has always had better online than the consoles and now the PS3 is pretty much on par with Live. If I want to facebook, twitter , watch espn, etc . I'll do it on my tv/pc . It's not worth paying for it anymore. They even cancelled 1vs 100 , so it's not like Live has a lot of exclusives to make it worth it

Can't believe so many Lems are STILL in complete denial, reaching... stretching... trying so hard to justify XBL's pay to play online fee. The 360 came out in what... like 2005? Everybody knows by now that Live is just a way for Microsoft to get into your wallet without giving you much option. It's no secret, Lems.

You don't have to try to justify a company ripping you off. Unless you actually LIKE giving people the false impression that you think it's completely okay for a company to hold the online portion of games you payed full price for hostage. :roll: I know you lems are smarter than that.

Know what's really, REALLY funny? No one in this entire thread, and hardly any from the other threads of this beaten up hussy of a topic, has said it was "okay" or "right" for MS to charge for online. The vast majority of people who use Live just...don't care. See, there's a difference between "approving of" and "not giving two ****s about". So...you're conjuring up ghosts there, champ. :)

Who is paying $1.00 a week for Xbox Live? I got 3 years worth of Live for $39.99 with some smart shopping and keeping an eye on sales. It isn't hard to do really, I'm paying $0.25 a week which I feel is very reasonable for the service as compared to PSN and Wii. I am willing to bet the topic creator sees nothing wrong with paying $25 a week for his iPhone service fees.

You must be delusional to say that or you haven't used all of the services. XBL kills PSN. There is no competition and saying otherwise is just plain wrong. There is no opinion here, XBL is better than PSN fact.

give it a rest cows im able to pay for my years xbox membership before my lunch break at work..one day out of the year.. and i dont make that much. do you lazy bums not work? i thought you cows were so much older and more mature, why are you whinining about a such a paltry sum so much..besides i'll pay more for a superior service, you can play your inferior online to go with your inferior multiplats

meatgrinderz
Except it isn't a vastly superior service. The online play is exactly the same between the two consoles. It only offers a few additional services that are not present on the PS3 and those services are not worth $60 a year. I don't typically play a lot of my games online, but when I do decide to jump online its nice to know I can play that part of the game without having to pay out money to get on the games online servers.

and buy your comment how old are you. PSN is equal to Live now. the re is no justification to pay 60 dollars a year.

Nov.22 2005 -Dec. 31, 2010

5yrs x 50.00=250.00 + cost of console= way more then the asking price of the launch ps3. And M$ is still squeezing money out of you.

1. Paying for content I already bought.
2. $60 a year can buy another brand new game... or several used games.

Objection. Champ would be overrating right there. As we can clearly state that I am amazing. Sport would be a proper term for you to use. It gets your passive aggressive witty remark off. Without tainting the legacy of his Majesty :]

But you do have to pay to use that property. you have to fuel it and keep it up and running. You threw that out like it's nothing.

The problem is not the actual cost of the service, but the problem is why do I have to pay for multiplayer which is free for all other systems? I would understand if it offered other value-added services on the same level as Playstation Plus.

PC does get a lot of complaints thoguh with some gamers always saying they hate having to mod or DL mods just to play in the server for that game. PC has a lot of downsights also.

MortgageMan007

Wut.

Yeah I have seen many complaints about hating to have to always patch and mod to play some games in servers running mods all the time.

yeah i have seen this too especially in CS: S where their are a **** ton of mods

While 360 users keep on paying for a service, Pc users said no to the Live fee and they ended up winning and now dont need to pay to play online. If all 360 users stopped paying for Live MS would ethier lower prices or make it free.

Free > $1 a week. To a person that lives from check to check 50 bucks is noticable. I love how people assume that since you play games you must crap money. News flash not everyone can afford it. Speaking for myself I'm always bargain hunting for games. This holiday season was good to me especially on Steam that same 50 bucks that would have gone to live got me GTA collection, Witcher and a few other games. By all means continue to pay for the online service if you enjoy it but for me free online is the way to go.

Lol, essentials to life = gaming console online service. L2comparison, brah.

That's a perfect illustration of how entitled some gamers feel.

Sorry to break it to you folks, but gaming is an expensive hobby. If $60/year is a financial burden, then maybe gaming isn't the right hobby for you.

I pay for Live because I like its features. I could easily just switch over to PSN, but I don't. There's more to value than a simple price tag. I enjoy using the party system, cross game chat, cross game invites and game launching at the OS level. I like the attention given by the community managers and policy enforcement staff. But hey, those are my reasons that I won't impose on anyone else.

For some reason, the anti-XBL contingent can't seem to live and let live. So go ahead and grind your axes and shake your fists to the heavens all you want. It won't change my reasons.

Can't believe so many Lems are STILL in complete denial, reaching... stretching... trying so hard to justify XBL's pay to play online fee. The 360 came out in what... like 2005? Everybody knows by now that Live is just a way for Microsoft to get into your wallet without giving you much option. It's no secret, Lems.

You don't have to try to justify a company ripping you off. Unless you actually LIKE giving people the false impression that you think it's completely okay for a company to hold the online portion of games you payed full price for hostage. :roll: I know you lems are smarter than that.

You must be delusional to say that or you haven't used all of the services. XBL kills PSN. There is no competition and saying otherwise is just plain wrong. There is no opinion here, XBL is better than PSN fact.

Never disputed which services were better. I have extensive experience with XBL and it's a superior service to PSN altogether, but when it comes down to playing games online... it's the exact same thing. You'd think that $60/year would go to something actually good, like dedicated servers. But no. It's the same inconsistent P2P connections that are found on PSN for free. This is all irrelevant though. The bottom line is that I wouldn't have a problem with XBL whatsoever if it wasn't forced upon you. When you're already paying $60 for your games, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to play them online right out of the box.(Especially when they're crappy P2P servers)
