I dont get it, theres no way in hell you can play with all of them, and its not like you go round saying " yeah, well i have 95 friends on live who i dont even know". I think you should only add players if you will continue to play with them in the future, cause if not whats the point!

Yeah I agree with you! If you meet some good teamplayers, and they're also nice to talk with, then be friends with them and play together sometimes. But I think it's stupid to just add anyone you see, and never even talk to them.

i wouldn't want 100 friends. it's like every couple of seconds someone else might be logging on or off and it'll get annoying when messages end up popping up everywhere. i'm fine with what i have right now

Yeah, same here. WTF!? I always just deny them right away. In fact, I'm so anal about who my friends are that I rarely even add some of the nicer gamers that are enjoyable to play with. Main reason is because I ask myself, "What are the chances you'll actually ever play with that person again?"

I've had random invites from people I've never played, but I'll look to see what games they have before I'll accept or decline.

I tend to leave people on my friends list until it reaches the point where pop-ups in game about people connecting to live get annoying, then I have a check through the list and remove those I play with the least. I'll probably never fill it to 100, but I'd rather have the capacity to always add new friends, than be forced to only having say 20 and constantly have to kick people off the list to add new ones.

I only have around 10 friends, all of them are friends I played with online and another one a friend of mine from school. I'm all ways sending out messages to them to ask if they want to play so and so game but they never respond. It really makes me angry. I just want friends on LIVE that will actually play with me when I invite them.

kinda like the myspace losers who have 675 friends. It's a sign that they either 1: use it too much 2: never delete people off friends list.

It's called networking...probably not a big deal in the US, but here in AU, if you can find players that are good to play with and don't lag the hell out of your rooms, it's a good idea to try to game with them consistently, particularly with games like COD 4 that has totally useless matchmaking capabilites, especially later at night.

It's like having 100 people on our friends list at GameSpot though. We all want the popular badge. I don't really talk to anyone here except in forums and it is indirectly at best. I respect peoples' opinions that are on my friends list and like to read their blogs, but isn't it really the same?

I had many friends on my list a while ago, but it gets annoying seeing people come online every 5 seconds and I rarely played with them so I just deleted them all except for three RL friends because I play with them all the time.

I see where your coming from but does it really affect you? I mean to be friends you have to have a mutual agreement so if you have problems with the person just drop em.

I have about 51 people on my friends list and would like to play with allof them. Met most of them back when I used to play Cod2 all the time. I would say maybe 10 of them are good friends. I can see how someone could have 100.

Well i have 100 friends in my list.....half of them at my school....half from my family and the rest at xbox live from all over the world:)......imo i think its better to have 100 friends always because people connect differently on their location and time,sometimesof the time i enter and i see only 15 online .....and i would go like lol i have 100 friends and only 15 or 10 are online,so when i have many friends most of the time i enter i see 30 or 40 online so i could play with any of them and tlak to and have fun with at all kinds of games:D
