GRAPHICS: PC > PS3 > 360 > Wii

I didn't know there was a debate about it. It's just a fact in the numbers. PS3 has a faster processor and better video RAM than the Xbox. That's not an opinion.

Nintendo is the only one making games anymore. Every other company on every other console is putting out cash-ins. Guitar Hero 20, Call of Duty 15, Gears of War 7, Halo 12, etc. Wii has most of the best exclusives this generation.

i just hope that we are getting something for the extr 10 dollars and that it's just not a money hungry thing by MS

Some people think they're raising it because of ESPN

Anyone with Cable and Sattelite are already paying out the nose for ESPN. Disney owns them and ABC, and if you watch the news a bit, you will see they are alway fighting with the providers trying to raise the price for their services. I know they are in a dispute with Dish network right now, and also Time Warner cable. How much more do we need to pay for ESPN?

According to Microsoft, $10 a year. I mean, they already got rid of 1 vs 100, Xbox 1 servers have shut down, and who knows when Xbox will get Hulu.

Like you said, what the hell are you paying for?

[QUOTE="MethodManFTW"]I can't see them increasing the cost of Microsoft points... they would never sell a non-exclusive XBL title again to dual console owners. MethodManFTW

you'd think so, but dual console owners still pay for Live, and from almost everywhere on the internet I've looked, NO ONE is upset with microsoft over this price hike. They just bend over and let MS walk all over them.

If they know they can get away with increasing the price of MS points, they sure as hell will raise the price.

This is true. But the important thing here is that Xbox-only owners wouldn't jump ship and go to PS3 even after this price increase, then they certainly won't for $5 more on an Xbox game.

And that's how Microsoft works. Instead of slapping you in the face with a huge price that pays for itself over time (PS3) they nickle and dime you so people say "Oh, only $100 for a network adapter? That's not so bad." or "Oh only $80 to get my Xbox fixed? That's not so bad" or "Oh, only $10 more a year for live? That's not so bad". At the end you realize you spent way more for nothing.

And I do not own an Xbox 360, myself. I just have a silver account for when I play split-screen at a friend's house (for achievements and what-not)

doesn't bother me at this point. 50 to 60 is not a big deal. However, I think it should 0 in the first place... We are paying for content already on the disk, and it's not like XBL actually hosts any servers for any games.MethodManFTW

This is what I'm afraid of. Xbox fans have been paying for something that should have been free for so long, that they won't care if MS raises the price by 20%. Microsoft will get away with this price-increase scot-free.

I think i will have to buy me a couple of live cards before the price hike. i was just wondering what do yall think about it cuz i thinks its ridiculous but i guess we have no choice but to buy it if we want to play onlinevrizzle

Oh yea. Buy a ton of Xbox live cards now. That'll show 'em!

Seriously, why the heck did you trade good games?

Wikipedia says August. So next month :)
