yeah but think about it this way... the whole time you're paying for xbox live, after purchasing the system, you're going to end up paying just as much as the person who went with the ps3 and get their connection for free... and it's service sucks because you have to pay for it, there's absolutely no reason why playstation can offer free connection, while xbox can't, they just want to milk you for every penny and they are... that's just why i hate xbox live, i have even more reasons why i hate xbox period...
Its service sucks cause you have to pay for it.....LOL. The service is only good because you have to pay for it, what you said is contridicting in a wierd reversed way...who knows, maybe PlayStation offers a free online service because the the system is $600! You could think of it this way, you could buy the premium ($400) xbox 360 system + 4 years of xboxlive gold member subcription($200) for the price of one PlayStation 3. Xbox live offers downloaded demos, HD game trailers, HD movie trailers, xbox live arcade to download and even play them through xbox live, plus more. All the PlayStation 3 offers only a friend list per-game that switches for each game, lame. Xbox live will be offering tv shows and HD movies to download to your harddrive pretty soon here as well...
Now I didn't want to get into this debate, but with you not stating any good points, for example "..it sucks because you have to pay for it" I had to do it.
thats bullocks totaly and u know that so stick it oh and yeah xbl cheaters get cought but all they ahve to do is get another mbership card and start over dude
You're both retarded. First off, what the fuck is a "wifi port"? That is rhetorical, wifi is wireless, you don't understand electronics, etc, etc.
Second off, XBOX live is a huge fuckin operation. They spend hundreds of thousands per month on it, and I would not be surprised if they loose money on it every month.
Normally I would agree that them charging you for it is bullshit, but look at how PS2 online turned it... truly horrible.
The problem with free accounts is that you are basically not accountable for your actions. When your first account gets shitty ratings, just make another, it's free! I mean, they could tie your reputation/etc to the console, but then what if you want to sell it? The new buyer has to deal with your rep and your stats? That sucks.
Another problem is that people will play a matchmaking game, get good at it, then create a new account and just pwn noobs. This happened in Halo 2, where people would get bored playing other level 40s and just make a new account, ripping level 5s etc apart. It really sucked to be in a game and just get destroyed by one person. If that was a problem when accounts were $50 (well less if it's a 2 month or 3 month, but you get the point), it is going to be awful with free accounts.
M$ is not "nickel and diming" you, and trust me, I hate them more than you. Just because Sony is willing to take a hit for you doesn't mean M$ is ripping you off.
please don't call me a retard just because I've been rusty on my electronic terms. I can see through your post, the way you talk, I see you as what you saw as me.
Also I would like to point out that I don't own any of the three systems and havnt read up too much of them and I still know more than half the people here...comon...
I really hope that was a joke. I mean, I'm all up for gore and violence, I love Silent Hill and similar games, but goddamn, those nintendo games are fun and you're probably just being to macho to admit it.
I'm serious.
Most of my favorite games are First Person Shooters or Real Time Strategy. I don't like those lame FPS games though, the ones where you have ridiculous weapons and shit. I like Call of Duty, Black Hawk Down, and those kinds of shooters.
Tenchu also provided me with hours and hours of entertainment. Sneaking up on people and cutting their throats rocks!
I bought Rome: Total War. But my video card isn't good enough to play the game.
Maybe I'll buy myself a new video card for christmas.
oh shit seriously? lol seems like just yesterday (but i guess it would have been months and months) i first started hearing about the Wii.... hmm.. i guess things seem to come out alot faster if you don't actually want them, or atleast want them that bad... as for what you said about making accounts and pwning noobs, it doesn't matter if you make them pay for it, or if it's free, people are still going to do that, having to set up a new account even when it's a paid-service, isn't impossible you know... yeah people make new accounts just to pwn noobs, but you know why that doesn't bother me? because they feel they suck so bad that they have to make a new account, to come back and decimate the people who have no clue wth they're even doing, and still trying to figure everything out, imo that just makes you pathetic, the only game i really make new accounts for is killzone, and that's not so i can go pwn noobs, i just get tired of my name, and the only way to rank on that game is by killing people with status... i'm starting to see more and more games like this too, basicly you can be an ass and pwn the noobs if you want, but it's nto going to do you any real good...
Wii, is nintendo's new console coming out very soon... the only thing really new it offers is a controller that is controlled by your movements... i can't wait to hear about all the people flinging their controllers around and breaking them tho lmfao... MLB anyone?
man, I'm sorry, but all your arguments are just about one thing that is just a biased opinion...
