[super-saiya-jin]

i need to get a bawxz

don't ask how, but in the UK it's £5.99 a month

 

[Bluevoodu]

I think it still bullshit...

I have never paid to play shit online before... Don't see why I should start now.

I agree.

I won't pay for Xbox live... its $70 per year, isn't it?

care to expand on that? Your not paying to play on any microsoft servers just paying to play on someone else's xbox acting as server is my point.

I never really knew how it worked... if they owned their servers ro what... but they actually make the individual users be the servers?

nope its 50.00 for the year
I guess its more per month than a whole year

[Chicago Cheeseburgler Crew]

Yea $50.

Your loss if you're that much of a jew. Not much else to say than that.

hopefully the prices might be diffferent in france

 

[genjiglove]

I decided to pay monthly in case I ever want to drop Live, but still it's not that expensive.

 

[Bluevoodu]

Yea $50.

Other than the better versions of the games with free online play on the PC...

Except for a couple of the "console" based games of course.

It lets me play SF3:TS Online.

It lets me play SSF2X or any other variation of SF2 Online.

It lets me play CvS2 online.

It lets me play GGX2#r online.

It will let me play KOF2k2 and 2k3 online.

How is this not worth $50 a year?

PS. Halo 2 is also the fo'shizzle.

I'd like links to all this supposed 'news'. Sounds like some bullshit invented by MS haters on other forums to me. Seriously, point to just one reliable journalistic link.

 

[Solidus Snake]

Everyone pretty much hit the nail on the head. Let see, pay 15 a month for a boring MMORPG (Sorry, can't get into them) or pay 50 a year for online competition in fighting,shooting, racing, or even a possible console MMORPG. I like the fact I can wake up one day and say , "Anyone on n-g.com want to play a few rounds in XXXX?" It's not like they can come all the way to my house and play.

PS- If you can go to the right places, you can get XBOX Live for only 30 a year.

I don't know if you're trolling or not. You get what you pay for, and with Xbox it's a cheat-free zone. You won't see stupid shit in Counter-Strike like you would in the PC version (running through walls, and instant kills). If it's on there, that person is banned and there's a patch quickly thereafter.

Then there's downloadable content, a dedicated friends list, a feedback program, and special events such as the mystery gamer, where if you kill/beat him, you win prizes. There's a plethora of great, diverse XBL games that you can play online. I don't understand your complaint about the connection happening between two people instead of servers. You're having to connect to something either way and it's still proportional to your ping.

So let's get this straight, with Xbox live I can do the following:

1 - Chat with the voice communicator with friends across the globe as we play (or just chat instead of using a phone for long distance).

2 - Be able to play all Xbox live games with one fee (except for Phantasy Star, which I think is the only one).

3 - Create friends list from the multitude of people you meet playing various games

4 - Take part in the worldwide ranking system

5 - Keep it a cheat-free zone with the feedback system

6 - Win prizes offered during various special events held

7 - Download content for various games

8 - Download various arcade classics to your hdd and take part in their worldwide scoreboards


...So Xbox live is a "bloody joke and not really a service at all?" OMG It's a direct connection instead of going to a server! If that's your reasoning then I stand by my initial statement.

Thanks, Mr Gates.

Sorry, next time I'm met with "explanation, please" I'll just stick to "fuk u, lolz" for the sake of conformity.

Indeed, I think folks are too used to the DashK wigger lingo that actual thought out comments don't make sense. You're not going to convince these ignorant pissy bitches anything. Once they win the lotto and move out from thier mobile homes to a studio apartment, then maybe they won't bitch as much.

Seems some folks don't mind paying out the nose for cable, broadband, and all the other comfort services, but $50 is just a mind fuck. Go figure.

Are you a member of the Xbox Retail Team? Because I swear to God, that looks exactly like the information they have on the "Learn about Xbox Live!" training thingsol on the site. Eerie.

I hate to admit it, fatty,

But you are as right as the opposite of left

LIVE is the best thing that has happened to console games in our modern times

 

[Loopz]

I notice the only people who really bitch about XBox Live are ones who've never played on it. Seriously, when the Bawks came out, I was the last person who wanted to hand Bill Gates a chunk of my cash. Fact is, the service is a hell of a value, and there really is something for everyone to play, from Halo 2 and Crimson Skies to OutRun 2 to all the 2D fighting games. It's the last vestige of regular competition I can find anywhere, and only the most blind, deaf, and dumb of MS Haters would bash what is a hell of a value.

All, of course, without ever having tried it. Fucking morons.
Bashing a service without having used it is just as dumb as bashing a game you've never played.

 

[Chicago Cheeseburgler Crew]

Thanks, Mr Gates.

What a fucking dumb reply.
