I take it all back, fuck XBOX360, I plan on going PS3

I buy a yearly card when I'm out at Best Buy or wherever and my Live is close to expiring. It's pretty easy and there's no hassle.

As far as being charged a buck for no reason, I'm with you. One dollar isn't a ton of money, but the bottom line is companies have been known to put phantom charges on bills on purpose just to screw people out of even more money. By the way it is completely illegal and if they do it on the regular/ employees come forward or anything like that they will get slammed for it. It's unethical and bullshit. So I feel you on the principle of the matter.

you dont have silver...you have gold.....stop lying

this is like the kid back in the day who would swear up and down he had a blood code for super nintendo mortal kombat even though there wasnt one

maybe i do have gold...my main point is i aint payin for it...you mad

i think you mad we dont buy your bullshit

i dont care...but yall are buyin xbox cards [funny] fuck you

Your moms wired her credit card info...

switch to ps3, sony won't nickel and dime you just to play a game online.

the day xbox gold is free is the day i'll buy an xbox
they just made windows live! gaming free (probably because microsoft is desperate, computer gamers will never pay to play a game online unless it is a mmorpg).. if making xbox gold free is the next step for microsoft, i'd cop an xbox, but there isn't any games i want to play on it, besides gears of war 1/2

i may be eating my words soon

Rumor: XBL Silver Now Allows Free Online Play?

this nigga is just stupid, his mommy handles everything for him and he thinks some fairy just comes through and makes everything work

xbl silver can only play cross-platform games(aka shadowrun and an RTS i can't remember the name of for the life of me) don't expect free gold anytime soon, favian

yea.....it was just confirmed today...only cross platform (pc/360) games

and only until fall apparently

ah thats too bad.
maybe its my pc gamer roots, i refuse to pay to play a game online


i remember the old gamespy business model was good

the basic version was free, you can easily jump into any server for any game installed on your computer

but if you wanted to

- create a buddy list
- find out what server your friends are playing on at any given time
- send messages between friends
etc, whatever, you had to pay for the full version of gamespy.


i would even accept a stripped version of xbox live that only allowed online play, but restricted
audio communication in gameplay, friend/buddy list feature, exchanging messages online.
even then i would cop an xbox, but xbox live gold is essentially a mandatory purchase, which is why 360 isn't really cheaper than ps3. they are same cost when you consider cost of membership.

see i cant fuck with that.....id rather pay then have a broken system....i used to be a pc gamer too.....i would pay for a unified service if i was still pc gaming......thats why i cant fuck with the ps3 right now....it feels incomplete even after the updates..for all the cutting edge technology the software makes the system seem primitive

they need to get their shit together in terms of creating a tightly knit community. there are 10mil ps3's out there (worldwide). if i knew who to bitch at (at sony) i'd send them a nasty email.

you dont believe me so you stoop down to "you mommy pays for shit" insults...lmao i been grown status i could buy everybody in this thread an xbox and 20 games a piece with the money in my sock drawer...jayoo you specially get off my dick you broke ass pussy..complainin about payin for xbox live

^So get me NCAA 09, k?

coolthanx
