Well at least they've cut that crap out with NATO and the FBI. I can actually get behind something like this.
Even the Sony thing again? Why do they always go back to Sony? What about Microsoft?
Microsoft are the assholes of the gaming industry, dammit!
Fanboyism detector getting dangerously high.
Anyways, that is really... Weird....
I have a 360 and PS3.
I call Microsoft the assholes of the gaming industry because nothing is free for them. Play with people online? Subscription fees!
More than that, they don't allow free updates/patches. Either the customer has to pay for them (obvious), or they force the developer to pay for them. (Assassin Creed: Brotherhood's first two mappacks (I think))
Edit: Also, they don't allow anything to be off their network...which is one of the reasons why Dust 514 is PS3 exclusive.
look what "free" service gets you, hacked to hell and back. you get what you pay for, and since you pay nothing for psn, they owe you nothing. we pay for a service, and as such, microsoft is aware of that fact and protects it and us with that money, and to prevent lawsuits. seriously, playstation could permenantly shut down all servers and not be legally in trouble at all.
XBL has been hacked many, many times. I've actually posted a few links to that effect yesterday. And what about Nintendo? Nintendo also has free service.
Never to such a ludicrous extent. I've been a member of XBL for many, many years and I've never had my security compromised. Aside from security risks, you HAVE TO acknowledge the accessibility of the 360 over the PS3. My friends and I all have both and we never, ever play the PS3 online. Its interface is far too annoying and lacks a proper lobbying system. 360's Party system is the best thing to ever happen to console online gaming. And don't even try to pretend Nintendo's online system is worth noting. That friend code stuff is a joke and barely passable as a means of playing with your friends.
Also, XBL is super cheap. A year's subscription on its own is what, $60? If you use promotional deals, you get things like two years and 1600 points for $84 like I did. That's $3.50 a month and $20 worth of free online content. Seriously, if you can't afford that, you should not be playing video games in the first place.
I don't have to acknowledge nothin'. I had XBL and it was shitty. Actually, I really like PSN's interface and thought XBL had the shittiest interface this side of Pluto.
XBL has shitty customer service too, and I've never had a problem with Sony's. I canceled my XBL account and only use the PSN now. Nintendo has a worse setup than the PSN, but still superior to XBL. To add to that list, what about Valve? They don't charge a fee either.
Face it. There is a difference between wanting to make a profit and wanting Scrooge McDuck-levels of money.
The nintendo online service is better than XBL? There are only 3 possible things one can deduce from that comment. Either you don't have an Xbox and/or a nintendo or you're trolling.
The fact that you still claim that PSN is better than XBL makes me think it's far more likelier that you don't have an Xbox or never had XBL gold (if I had to choose between PSN and Xbox live silver I'd pick XBL silver, PSN is that bad), I'd ask you to link your XBL acc to your escapist acc but one could probably find a loophole in that.
Then again, you don't care about my post, you're obviously very confident in the quality of your favorite online service, that must be why you're also desperately trying to defend your choice in a thread that isn't even about it.
