Wait, what. Isn't PSN free? Does XBL have a lot more stuff on it? What he is saying doesn't make sense to me.
Yes it is. Yes it does.
No it doesn't. Xbox Live Gold isn't even worth using for free, let alone that it would have something that makes it worth paying for.
Haters gonna hate.

It is a mystery.
To the Mystery Machine!



sorry had to XD

OT: Mehh, im fine with this, it's only an extra pound for me. if it was a tenner, then i would turn off live, but it isn't, so I'm fine ^_^

This probably wont change much. People aren't going to boycott XBL over a $10 rise.
I will. I don't represent 'people', though.
I can totally understand why you would want to boycott, I would if I didn't like having XBL so much. Microsoft are charging more because they know they can.

meh as someone who's been on XBL for about 4 yrs now, (minus a year without internet connection so i didn't renew) i can honestly say i see this changing nothing for me, i truly get my money's worth out of XBL with the amount of games i play, plus the friends that i've made over the years, an extra $1 a month is a small price to pay in my opinion

I can't understand why anyone finds it worthy to complain about a small extra fee like this. What I would want from Xbox live is a way to cancel gold without having to call customer support, since now I am paying for gold on an xbox that is far away right now...

Hah I am mainly a PC gamer, but also I get my XBOX live off ebay from a seller I trust, so I only pay £2.50 anyway :)

i play multiplayer games on my PC. i play my single player games on my consoles; so doesn't effect me at all.

people WILL complain, and people WILL butch about it for a while; but in the end, people are not going to really care, because they're still gonna fork out for it 'cause they still want to play their games with others.

I'm sorry, this is one price raise too much for me. You charge me out the ass for Live anyway, now you add 15-20 bucks to that price, fuck off. I am filing an official complaint to tell them how insane they are being. I wont be renewing at that price. My subscription is up in December. I am either going to buy another year at it current price or speed up my purchase of a ps3. But fuck that, they can't get away with charging whatever they want.

Actually fuck it, it (kinda) worked for L4D2, boycott group anybody?

HAH good thing I'm a PC gamer...
Steam provides a simlar service for absolutly nothing. Which is why steam will never be on 360 but is coming to PS3. There was an article on it the other day.

Typical Microsoft snakey money grabbing attitude said perfectly in this picture.



Unfortuantely this really seems to be their attitude which is a shame. As with that money I don't see why they can't pay for proper full time mods that ban people that do things like Mic spam and other things. I swear to god even if I could I wouldn't have XBL due to the extremely hot and cold community.

I kind of like the aesthetic more, but other then the Mii rip-offs I'm not aware of any features the PS3 lacks.
I agree I hear all this XBL is better "Moar content " and all that bull but other than he old Xbox games and few exclusive arcade games everything is available on the PSN. PSn also hs great ps1 titles, PSN arcade games like Joe Danger to offer.

It's not about being a hater. If it were worth it for free, then at least I'd create a new account each month for the free trial.
