$50 a year is preety cheap don't ya think?

Spoiler: to save that kind of money you leave your P.C./Console for many days and get this thing called a Carrer. I'm sorry let me spell that a little slower...

C...a...r...r...e...r

Hey, what are you doing with that shotgun? O_O!

A carrer? What the fuck is a carrer!? Anyone here heard of a carrer???

Anyways, Xbox Live is like 30 or 40 pounds here in Blighty, right? That's about £3 a month. If that means the service runs smoothly, gets updated frequently and all that jazz I'd happily pay for that.

haha, some dudes called me a 'whinner' cos i complained about something the other day, (woot! i'm a whinner :)

makes you wonder huh - maybe firefox needs an inline grammar checker as well as spellcheck (K.O. YOU LOOSE!) :o

would i pay for xbl, definitely, hell i even pay for hotmail ;)

would i pay for online services for all three consoles? no effin way :)

Frapple:
I gladly pay the £30-40 a year, it's like 5p/week and is much, MUCH better than anything else I've tried, and with Nintendo trying charge for that excuse for an online, we're getting an awesome deal.

wut...? Nintendos' online multiplayer is free... you pay to download games for the "Virtual console"

please check your facts before posting :)

maybe that they have to program the acheivements into the game? other than that i cant really think of much that would be to charge for.
ive never been on XBL and i have a ps3 i dont really mind the online because i dont really ever get messages on it (ive gotten like 3 messages in over a year)but for some reason my wireless router cant handle having my laptop and ps3 connected at once so if im playing ps3 online then no internet and visa versa so thats kidna a pain

Its paying for a service that would be free if it wasn't run by a bunch of profiteering gluttons

For the past couple of hours, I've been trying to get onto CoD4 and get the new maps. However, it won't let me download the updates for the game and the Market Place wouldn't come up (I was told to try again later). I've checked my internet connection, and everything tests out normal. Right now I'm pissed off because my friends can get on fine, but I won't let me.

That being said, I still think the Live service is currently the best and is worth paying for. I think they could stand to charge a little less, especially since the company already makes such large profits. But I still like it overall.

Over 100,000 people are trying to get to those maps. Thats why your having trouble. You should have stayed up like me :)

I like xbox live, I think its worth the price tag seeing as how I have no plan on coughing up the $1000 dollar investment for a PS3 or the $300 dollar upgrade for my PC I'll just stick with my Xbox named Clarice.

It took a couple of hours to download, but I finally got it.

You named your 360 too? I've been trying to think up a good name for mine, but nothing comes to mind.

Just look at it and call it the first name that comes to your head.

Or just name it Vera. That's what I named my guitar. I call her Vera.

Fire Daemon, I looked at it, but nothing came to mind.

Vera? I like the name, but for some reason I consider my 360 'masculine'...probably because I say and do things near it that I would want no woman to have to see/hear...plus my friend and I used to hang out and play with it, so I considered it 'one of the guys'.

I'm sure I'll come up with a name, but it might take a while.

Why Steve?

I personally dont mind paying for XBL, compared to PSN and the Wii's online capabilities I feel like Im paying for a better service.

Its true there are alot of morons on XBL but thats hardly Microsoft's fault. I bought a years subscription for 30 GBP on ebay which came with an additional free month. So thats under 3 GBP a month, Im not really gonna lose sleep over it.

...And I though I was alone in naming my Xbox 360. Her name is Hystaene.
