I have been an Xbox Live subscriber for the better part of the last decade. I've always shrugged off the suggestion that the service should be made available for free; people are more than welcome to take that position, but I've always been personally fine with paying. I've found myself rethinking that position over the last week, and a lot of that is Sony's doing.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
Xbox Live 1.0, the first instance of online servers for the original Xbox, is set to return via Insignia, a free third-party service that's currently compatible with 20 titles, such as Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Counter-Strike.
It took you 7 Years really?
It's about time. What took you so long?
Plus is offering some great deals but i will still be keeping xbox live too.
The propaganda and bs lies that ppl spew as if this was 2008 saying psn sucks is just insane. Don't be fooled "live" to many may be better, but not by much and definitely not because online play suffers on the ps3. Since owning my ps3 since launch ive had few issues with online and all my games run smoothly. Ppl criticize it for no party chat but to be honest i dont even use that feature on my vita.
Bottom line is PS3 online is good and ppl make it seem as if "live" is so much better are full of it. Add on the fact tht you have to pay for live lol and psn wins that debate imo. Add on ps plus (which i have been a subscriber since day one) and the games they have given us and psn trumps it all
In any case seriously all bs aside Ps plus is def worth it now its a steallllllll!!!! I cant be happier. I never owned Lbp2 or Infamous 2 and im having a blast with both!!!1 I cant wait to see what new games come out next month!!!!!!
