Sears to Offer $29.99 Xbox LIVE 12 Month Cards This Week

Elven6 - 297 days 19 hours ago

Live will not be free, only cheaper! I bet this is a test, Microsoft will see how much sales have spurred and decide if a official drop is in the cards. (No pun intended)

MS isn't giving up $500 million+/yr, with no way to readily replace that lost income.

but seeing deals like this really does help a guy like me that refuses to pay to play games online bite the bullet and pick up a 360.

PSYCHE!

Sorry but charging for online is lame. PSN is adding features and functionality all the F'ing time. So why would I pay when I get what I want-to play games online-and more for free?

Because Live creates features and SONY incorporates them on PSN much later. By that time MS drops another stack of new features on Live while SONY has to play catch up once again.
PSN will never reach the level of Live, period.
SONY wins for hardware because that's what they do.
MS wins for software because that's what they do.
THE END.

@Lifendz- I see your point and there are many who feel the same way you do.

@SUP3R-I see your point as well.

XBL is almost 6 years in the making and is steadily improving. PSN is still rather young, but steadily improving and Sony has invested a lot of time and money into. It is shapely up nicely. I still find XBL to fit my needs a lot more than PSN at this time. It should be better it has been around and improved for a long time compared to the PSN. I do not paying the fee for XBL, free would be awesome, who can argue that. But until the PSN can match toe to toe with XBL I do not see it being free. It ook a long time just to get in-game XMB, you know i am right. Or if Sony captures a lot of the online gaming market and I am not talking about the 2 upwards to 6 PSN account made by one person.

I for one hope the PSN/Home picks up popularity and improves greatly to force MS to drop or make XBL free. Don't you just love competition. BTW, I have both PSN and XBL and see the need for both.

Gamers game, period! Game on...

You might have just had to pay for another year just recently, but that's not going to change the facts and Live will be free in due time. (but I understand your frustrations because you will not get your money back just like I never got my money back from my extended warranty purchase after they made it free for all)

Anyway the money they make on Live is less than they spend on advertising and what better way to advertise than offer Live free.

The website does not show it for $29.99. But if you look at the actual Ad for the week on the site it does show the discount.

You just had to wait until today (Sunday) as it's showing $30 now. I'm about to go pick up a couple.

You'd have to be a moron to disagree as it's $30 at Sears right here:

Perhaps, all of these $30 sales from retailers are a sign of price drop. I think it would be cool if the price was permanently slashed to $30 and a free version with ads made the Silver account online multiplayer enabled. More people playing online the better.

PSN is at least as good and Steam is superior to all yet both are free.

and there's no denying XBOX Live is worth $30 a year. Sony's online is decent enough, but I've played a fraction of games with my friends on my PSN list compared to the 360. It's like night and day, free or not.
