Accountability: Xbox Live and The Playstation Network

It was about nine in the morning on Easter Sunday. I was halfway through brushing my teeth when I remembered, quite spontaneously, that on the next day my Xbox Live Gold account would automatically renew for another twelve months. I had received the email from Microsoft a month earlier, warning me they would be using my credit card to take another $80 from my bank account and, at the time, I thought little of it.

Where do these people get these off the wall numbers from for XBL Gold?

I see everything from $40, to $65, $80 and depending on the blatant lack of research by the person, even higher.

Once and for all, it's not $80 for XBL. It's not now and It never has been. It's $60 a year if you do it via the dashboard or xbox.com, or cheaper if you buy from third-party retailers.

EDIT - Foot in mouth. Writer lives in Australia. Let this be a lesson to everyone who doesn't want to look like a douche like me - read before you comment.

:-S

XBL Gold is BS - online gaming should always remain free, still Sony screwed out with PSN!

xstation794733d ago

Having a secure network is not BS. Sony fanboys should have learned that by now

dragon824733d ago

LOL. Happens to the best of us. Don't sweat it man.

cyclonus0074733d ago (Edited 4733d ago )

Was there any confirmation to the rumor that Activision got Microsoft to raise the price of Live so they could get a piece of that fee? I remember Kotick was bitching about not getting any revenue from Live and then the price went up a few months later.

Maybe that was the price Microsoft paid to get the CoD maps first?

SuicideShaun4733d ago

Another article to try and "even" the tension...

tplarkin74733d ago

I agree. The story is too "good for Sony" to be true.

Tired4733d ago

It wasn't 'good' for anyone. Merely pointing out people who blindly hand out details are a little bit stupid. He has a point. I have apparently had my details stolen from at least 3 other companies....and yet to have anyone try to use them.

I own a PS3 and NO-ONE has any of my details....
Mwah ha ha.

I mean seriously who puts down their ACTUAL address after card verification? Sony aren't sending you post...you change it.

I am more than happy for people to try and get credit in my alter ego's name.

ForROME4733d ago

Do not sub it your info to any console company, buy the Xbox live card instead, and its likely you will get a better price doing that as well too

GusBricker4733d ago

Yeah, Amazon is your friend. I got 5(12 months+1) for 35 bucks each.

hazelamy4733d ago

there's a reason i won't put any credit or debit card on either syatem.
if i want to buy something i'll pay cash for a store card.
it means ms can't charge me for something wqithout telling me and i don't have to worry about those hackers having any of those details.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5068d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905068d ago (Edited 5068d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5068d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5068d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495068d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5068d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5068d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
