Rumor: Xbox Live Upgrades To "V.I.P. Membership"

After seeing the latest numbers from the NPD, it's safe to say the Xbox 360 is a beast! As for the Xbox Live, just when people thought Microsoft couldn't do anymore with this incredible feature, they're about to show and prove once again, when they introduce "V.I.P. Membership".

More biased garbage from the HHG. Is this site run by Microsoft? Because they all seem to have a raging erection over the 360 at all times..

exactly. hope its not too much.

ShabzS5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

online storage? ... i'm in. But is this real?

GWAVE5547d ago

This is HHG, so....does this feature even exist?

Fishy Fingers5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

It was on a MS questionnaire, thats it. So no, probably not.

potenquatro5547d ago

It's probably no true. The article is about an MS survey and talked about free silver memberships. Silver is already free.

Onlin gameplay should be free and they should charge for all this extra crap. If you got 120gigs, y pay for storage.

Lawliet5547d ago

Atleast HHG ain't causing any flamebait articles, I'm just going to believe on this one. This year E3 could be bigger then ever.

velaxun5547d ago

Tell me, how would paying even MORE for XBL make E3 the best evar?

Ozzyb5547d ago

Can you at least put "HHG" in the title so I don't click on topics about your garbage show? Not like I'm gonna hit the link to your site. The propaganda machine is chugging away, isn't it?

AAACE55546d ago

If this V.I.P. thing is true, wouldn't it be funny if they eliminated XBL silver, upgraded all silver members to gold (a.k.a. making XBL gold free), and upgraded all currently paid gold members to V.I.P.?

That would be funny as hell to me!

Mike134nl5547d ago

reduce the xbox live gold fee and sell the vip for the same price as the gold fee then we will talk

BrunoM5547d ago

i agree .. cut gold in half (that will make the silver get gold) and make these V.I.P the same price as the gold now or cheaper so you can get more users ...

but even like these what i get from my psn and live (yes live is a bit ahead) i think im not going gold again until i see a big jump and i can play my multy plat on he ps3 for free so im ok ..

but looking to see how these V.I.P thing works out ..

Anon19745547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

Without XBL subscription fees, MS Gaming division would be deep in the red. Your XBL fees paid for someone else to buy a $200 Arcade. (Well, and my fees. I paid for XBL gold once upon a time too)

Kushan5547d ago

darkride66: "Your XBL fees paid for someone else to buy a $200 Arcade."

Erm. What? How on earth did you come to that conclusion?
Are you suggesting that MS takes all the money people use to subscribe to live with and go out to buy 360 Arcades for people?

Anon19745547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

I'm just pointing out what MS's financials tell us. The one profitable year MS games had they made $400 million. Given that MS tells us there are 17 million Gold subscribers, that's between 800-850 million in revenue. Now I realize that XBL costs money to run but it doesn't take close to 850 million. Take that revenue away and MS games would be losing something close to half a billion dollars still each year.
So if it weren't for the XBL revenue, there's no way Microsoft Games could have afforded a price cut that caused their profits over the holidays to decrease 60% year over years on increased revenue and increased sales.
Were it not for your XBL money, MS couldn't offer $200 360's to new customers. Microsoft was even bragging recently that XBL revenue would soon approach one billion. All that money taken from gamers to play games they've already spent their money on...
When I see those kind of numbers that, quite frankly, pisses me off as a 360 owner. I can't help but think that MS is taking advantage of their customers. Thankfully there's other ways to game online.

The Emperor5547d ago

I agree with making Gold like dirt cheap, like 2.99 a month or cheaper, and yes make VIP what GOLD is now, that would be the only thing that would change my mind.

AAACE55546d ago

Trust me, just let it go!

I know I say some things that are hard for people to grasp, but your comment was out there!

Anon19745546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

AAACE5 said "I know I say some things that are hard for people to grasp, but your comment was out there!"

It's don't know what the big deal is. It's not hard to comprehend at all. You just have to look at the financial statement since since the price cut and if you can do simple math you can see what happened. You don't need to be a genius to put two and two together.

Now I understand they're in it to make money, but traditionally gaming companies made their money from selling consoles, games and accessories. Not so with Microsoft. XBL fees are the only thing keeping them afloat at the moment. It's like World of Warcraft. It's all about the subscription fees.

BasilMarceaux5546d ago

This should be what "Gold" is. Let people play online for free, but charge them for the perks, storage, etc.

Anon19745546d ago

They can't ditch those fees. They simply can't afford to.

I think i will wait for MS to come out and say it. HHG not really the best of sources.

Fishy Fingers5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

"According too a customers survey done in France, Microsoft is considering a new level of Xbox Live called the VIP service."

A questionnaire? Right.... Another OTT headline.

Kushan5547d ago

I remember filling out one of those questionnaires months and months ago. It pretty much focused on the first Scene it? game.
I made it my mission to mention that the game was good in every way except the announcer. I tried my hardest to shoehorn "The announcer is annoying and should be shot" into every question they asked.

"What did you like about the game?"
"Everything except the announcer"

"What didn't you like about the game?"
"The announcer"

"What would you do to improve the game?"
"Remove the announcer"

"Any other comments?"
"I hate the announcer. Hate hate hate"

I feel I did my bit to serve the gaming community.

Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy

isarai1d 11h ago

Omfg i would go apesh!t for that 😩

jznrpg2d ago

I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.

mkis0072d ago

It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.

Demetrius1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around

Why Far Cry 3 Was The Best Of The Franchise?

It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂

porkChop4d ago

A remaster of Far Cry 2 would be amazing, especially with the mods that fixed the broken stealth system and the dumb checkpoint respawns. Include those fixes and it would be a huge upgrade over the original.

JEECE4d ago

Enemies respawn in Far Cry 2? Terrible! It's a broken system! Make me a one-man army who can inexplicably hold an entire region!

Enemies respawn in Dark Souls and Zelda? Brilliant! So much more hardcore! Glad the devs took risks!

porkChop4d ago

The problem isn't them respawning. It's that they respawned after just 5 minutes. Like you'd still be in the area looking for diamonds, loot, exploring, etc, and the enemies would just respawn with you there.

Red Dead Redemption 1 Isn't As Good As People Remember It To Be

RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.

Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles

just_looken5d ago

I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.

red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.

I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny

Cacabunga4d ago

RDR1 is a legendary game!!!

Really how to cope with a slow news day…

just_looken4d ago

@caca

I know i said that

Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is

Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..

The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.

You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic

“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”

Oh and thanks for the laugh ..

jznrpg4d ago

They didn’t name it Red Dead Revolver 2. They named it Red Dead Redemption

neutralgamer19924d ago

Looken

It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated

On topic:

If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)

jeromeface4d ago

is also so damn funny how no one agrees with you

Junk article. Game was dope and still is. The swimming part sucks though.

just_looken5d ago

It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.

just_looken4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...

after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption

But you all will hate this because facts are scary

"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.

From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm

https://www.engadget.com/20...

The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in

Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.

jambola4d ago

Nobody asked about or mentioned revolver
Why are you bringing it up in every reply?

shinoff21834d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Just looken

I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates

Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af

-Foxtrot5d ago

I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
