Did I forgot something?

Yes how much an hour?

You're being a bit ridiculous.

PSN Plus and Live can't really be compared; they're not similar. Live is required to use half the functionality of the system, Plus is an additional service, a subscription service, for games.

So if you want to experience the full potential of xbox 360 you will need to have gold? Alright then.

Who is "he?" I'm not talking about anyone specific.
Also I'm not talking Live being a hard sell either. Both PSN plus and Live are hard sells and I believe neither are worth paying for, which I why I don't pay for either.

What I am talking about is the number of Sony defense force present on the forum as a whole.

I was talking about the OP.

Considering his situation (he already has a PC, PS+ and lives in europe) Live is a hard sell. And imo, people don't moan enough about Multiplayer being behind a paywall, especially since it's P2P for most games anyway.

There is a large defence force for Sony on gaf (just like there is for all of the console manufacturers) but that's not what's going on in this thread.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The games I had mentioned are God tier on live.....Of course their is hundreds of games that is on the service so I'm not sure why you need to point that out in your post.

The community I am also talking about is the presence of millions of millions of gamers throughout live that just isn't on any platform if you don't game on the PC. (even then its better because its from the console)

Also, Rooms? hangout?.....That makes online communities? On a console? What?

God tier? What? You hit quick match and enter a game. It's no different on PS3 and it's just as fast. Cross-game parties are a decent addition, but not a feature that warrants paying for.
Also, "heavenly" online experiences? Lol, I can only roll my eyes, you should work in marketing.

If you desperately want to play Halo and Gears online though, then yeah. There's no choice but to pay up.
Whether it's worth it is purely personal opinion.

So if you want to experience the full potential of xbox 360 you will need to have gold? Alright then.

Not the full potential of the Xbox 360, but full access to the game you paid 60 bucks for.

I'd say having Gold is pretty much a must if you own an Xbox. So many of the features are behind a paywall that Gold is almost mandatory if you want to use the systems to it's potential.

I have it because I occasionally play online and use netflix. I wish MS didn't feel the need to put netflix and online behind a pay wall, but they obviously would find it hard to justify the cost of Live if they didn't.

I begrudgingly pay for Gold on Live.

It has free advertisements.

Boom.

The 'he' is the OP..you know the guy that this thread is about. What you are doing is showing the world how sensitive you are with all things MS. Calling out other people, labeling them SDF etc etc is quite a pathetic display. Either make your case and try to help the OP make a choice or just stay out of these threads. You won't have to painfully pull stats out of your ass that way

edit: haha the previous post to this. Good timing

 

[Bog]

I can't sell you on it. I woke up about a year ago and killed my sub... even with all the cheap $30 "deals" it just makes no sense.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Do you like paying for stuff that should be free? Then by all means! Go right ahead!

 

[shintoki]

Because with the extra discounts, it pays for itself!

We are gamers and Microsoft has never really been pro gamer or consumer so while we trash Sony for being stupid at times, at least Sony isn't working against in the manner that Microsoft is.

 

[Boco_Jones]

I only pay for Live so I can boost and get those multiplayer achivements for some games. Don't want my achivement completion percentage to drop just because I didn't obtain the multiplayer dlc cheevs or whatnot.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

comparing this to the "Sell me on ps+" thread...this shit is HILARIOUS.

 

[Basil]

Eh... it's not really something to "recommend" per se as much as it is a cost you have no choice but to pay if you want to play 360 games online.

I've been a long term subscriber in the past but am currently a silver peasant as my Live friends don't seem to be playing the games I liked playing online (L4D, Gears) anymore these days. Honestly, even when I was using the online the most I didn't really feel like it was worth it, but then I live in Europe and from what I understand we seriously get the worse end of an already questionable deal compared to the US for Gold.

Hoping to see better incentives offered for the service next gen.
