That is the current retail price of 12 months of Xbox LIVE service. Most people sign up, then just let the account auto-renew every year. Frugal Xbox 360 gamers have been taking advantage of the latest barrage of deals on the 12+1 month Xbox LIVE card deals that have kicked off the new year.
With that being said, given the fact that both Sony and Nintendo offer their online services for free, the pressure is on Microsoft to continue to innovate and offer a reason for gamers to continue to pony up on their annual subscriptions.
What do you think?
Is a price drop or free Xbox LIVE gold subscription coming this generation?"
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
It has to happen at some point this years if sony does a $100 price-cut,
any hardcore gamer will tell you that online is a most have and if sony does a $100 price cut then the cheapest 360 with live would only be $50 cheaper then that PS3 and with no hard-drive.
they should do this during E3 to steal some thunder from sony.
I will be there, if they steal anything from Sony. I will jump in and lend them a helping hand, because I have always wanted to roll my sleeves up, tuck my cigarettes in one cuff, and fight one on one with Steve Ballmer.
Personal dreams aside... I am interested in seeing where LIVE is headed with competition getting more fierce on the online front.
I cant see it being free, whats 12,000,000 X $50, that's alot of money for msft to lose.
Oh c'mon, the bots has already getting use to being r@pe over and over again, they don't mind.....! Hahahahahaha.
The better PSN gets the harder it becomes to justify the fee for Live. No chance it stays a pay service by this time next year.
