Read the article, its Games for Windows Live which is free.

Ron_Burgundy6066d ago

50$ turdz down the toilet, for M$!!!! :P

MSpence5166066d ago (Edited 6066d ago )

Ummmmmmm see 1.1

Ron_Burgundy6066d ago

only perfection is expected at the price of 50$

ChrisW6066d ago

If you believe this MS has fully and completely duped you! On the PC Live is Free. But do not fall for their propaganda! You will always fail!!!

So now you have a choice; Either defect to the Sony Socialist Republic or be politically destroyed!

Arsenic136066d ago

Whats more pathetic? An online service which offers so much more than its competitors chocking once in a blue moon or the opposite sides fanboys which ignore all fact and logical thought just to think something they bought is an extension to their sad pathetic selves.
Grow up already.

MSpence5166066d ago

What is even more pathetic is someone who comments without even knowing the facts.

Games for Windows Live is a FREE service. It is no longer part of the XBox Live subscription service.

Arsenic136066d ago

That doesnt change the fact that idiots like the few above talk fanboy crap all day everyday. I have both consoles and still prefer Live.

frjoethesecond6066d ago

Are you an idiot? This is a pc service.

Major_Tom6066d ago

what is the difference between live on windows and 360?

let me expand.

i mean is the interface different the way you interact with friends? buying games?

edit: wow good one, 360 gets rrod. we know.

narindp6066d ago (Edited 6066d ago )

your computer doesnt red ring. Thats one i can think of. For now it doesnt it is made by microsoft so you never no.

JonnyBadfinger6066d ago

Atleast MS and Xbox take the time to actually state the issue.

you never hear problems about PSN for 1 reason. SONY dont care. you dont get warning about next firmware upgrades or system updates. the only way you find out is by the internet. Where as MS and Xbox send a message to every Xbox LIVE user giving a time and date as to which the update will occur.

That right there is our $50 USD at work, and i will happy flash out my cash for a service that can provide important information such as this.

But this doesnt hae anything to do with Xbox LIVE so this article has been deliberately placed in the wrong section. These useless mods need to actually start being mods and do what forum mods do and move them to the appropriate place.

HDgamer6066d ago

Nah, because it's fixed within the next day or it doesn't happen. When Live is down well thats what you get when you pay for p2p. Besides the pc has dedicated servers for free, why pay for live again?

TheAntiFanboy6066d ago

GFW Live is basically a ton of the features of Xbox Live for the PC, for free. Things like a friends list, cross-game voice chat, party invites, achievements, servers hosted by Microsoft, etc.

Only problem is that not many games support GFW Live.

ps3d06066d ago (Edited 6066d ago )

HDgamer so you cant think of a way to defend the ps3 so you try to compare the 360 to the xbox.

"When Live is down well thats what you get when you pay for p2p."

Wtf does that even mean ? Are you trying to say that dedicated servers dont go down ? If you believe that you are really beyond f*cking stupid. PSN is always having troubles its been almost 4 years and sony hasnt done anything to fix it randomly crashing. Oh and btw 99% of psn games use p2p too. One last thing dedicated servers on the pc are not free companies have to pay for them. These companies could do the same for games on XBL and PSN but they dont cause they dont want to pay out of pocket when they can use something that is free.

HDgamer6065d ago (Edited 6065d ago )

They don't go down as often. Unless they let you know about scheduled maintenance. Remember MS did have christmas and the holiday's down which pissed a lot of gamers off. What good is a paid service if it can't even match PSN or PC like quality? PSN doesn't have even that slightest hiccup as live does. Every time it goes down there's a problem on live. Every time psn goes down it's back up within the hour or less.

Since you know nothing about dedicated servers especially on pc you should know that people can have their own servers and host their games. Sad for you but it's the truth. Just because you're trying to justify paying for something that should be free you don't show any merits at all. I can take that 50 a year and buy an extra game. Or I can buy something better.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio13d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing13d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit13d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing13d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
