So I've read most of the comments here and this is what I see......(numbers are rough estimates)
80-90 percent of comments are PS3 owners/fanboys either: A) Proclaiming a victory for PS3; B) Saying that Live subscribers are sheep, stupid and little kids; C) Live should be free
Ok, so A people...it's not a freaking war or battle, it's two businesses trying to make money.....B people - I'm 22, not a sheep because it's my money and I research...
They haven't raised it in 9 years....really? You're using that as argument ammo?
funny, so does any computer no matter the cost*
*only applies to working computers of any specification range...
I honestly don't get the big deal of a browser on a console....when I'm right by my computer that can do the same thing only better....to each their own though
Nexus Wars is fun but there's a bit of a learning curve at first but once you figure out how income and unit pathing works, it's a lot of fun (Play on low or with a really fast connection though...lag city)
I might try party craft...it just seemed like a quick crap map that was put out but it sounds like it's actually put together well
This is a month after release...give it time and we'll be amazed and shocked at the stuff coming out
Oh, glad to know it wasn't me....I wasn't sure if I was too loud eating this hamburger or not. Thanks for putting my mind at ease
Actually I'm pretty sure it only applies to the countries that get ESPN, Hulu, etc....for example, I know Sweden isn't having a price increase
Now Mexico I don't know what they have or don't have but Canada is only getting an increase on the 1 month thing and if anyone buys in months, they're already getting a raw deal compared to the 12 month.
Knowing is everything
I got it. I got it. I got it.
They did it to make you ask why....then they figured.."eh, what the heck? let's make some more money while we're at" and so a price hike was born
Why is it so important that every movie be oscar worthy? I was entertained so it was a good movie. I didn't expect it to be anything past a somewhat shallow action movie and bam, that's what it was. People set their expectations WAY too high for things
let's not forget firefight which can be played forever (literally)
not many people are justifying it but instead saying big deal, 83 more cents a month isn't gonna kill anyone.....and people are overreacting
I'm still buying Reach and I've got Live until July when I'll have to decide on reupping with Live at the new price point...until then, overreact one and all because it doesn't affect me until July
1) Stop saying people are sheep for purchasing something they enjoy. I don't call you a sheep for not playing Halo or Gears do I? I'm happy people enjoy their PS3 and I leave it at that. If you're just buying something because of name or because your told to, then fine...you might be a sheep (or redneck; take your pick....credit to Jeff Foxworthy). If I buy Halo: reach, it's because I want the damn game and it's fun to play. It's not because someone said to buy it...
When you as the consumer want it too....I'm not buying horse armor, another character, more MW2 maps (will buy Reach maps though because I'll enjoy the game more and Bungie's maps more)
What do people not understand? The market decides what people charge for things. If they charge 60 and user base drops by a lot, then they'll stop charging that. If you have a problem with horse armor (some dumb people out there), then don't buy it. Just because it'...
Seriously, it's not like they're asking for your newborn.
Where's the same outrage that gas is around 2.50 in Texas right now?
It was 1.50 nearly 5 years ago. That's almost a 50-60% increase in price but that rage has died down a bit....this will too.
People overreact; it's what they do
As for this dude, if he even had it preordered, he's an idiot....you cancelled over 10 bucks? Really? You're n...
Angry much?
I can't justify the increase but I can say this about live...I enjoy playing on it more than PSN for a couple reasons
1) Exclusives like halo and Gears I can't get on PS3
2) Most of my friends game on 360 (real friends...we're not made of money so they can't all own both)
3) I like the way everything is integrated together and it's easy to use. PSN isn't a beast to use but it's not exactly user friendly like Live (imo)
4) I...
ZOMG MS IS THE DEVIL OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY...MOVE OVER KOTICK. XBOTS ARE SUCKERS AND SHEEP
Grow up people. I have and that allows me the ability to buy, play and do what I want with MY money. You do what you want with YOUR money but I will continue to use MY money to pay for XBOX live at the current/new price point. There's a line I'll draw in the sand but they aren't at that point yet.
Notice the use of pronouns and how they pertain to the r...
by saving money instead of renewing when it comes due....yea, cause they totally don't want that extra 20 bucks....
Really people, grow up
How is it pathetic to play what you want? If Sony started charging, PS3 owners who loved games like Killzone 2 or 3 would pay for it...trust me
There will be a line where I say enough is enough but they haven't reached that yet. It's not a set in stone line because it all depends on the quality of the games they put out and the quality of the service/integration.
As for the wool being pulled over my eyes, I'm a savvy consumer and person. I can ...
Really, so I'm supposed to move on from Halo: reach when it isn't even out yet. This isn't a platform war. I could care less whether one wins or not since I have both. I play the games I want to and those are Reach and Gears 3
LOL, move on from something that isn't even out yet...slow your life down a bit, you might enjoy it more if that's your attitude.
Oh, and I have both consoles but thanks for the advertising attempt
that's the only thing about the 360 controller I would fault but as mentioned, it's hardly used for anything past pressing it from time to time but nothing gamebreaking
