Post by: cloud345 on July 04, 2002, 03:39:41 PM: Well I got bored of waiting and I didnt watch the whole thing. But from what I saw I cant jusdge it because of the horrible acting. I dont know if it looks bad because of the actors or if it is just plain bad......probaly the acting.

Post by: nataku on July 05, 2002, 12:24:18 PM: Hmm... that video seems to forget to mention the monthly fee that you will have to be paying for the service.

Post by: clowd on July 05, 2002, 01:15:53 PM: The first 12 months arent free like MS previously said, its 4$ a month for the first 12...then it becomes 10 after that...

Remember this is added to your 50$ broad band bill totalling 60$ a month to play online with the x box...my PC doesent even cost that much a month

Post by: Watchdog on July 05, 2002, 02:18:46 PM: You\'d be paying that to play online with anything.

By that wonderful logic, PS2\'s online fee is 50/month. :rolleyes:

You are such an idiot Clowd, no wonder everyone hates you.

Please stop asuming.

You would pay 50$ for PS2 online gaming if you used BB. IT is even more (60$) for x box

I dont use bb. Too expensive.

That is why I dont like it. And again, please dont asume

Post by: Watchdog on July 05, 2002, 02:54:49 PM: But people with BB aren\'t using it exclusively for xbox. That\'s like saying it costs me $350/month to drive to the grocery store with my car.

Truly, you can\'t think your point has any validity.

Im saying MS wants you to use a Ferrari to drive to the store

Post by: Watchdog on July 05, 2002, 03:04:24 PM: No, they\'re saying we\'re giving you the best online gaming there is. We will make no compromises.

Besides, you\'re not addressing the point. If you have a Ferrari, no one would say "Dude, you\'re paying $350 bones to get groceries. What a rip off." I said no one, because I forget that there are people like you around.

Devs don\'t make games for people with 286s anymore. Certainly 286s are cheaper, almost anyone could have one--why don\'t they do it?

Post by: cloud345 on July 05, 2002, 03:12:21 PM: This is the worst argument in the world.....your comparing driving to the store in a ferrari to video games! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! :laughing:

Post by: mm on July 05, 2002, 04:15:05 PM: not a bad analogy actually, but bad timing :)

anyways, my ISP bill is going up again this month
i will be paying 52$ a month for my cable

uGh, no way in hell im paying an additional fee to play games online
Title: x box live
Post by: Watchdog on July 05, 2002, 04:20:55 PM: Take some notes from mm, Clowd.

Yeah, I can respect that decision even though I don\'t understand it. My ISP raised rates about a year ago. I could NEVER go back to dial up. My parents have it and I practically go crazy.

It\'s too bad, I would have liked to play you when XBL goes live. Maybe one day you\'ll see the light. :)
Title: x box live
Post by: mm on July 05, 2002, 05:38:04 PM: yeah, when they make it free :)

at any rate, the 1st year is only what, 50$ ?

i\'ll make that jump, but 10$+/month just goes against my judgement

Post by: Watchdog on July 05, 2002, 09:29:17 PM: Glad to hear it, mm. The more people I know online the better.

Post by: Mr. Kennedy on July 06, 2002, 12:11:51 AM: I\'ll go for the first 12, but it just doesn\'t make sense, talking from a market standpoint, to INCREASE prices... i dunno, it\'s just me.
