god damn i love good news!
i told you that when the price for this goes up, you'll have to pay.
the funny part is that you're going and willing to pay. lol!

wii, ps3 and pc are all free. so why would you want to pay?! because they're idiots being ripped off by marketers!

 

And Microsoft raising prices is good news to you because you hate Microsoft? Congrats, you're now a douchebag!

Sorry, but I don't recall you predicting ANYTHING correctly. I've gone through all your posts meticulously, and I failed to see any prediction you've made regarding this. You're not a video game expert, or a prophet in that manner. So please shut your mouth; YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!

Not everyone is. There are people protesting against this over at GameSpot as we speak. Some are even planning to ditch XBox Live coming November.

And for you to celebrate price hikes, such as this, is quite unthinkable. But what can I, or anybody else say about you? You don't think at all.

By the way, I don't own an XBox 360 console myself, but I do sympathize with consumers who do get screwed over by such disservice, whether the company is Nintendo, Sony, and/or Microsoft.

 

Gosh... internet trolls on Gamespot.

 

if they didn't mind paying for the $50, why would they mind with a simple $10 increase? they always say it's worth the money so that $10 increase would suggest it's worth even more, $10 more to be exact. it's funny they protest over a $10 increase when they should have protested on having to pay $50. now that is very smart. wii, ps3 and pc gamers pay nothing and 360 gamers pay $50. protest about a minor increase as opposed to protesting about having to pay?! that is very smart. congrats hypr! congrats! that was good news about the protest hypr. you brought me good news! god bless to that!

 

Ultra topic!

 

I've justified the price before hand since Microsoft 90 percent of the time hosts all the content on their servers (the other 10 is EA) and by implementing the music/party chat feature in EVERY game. Having a ten dollar increase in the US for, what, ESPN and Video Kinect (which is their excuse)? Both are features that most won't use and the Kinect thing is only useful if you bought Kinect. And hell, this ONLY affects the US year long membership prices. Why would they do that? I highly doubt they're going to compete against PS+ and offer more 'free' content, this is just a money grab on their part and it sucks.

On the plus side, the US price is FINALLY equal to the Canadian price, although I wish our cost went down by 10 dollars instead.

The big difference between Xbox Live and PSN and Wii online (infact Wii online sucks and shouldn't really be compared). Is that PSN doesn't offer party chat and the music in any game, also the free trials of Xbox Live Arcade games AND the exclusive Arcade games is how I feel justified by spending money on the service. That and it's the only way to play online on the console. PSN is getting better, but I won't consider totally switching until the have a couple of the thing I've mentioned.

 

I honestly don't mind the price that much. I like Xbox 360 online more than PSN or Wii online, and most people I know have it. I'm not an idiot. If I decide I want something enough to pay for it, I'll do it. I've bought a few prepaid yearlong cards off Amazon already, so this doesn't affect me at all.

Ultra stop being such a asshole.

 

I fail to see why you think people having to pay more is a justifiable reason for you to be a douchebag.

Also, the wii has absolutely no place in this since their online stuff is the equivalent of a pile of shit in most cases. You definitely get what you pay for in that regard.

PSN needs some more tweaking before I'd label it as good and the PC will likely never be beaten in regards to this issue like with most things.

Anyways, it really looks like you only made this topic to be a dick so I'm closing it. Apologies to anyone who wanted to say anything else.

Locked.
