Microsoft: We won’t scrap Live Gold fees
« on: August 01, 2008, 10:05:00 AM »
"Best bargain"?  Maybe if the other consoles charged a fee for their online service.  Comparatively speaking, xbl gold is a horrible bargain compared to the other consoles.

It is the best experience for online gaming compared to the other consoles, though.

Just to reiterate, if you want to spend £20 a year instead of £40 a year, buy American scratchcards off the internet.

The months work anywhere in the world, but Microsoft Points only work for accounts domiciled in their region of origin.

My question: Will Live Primetime be free to gold subscribers? Or do you have to buy the individual games as well? The former would make gold more worth the price, but since they haven't mentioned it being free I should assume it's not.

Everything else is already freely available to Silver members.

Yes, and we (silver users):
- don't have to wait a week to download demo/free DLC
- can write personal messages from XBOX.COM website
- can play multiplayer...
[/IRONY MODE OFF]

And now imagine yourself paying 120€ for a year of Live Gold (because our currency is like 1:3.2)? Happy now? Don't think so...

sorry but this made me chuckle a little  biggrin.gif

I luvz meh some live but i have to admit it is hard to hear that the fees are scrapped for pc but console gamers are still being milked! I have been an avid Pc gamer and console gamer since birth. I just can't seem to make sense as to why for one it should be free and for the other it can't be o.0!!

Its not to bad of a cost for all the games you can play.  Besides people pay like what $10 or so a month to play a shitty MMORPG like WOW
