Xbox Live increasing in price

[Psychonaut]

Why anyone would ever wanna play a 3D FPS is way beyond me... scary *censored.2.0* bro.

Q: So you can play in 3D now? already?

At least then you can say you know what it feels like to be in a war zone. Though I don't imagine sleeping soundly for weeks after that type of experience.

And yeah, there's a few titles that were patched that allow you to play the game in 3D. If I remember correctly, I think Sony was having some sort of promotion where you get three free PSN titles that support 3D if you buy their 3DTV or something like that.



Cross game invites are there now.

I don't think it'd be THAT jarring.. and not nearly as bad/harsh as the real thing..

it's just visual, it isn't, say, blowing dust at you, raining on you, hitting you with debris.. and 3d can still only go so far, really.

this generation under me/next generation is gonna be *censored.3.0*ed though, walking around with 3dtv's asplodin in their faces constantly.

4-D

unrealistic hopes and dreams for televisions.

unless they pull some matrix *censored.2.0* on us.

then god help us.

Cool. Mega told me.

It's not too bad.

Lol at fanboyism. . Honestly I got a PS3 though, just because A it had gone down in price, B is a bluray player/dvd player/cd player/able to play stuff from computer player, and C had some games exclusive I really wanted to play like little big planet and infamous.

I already had internet fps games from my pc and I was happy with that.

I tried one of the 3D TVs in a Sony store a few weeks. It was a cool effect but it didn't blow me away or anything. The price did, though.

On the topic of 3D, don't bother with it, Holograms are the future. I read in a newspaper, about 3 weeks ago,(don't ask for link) that they just made a huge breakthrough with holographic images.

Really? Sounds awsome, hope they carry on with it.

this.

also, I doubt we'll see in our lifetime holograms being a widely-accepted form of anything. niche/high class/expensive, maybe, just barely, but I don't think that a whole business will change their buildings dramatically just to accommodate one innovation.

awesome job naming names btw, david. reliable source is reliable.

I don't see how people can defend this. No matter how good Xbox live is, there's no excuse to spend 60 dollars for it when you can play online for free on PSN, and even the Wii. You could buy a new game with that money.

Well xbox started at 50 dollars, and the price remained constant oblivious to inflation, so...
PSN, despite being free, isn't as good a xbox, and wii doesn't even count.

It might be easy for you to say, since you're favorite game is LoZ: completely single player. For me, and a lot of other people though, I spend 90% of my video game time online.

Same here, once and awhile, I'll get into a single player mood for a month or two, but most of the time I like to play online. Just cause I can pick it up and put it down so easily before work/school and stuff, and I still have tons of fun.

Wii's online sucks some serious balls.

Okay then mega, you want to complain about paying $60 for a year of Live.
Well, for that 60, you're getting to play online, use of Last.fm, Facebook, Twitter, Zune, Netflix (for the US).
But that's not what I really wanted to talk about, which in fact was Playstation Plus...
Sure, you get a nice discount on the odd game you buy, however... that discount is what you just payed for.
Now, if you were to buy alot of games, then you'll get a nicer discount... but you're still buying a *censored.2.0*ton of games! So they are really getting your money some other way.

Also, just a thing with those discounts, XBL Gold members get discounts on Games of the Week, DLCs etc.

Yeah, but you get 4 free games a month, and there's a good bit of free DLC and avatars an stuff, so you could make it work for you.

And most of the time, you rarely pay $60. Since I'm a gold member, they have a deal where I can renew mine for 67% off.
