Dear Microsoft

Make multiplayer gaming free and all the rest of the stuff chargeable, that's the way it should be. Even if they charge an extra 50 MSP for expansion packs etc to cover the costs, although they must be marginal.

I'm in agreement. Basic online play should be free and Gold should be a 'premium' service with discounts for buying online content, access to dedicated servers, ranked servers etc. P2P should be free and I think will be before too long.
 
It should be free for the basic service and gold gets people priority over the paupers and other special stuff. Having more people online to play games shouldnt be a bad thing.

I went to play saints row online and there doesnt seem to be anyone there :/

I think ms will make it free eventually if only to compete with sony

EA is going free for their online pc game, I think that is a trend
 
I do have to ask the dangerous question...

Could Microsoft handle making Live free?

I mean every christmas, When they get loads of new people on live, It dies.

So if they made it free, and all of a sudden everyone with a silver account, or everyone who hasnt bothered with live, either due to the cost or generally just not thinking they need it, Joins the service

What's going to happen?

I cant help but think if you knew anything about Microsoft or business you would understand its entrepreneurial beginnings and its development of a demand unlike anything before it.

But if you make greed synonymous with those facets, then yes, greedy.. just like all businesses and the capitalist western world.

There are stacks of entrepreneurs and big businesses who do quite nicely by giving an excellent service for a good value product.

I don't think Microsoft fall into this category for anything they do tbh, and it's entrepreneurial beginnings are murky at best.
 
I'm just suprised that micrsoft charge for there online service, it goes against what they stand for in this sense.....

you only have to buy hardware and software not services, werid if you ask me.

As for slagging of Ms shut up..

You seen it since last update? The Marketplace is well easier to navigate around.

I just meant the friends list, it's well clunky sending invites and viewing messages IMO, on the original Xbox every game had it's own friends list (universal list of course) but they were much quicker at navigating invites and so on.

Halo 2 online was A-MAZING! The friends list and messaging system were spot on, but using the guide on Halo 3 is just annoying.

I don't see why the guide is so slow and clunky, I just want a more basic version that's speedy.
 
Dear MS

Well ****** done... love my xbox 360!

Chuffed to bits, seems solid as a rock, wireless controllers are spot on! Elite is awesome value for money when compaired to the other options!

Craig!!
 
Dear Bill,

If you give me lots of money, I promise I won't use it to buy a PS3.

Hugs and kisses,
Psyk

Someone's a bit late to the 360-bashing bandwagon, but I see you've given it a go anyway :rolleyes:

My XBox Live service has always been great, and £40 a year is peanuts for what you get from the service. Christ, that's less than it costs to go to the cinema 6 times in a year, and the entertainment value from Live is far greater. I wish people would just stop whining about the XBox and Live now, there's nothing wrong with either. If you want a free, crappy online service, get a sodding PS3 instead!

Haha. Irrationality at its finest.

Indeed, I think it will get even better if he's good enough to explain in detail about 'sonys crappy online service' which he seems to know so much about. I presume he owns a PS3 and has first hand experience? I'm genuinely intrigued to hear how the 'far greater entertainment value' of XBL makes the Sony free offering such a pile of steaming crap.
 
Dear Billy,

Pleased with the console and the games, even your repair process seems good, but ffs, can you organise it with your repair centre and courier so it doesn't take longer to deliver the parcel than it does to repair it?
 
I have had 1 xbox break on me(bit anoying as it was only 2 weeks old), apart from that had the same one for a year and a half now. SOme great games have been released for the 360 and apart from that month over christmas when it was a bit dodgy i have never ever had any other problems.

See people whinge that is is expensive, but i dont think it is, when you compare it to something like WoW where you have one game to play and its about 9 quid a month, on the 360 i pay 5.99 a month and get to play a multitude of games.
