Nice to see I am in a small percentage of CoD4 players!

I've only ever done the training mission in CoD4 yet have played it for over 2 days total play time.

It's worth flying though on recruit, definately a good storyline and some great cut scenes. Infact some of the best I've seen in a game.

It's worth going through just for All ghillied up, one of the best missions I've played on any game ever.

Agreed, you are really missing out if you haven't played that mission. Purely awesome.

If you take into account those free trials (which unless I am mistaken all create a new account and cannot be added to existing gamertags), I doubt it.

Wrong. 48 hour, 1 month trials can be added on to a normal silver gamertag.

Although no-one knows to be honest. I suspect those that create multiple accounts on either system are the hardcore/small minority. The figures are more likely to be skewed by xbox 1 accounts, PSP accounts, Windows Xbox Live accounts etc, much more imo.

A PSN account is a PSN account (PSP, PS3). Just as a Live subscription is. (PC, 360) Both can be created on a pc and used on 2 systems.

But in turn a hell of a lot of PC owners have Live accounts, this being because the PC releases of GTAIV and Gears of War forced people to create a live account even if they played offline.

Both figures are probably well off the 'true' number of people that use the service as intended.

Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live are 2 different things.

The ps3 coming with wireless internet built in must make a big difference too.

My xbox is never on live because i wont pay for an adapter, and because i cant be assed to plug it in the router down stairs either.

Not sure on that. The subscription is the same. A gold Live account on the Xbox is a gold account on PC. I don't need to pay another £40. So I would assume the same for silver accounts on Games for Windows Live.
