That is why, I think why I put day dreaming in the last comment, I was kind of distracted, also by how much my xbox sucked. oh my apologies about the doing it comment on my last post I was watching how I met your mother.

That is because until you can show me I can enjoy an xbox without an acual real life quality game, and without an actual affordable real life online gaming service, that doesn't suck eggs compared to a gaming console that in comparison is like eating deviled eggs at Paula Dean's house on christmas while her and your entire family are celebrating it and doing it while everyone is having a good time in everything they do, plus having what ever super power they want, and also being the prime minister, president, king, and Cheif of an Island planet of their very own, or any of them in any combination they like in any amount or number they desire, while also being invincible, and being the most handsome or Beautiful person from their Island planet, which is also full of as many people as planet earth, and they all think you are the nicest most wonderful ruler they have ever had because you are. Or what ever the day dream spawned gibberish kind of crazy universe of a comparison you want. That is how much better a ps3 is, and also the games are better than the xbox.

I still have an xbox 360 and probably will for a long time. Most every person I know who has ever owned a ps3, ps2 , psone, wii, n64, pc, gamecube, snes, or any other non microsoft console all tell me they miss their old console, and the fun they had on it. I have never had anyone say they missed their xbox, or would even rather have one. As for people who think otherwise, I don't even know anyone from any where who actually think that xbox live is better. If I were stuck with an xbox 360 for any longer than I want to now, I would probably weld the frame to scrap about to get melted and watch it melt, and then go buy a ps3 and be the happiest man in the world. Please you really think xbox is greater. No It is not, I love xbox consoles as much as any other xbox owner out there, but I will always enjoy owning a gameboy, ps3, psone, n64, gamecube, sega dreamcast, sega saturn, pc, dos pc, trs-80, gameboy pocket, wii, ps2, snes, nes, atari, and of course, a good board game more than I ever will enjoy an xbox 360. Why? Because I have had more fun with a dos computer than a 360, and yes a 360 has more features than a dos computer does, but a dos computer does not have all of its features in the form of things you think are actually worth something. You don't need any thing an xbox has or does better, that you don't get playing on a ps3, but for me I only need a dos computer and a classic game like tanks, or doom, or anything that doesn't rhyme with hey-low. If you honestly think people by consoles for things like the spotlight or game market place, or inside xbox, or anything that has to do with anoyying crap content I would rather see never in my entire life, I recommend you go buy an mp3 player, a stereo, and make sure you are not being taught to get more stuffing than actual gaming. You kids all think the xbox is better, well every xbox I have ever bought has been an unrewarding and cruddy, make me so bored I'm going to tear my f'ing eyes out cause I can't play live again memory, and I'd rather play anything even an old slow and 8bit game of tetris rather than an xbox, but right now I can't even get rid of it cause I actually like the games I have for it and, don't have money for a ps3, but till that day comes I will always know how cruddy my xbox 360 is and how much I would rather play a game like resident evil two, on a psone,than what I have right now. What ever your opinion is, its yours to keep, I'm not putting down other xbox 360 owners, but thats just because of how much I actually hate my xbox, and how much I ould rather have a ps3, like every one else I know, who also saved up for it which makes the price irrelevant. That is just what I think. You disagree, and what about it. I still have an xbox 360 and probably will for a long time.

Why is it okay for Microsoft to charge for the use of Netflix of Last.fm, services that are not owned or controlled by Microsoft in any way, shape, or form, and the data transmitted to your xbox while using those services is not passing through microsoft servers or devices? One could argue that they programmed the application that interfaces with netflix, but in such a case it would make more sense to allow gamers to purchase this application - however, this is still unfair as netflix distributes such an application for free across all other platforms. Why is it okay for Microsoft to charge you to use your hardware, that you have already fully paid for, at all? Why is it okay for Micrsoft to charge you for essentially nothing? Most of MS live gold is advertising. The voice chat is client to client, there is no cost to Microsoft to run anything that occurs of MS live with the exception of things like 1 v 100. They are not providing any service, they are simply implementing a fee. This is akin to you buying a t-shirt, but Wal-Mart charging you a monthly fee to use both arm holes. Why don’t you try to present a good reason why it should be free?

I have a wii and my cousens have a ps3 and my little brother has a 360. I recently saw the ps3 network for myself and to tell you the truth it lokked and played exactly the same as xbox live. I did not see any diffrence. Why pay an ISP 24.99 a month then pay microsoft to play online for 50.00 a year the month to month is a rip off totaling to $96 a year and the 3 month is no better the company is forcing you to pay $50.00 a year. An for that comment that PC and xbox are Diffent they are not! I would rather have a PC that does more for free than a rip off 360. Now I do admit xbox is fun i have no problem with that but I think xbox should be free because netflix is coming to nintendo too and what I have seen only rich people can afford to pay an extra 50 a year to use a 24.99 ISP on top of that. Now I agree that may be some were behinde the scenes microsoft may be improving somthing but i dont see it. Put a ps3 and a 360 side by side and play online and they look exactly the same and work the same. (I have seen it) Now if xbox live was cheeper like 3 bucks a month than that would be ok in my book. I can tell were the money does not go there customer sevice department! Take it from me the only system you need is a Wii or a ps3 what ever tickes your peach and a pc becuse a PC can be upgraded and most games on counsels graphics are a rip off! I have seen both HD sides ps3 and 360 compared to a nice pc I can tell! Can you play ATI-infinaty on a ps3 or 360? MWF2 on ps3 and xbox does not look close to good as mwf2 on a PC playing 1080P. The only diffrence is how sharp the words on the screen are and how colorfull the backrounds are. Ok listen what ever gaming sytem you have I am not dising them at all. Now i can tell you this you can buy a computer graphics card online for $50 bucks and be able to play blu-ray and play mwf2 so its $50 Vs $300 for the same viewing pleasue. Now you might be thinking why have a wii then well to put it simply have you ever seen a nintendo product for a pc other than a wifi adaptor or som other thing. NO! I cant play super smash bros brawl on a PC (unless your a hacker with tons of time and is willing to get sued)but I can play most games that are on ps3 and 360 for PC. I have assassins creed,prototype,section 8,gears of war,mwf2,and i recently preordered assaasin creed 2. All for PC so chuck you xbox out the window and upgrade to a computer so you dont have to pay for internet multiplayer because the way I see it no matter what counsle you have you get board with online and you eventualy stop playing so why waste money paying for somthing you can get free for a wii or ps3 or PC. If i had to choose betwwen buying a PC and a xbox 360 to play games the PC wins hands down! IF I wanted a 360 experice then I would buy a xbox 360 PC controller. Its like having you cake and eating it too with out havinbg to pay cash every time you take a bite. In terms of these who is better PC, Wii, Ps3, or xbox 360 I am not here to debate that fact. If you want free online go buy a ps3, wii, or a PC. Just for kicks you can buy an ati-4350 (which i have)for at least $50 on new egg and play mwf2. To conclude Xbox live is a rip off no compare a PC and a 360 whaich one can to more and offer it for free! Yes that right a PC!I have games for winodows live and that free so whay make one pay if the consept of game to oline is the same? If you compare it like this PC,360 are both counsles microsoft offers free onine play for one but not the other seems fishy? What I mean is recently microsoft briged games for winows live and xbox live servers so that PC people can talk and chat and pay with xbox 360 people. Seams like discrmination PC"I can play with you for free and talk to you for free but you have to pay to to what I do" That seems wrong Why can I do the exact same stuff for free and people with a 360 cannot? In the debate on free internet its a rip go buy a computer it will save you fustration. Once agin I am not debateing on who has better online or wich is a better gameing system jsut tryng to save people money. ^^ I have had enough of this debate of free online and I can say I agree with the rip off people.
