superintendent Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Am i the only one that thinks Xbox live is super pricey? for a full year of playing online $60!! that is $6.30 dollars per day! Pc players get to play online for free most of the time, and even playstation has cheaper ranging in at $49.99 per year ( sorry to bring playstation into this). Don't you think that companies are becoming a little greedy with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckoningZebra1 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Um your math is a little off XBL costs about 16 cents a day (0.16 x 365 = 58.4) I personally don't think it's that bad of a price. Also PSN is not as good as XBL, I have friends who had PS3's and hated PSN...of course that was back when PSN got hacked, but nonetheless I'm sticking with Xbox. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 It costs more per yer for a Runescape Membership. And you would use that far less than you would an Xbox live account. And it reasonable. We should technically be paying more! Due to inflation $60 a year in 2005 (When Xbox 360 first came out) would be equivalent to $71.94 today. And on top of that Xbox live is far better than it was back then so you have to factor that in too, plus a few other things... And we SHOULD be paying around $85 or more per year. Microsoft isn't as coldblooded and money hungry as I thought... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

тυcкєя Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Well yes I think that xbox live is very cheap. That's why you better buy xbox live before they up the price. Wasn't xbox live more back then? (Like talking couple months ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen luckado Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think Microsoft should give everyone who buys an Xbox 1 free Xbox Live. This would get them more sells and people would be more likely to ditch PSN for Xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akali Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 they are just greedy in the first place for charging a huge price for 1 year gold membership and the playstation are going with less so they can get more fans for the playstation which is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose The Ace Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 $10 less for PSN+ isn't MS being greedy. You get what you pay for with Xbox Live I would say you get more value on PSN than on Xbox live 1 It is cheaper all-round 2 You get tons upon tons of free games every month.

That is true but I was just saying MS isn't greedy. I mean Sony and Microsoft both sell their consoles at a loss. PSN is a very nice system hopefully Microsoft adopts it Although I was told it was only one free game a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft isn't as coldblooded and money hungry as I thought... Wrong......subscriptions used to be less than $50.00 back then and with MS making 46 Million dollars every single year off XBL and the operating expenses being a small fraction of that number, they could reduce the amount, especially considering they raised prices at a time when people and the economy where struggling. Sony offered there service for free for a very long time and as far as service, I see no real change in XBL service in the longest time.

Azaxx Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I might just come in and say Microsoft is very greedy, not in all countries is XBL 12 months $50-60. In Australia it's a minimum of $85. There is absolutely no need for that massive jump in price whatsoever, sure currency isn't the same, but it's never so different that it goes up by $25 at least.

ShockGazm Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well a company needs to make money, and besides £35-40 a year is super cheap for Xbox Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbrabbit Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Live is actually pretty cheap as many people here have said. So they are actually giving people some fair prices here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
