Why do we pay For Xbox Live?

Why do we pay for Xbox Live? "Stability" "Security" "Customer care"? Hmm I wanna see everyone's thoughts. Is it really worth it?

:)

 

Why do we Pay for replacements?

Why do we the customer have to pay over $100 for Xbox to replace our faulty console? I never moved it or broke it. Their product is faulty and broken, but I have to pay for it? I already paid over $400 for the Xbox.

 

Why do we Pay for replacements?

All consoles come with a standard manufacturer's warranty of one year from purchase date.

Additionally, options are available:

• More time is added on top of that if you purchased any
  extended warranty.
• You can exchange your console if you're still within your retailer's return period.
• Some credit cards provide their own replacement warranty (which usually runs alongside the console's warranty).
• Your country's consumer laws mandates more time.

Most faults can be repaired/replaced by Microsoft for free (or even at a discount) during the standard warranty period, if the issue falls within the

warranty terms.

Once it expires, you will likely be subject to paying full price for a repair or total replacement of the console.

Get in contact with Xbox Support (phone or chat) if you need more help.

 

Considering how much money is being made from it I guess so. I don't mind.

 

We also get games with Gold and special deals.

 

To play multiplayer. To play online only games and what Grady said.

 

You probabaly answered your're own question?

If you look at PS Side. They have loads of problems. Security/ Stability wise. It's free over there. we pay. and don't get or recieve hardly any problems.

1. Playstation Plus is a paid service, not free.

2. Both Xbox and Playstation have problems with their service from time to time. One service is not more stable than the other.

 

What has Playstation's service got to do with the OP's original question? He simply asked "Why do we play for Xbox Live"

 

I'm paying for the two games I get for free every month. Before that was implemented, I was paying for multiplayer access, and use of other services (which I may or may not have been already paying for separately; LastFM BBC iPlayer and Netflix for example)

 

Because Microsoft cares about you unlike Sony, with Xbox Live, you get the best multiplayer experience, the best free games, awesome discounts on certain games every week, and much better security/stable execution than PlayStation Network.
