    Why should I pay?


    It's not that I mind paying for something I use, but I don't like paying for something I don't use. I've got a Gold account but I never do any online gaming. From what I've seen, if I'm not doing online gaming I'm paying for something I don't use. My current
    Gold membership is about to expire. Is there any reason I should renew the Gold account?

    :)

  2. Why should I buy an XB1 ?

    1. Amazon a website.

    2. You have to wait for your games to arrive in the post.

    3. you can't trade in either.

    4. You also have to pay postage on that price too.

    @ what do you class as 1st gen ?

    Waits with anticipated interest.

    For the record I don't put links up I mean majority of people on here know how to use Google don't they ?

    www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5

    Alien Isolation

    360 - £32

    X1 - £36

    Advanced Warfare

    360 - £40

    X1 - £42

    www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7

    Shadow of Mordor

    360 - 34.99

    X1 - 36.90

    Far Cry 4

    360 - 39.99

    X1 - 44.00

    Dragon Age Inquisition

    360 - 39.00

    X1 - 39.99

    Enough to suit you WILD - If you want to compare the companies that sell these items, at those prices, that's one thing. When you go to somewhere like Amazon, you know your going to get your game at a decent price.

    I have been playing games, since first Gen Wild, Probably longer than you have. If you don't like the price, you don't have to pay them

    And yes there are some out there, like Game, HMV, even Asda, that you will find a £10 to £12 difference. But they have overheads. A Store to Run, Bills to pay, Rent. Why would you pay over the odds for a game, that you can have within 1-2 days, at nearly
    the same cost as last Gen.

    If you don't want to shop around and pay a sensible price for your games, then good luck to you Wild. But go around telling people, there is this big discrepancy, when if you can actually be bothered to look, You will find them at virtually the same price.
    Brand new i hasten to add. Is just making yourself look like you want to argue for arguing sake.

  4. Why should I pay?

    Hey there, really only you can answer that questions as the worth of Xbox Live comes down to the individual, like me for example, I play games online constantly so I see huge value in it.

    Apparently there are some apps that are behind the gold membership, so I would make sure none of your favourite apps fall into that category and then if you can still do everything you want without the gold membership then I would consider dropping it.

    Actually, apps are now accessible to Silver Members, which is the default for everyone unless buy the Gold Membership. Only thing about the apps some do require you to have a subscription to their service like Netflix requires a Netflix Subscription. The
    TV apps on Xbox 360 require you to have a TV subscription with those providers to be able to use them.

    Why should I pay for Xbox Live?

    You have been no idea then

    First and forest multiplayer servera cost money and in the billions

    Ask sony how well f

    Psn usrrs free multiplayer costed to run on psn ps3

    (Billions per year in losses)

    back then serverss a couple millionm was peer to peer and no wherr as close as to what it is now you are talking about millions more users you are talking about 100s of millions of players not a couple million back in 1990

    Pleasedo your own research before you dismiss FACTS

    Data centers require constant cooling and their own power stations

    Good luck finding someone to work for free to maintain thosusands of racks
