Please, explain one reason why IT SHOULD cost money.

[/quote]I don't think it should require an annual fee, so me trying to come up with a reason why it should would be a waste of my time and your own.

[quote user="Goku1552"]

if you dont like to pay to play online than DONT, go back to a silver and stop complaining about it. because microsoft is NEVER going to make it free no matter how many posts you make.

[/quote]To be fair though when Microsoft tried to charge people for online play on the PC via Games for Windows LIVE, the community there told them to go do one.

Microsoft dropped the fee and so on LIVE compatible PC games you can play online no matter your membership level.

So while it is unlikely that they'll give up the Gold fee, it isn't an impossibility. Just highly improbable.

You can find plenty of reference material online comparing XBL to a free service such as PSN. PSN also has a paid service (PSN +) that's more like XBL Gold. There are various comparisons from basic features, to bandwidth, to multimedia applications and in
all cases the paid services are clearly superior. I use many of the Gold features including watching videos, multiplayer with friends, etc so to me it's worth it. And to answer your other question, no I am not XBL Staff and my views and opinions in no way
represent Microsoft or the XBL enforcement team. I'm just a guy giving an opinion.

Nah... They banned me for a while. I made a more difficult to understand post and they only locked it. They assumed it would make me feel dumb?

This time I had a video and they had no reason to ban me in the first place. I was talking about video games in a off topic section and the topics were about anticipated games. OR someone looking for a better game.

I'm not sure what quality, you are reffering too. People glitch all the time. Even when you report glitching they do not even do anything about it. You actually have to go to developers and complain to them. SOOOoo

Could you name one specific service that is ultimate?

Nobody of the proper age range regardless of game is acting like babies. We're only being adults, and if the way we act around 1 another with kids constantly in our business isn't acceptable to them, then it's obviously not suited
for them to begin with. You say there's no rules set regarding age age, so why do the console have parental controls, genius? Maybe insulting them isn't right. And no, I don't think someone deserves to be called an idiot if they see fit this entire matter
that the parents are irresponsible because it's the truth whether anyone likes to admit it or not. I've expressed that numrous times and with multiple examples. As for games becoming "more real", I never based this as a graphics thing, it's much more than
that as generations have shown in technology, game play and functionality. I don't see where my thinking should be changed at all simply because they weren' born in my generation, and I never implied that excluding a toy from a kid of inapropriate age makes
them feel stupid because that's true at all; They simply wouldn't understand until they're old enough or were taught at the appropriate age. Think of it this way; How many times haver you been in a store and saw that parent with a baby in the carrage, and
suddenly the kid sees something they want and know absolutely nothing about it, so they cry because they didn't get it or it was taken away? You think the esrb, mpaa, or even Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo hasn't already thought of and considered all this we're
talking about right now so their guidelines coud be abused?? if you still can't accept that, there's just no teaching you anything, so you can make all the excuses you want and it's really not going to make the difference whatsoever.

[/quote]I've been saying parents make the rules for what their kids see and play. Parental controls are for the parents you box of rocks. Make sense? No, game companies haven't thought of taking away M rated games from kids because they would be shooting
themselves in the foot in terms of sales. The ESRB is only there to alert parents what's contained in the game. They are not there to tell parents what they can and can't buy for their kid. If you can't accept that parents make the rules to what content their
child is exposed to in the privacy of their own home, then go move to a fascist country.

[/quote]

I never implied anything about them taking esrb away, and you call me a box of rocks??

[/quote]What are you even talking about? where did I say you implied anything about them taking esrb away? Don't talk about a peaceful and respectful experience when more adults make trouble than kids on the service. I'm not the one that needs to get over
myself. I'm not the one making any demands that revolve around my opinion.

Yes, you do need to get overt yourself. parents may make the rules for
their kids, but they didn't make the rules for Xbox Live, or any social network thatexists ojn the internet. Get it through your thick head! You know full
well the reason why adults are making trouble for kids which is the very
same reason I've been explaining all along, they are unsuited for the content regardless of the developers
or the community, so I'll talk about a peaceful and respectful community everyone knows deserves to be and won't say it. Nothing is going to change the truth of the matter of thatm, like it or not, so get used to it.

[/quote]Neither do you make the rules for xbox live. Nor are you a judge on anyones parents. Once again, there are no rules saying kids can't play. No matter how much you regurgitate the same thing over and over again, i'll still be right, and you'll still
be wrong. Like it or not, get used to the fact you have to play with kids.
