That's why I use the prepaid cards at the video game stand in Wal-Mart. M$ can't charge my card if I've not gotten a renewing subscription.

well.........i pretty much just dont like xbox period. lol no offense. my boyfriend has the 60gb ps3, with an upgraded 320gb hdd. i think the launch 60gb are probably the best out of all the different ps3...and not just because it has full backwards compatability....its just overall more amazing! =] the browser does kinda have a few drawbacks but as far as online play goes....its not too shabby. and.....it just looks way better!!! lol

@ckashaan@xanga - regardless of if you actually said that, high five. :D

I have never played on Xbox live, the reason being, I do not like anything you have to pay for monthly or yearly, such as games.It really adds up, if you think about it. For example, WoW, it started off that you pay 15$ a month, think about how much money it really adds up to. Personally, I rather use that money toward something else.
I really love systems that offer free wi-fi play such as Nintendo.
I am a huge fan of Nintendo. Although a lot of their games are aimed for party games or kids, I sitll like them a lot. There are some pretty good action, or FPS games for Nintendo.
I am also a fan of Sony. PS2, in my opinion had the best games. Clock Tower 3 was the last game I bought for PS2 (This was a few years back...right now my PS2 is currently broken thanks to my dog...lol).

I am gonna be honest, Microsoft, I am not crazy about. I do have an Xbox and I do run on Windows Vista and thats as far as I go with Microsoft products.
Sony and Nintendo are amazing in my opinion, Microsoft on the other hand, it is a good company but their products tend to be just a bit below Sony and Nintendo.

This is kind of off topic from your post but what do you like more?
Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft?

@ckashaan@xanga - I believe it. Yeah, I'm going to make sure that they don't renew my subscription without my permission. I hate the automatic renewel thing because I have a debit card, and I only had like 10 bucks in my account at the time...and not only did my car insurance get charged on my debit card, but so did another month of xbox live. In the end, I originally was supposed to pay 7.99 for another month, but since my account was in the negatives my bank charged an extra 30 dollars. And then my car insurance charged 128 dollars, and then an extra 30 for still in the negatives. So I had to pay an extra 60 bucks for not having the money in my account. Totally my fault, but it's fucked up that they don't have an option (I think) to have my permission to charge a certain amount of money from my debit card.
@canicus@xanga - That's smart, but when I got a debit card I just lost interest in buying the prepaid. I figured it was much more convient, which it was, but it was a lot less convient to cancel my gold membership. If I decide to get gold membership in the future, I'll definitely start doing that again :)

@The_James_Blog@xanga - GTA IV was loads of fun until some kid with a bazooka kills you. In free mode, I would usually just drive around, obey traffic signs, or walk around the city as a pedestrian. Kids sure did ruin that game...that's why I never play it anymore.

@just_let_me_scream@xanga - PS3 is an amazing system, it just depends on what you want a console to do. I just didn't like using a bluetooth headset for online game play. You still get online, but you don't get online quality that Xbox 360 offers. Of course, the best things in life aren't always cheap. I liked how the PS3 is basically another computer, so I think that every console has it's ups and downs. So I don't blame you.

@musical235@xanga - Nothing wrong with not playing Live. I'd much rather be a noob that someone who was depended on video games.

@DREY_FU@xanga - Lol. I'm not a fan of Halo, but Halo 2 was fun with friends. I was at a friend's house and we went on Halo 3 servers and trash talked the whole time. People take Halo way too seriously. Since being good at Halo isn't really something you can put on a job application, there ain't nothing to trash talk about!

@AjikanPanda@xanga - I don't blame you. 50 bucks for a year subscription doesn't seem like much, but that's another video game almost. That's almost half my car insurance. It definitely adds up. I've never played WoW, and I'm sure it's an amazing game, you can leave me out of that. There's a lot of stuff you gotta pay for, like Rock Band for instance..you gotta pay a large sum of money for the instruments, you gotta buy the game, gotta have Xbox Live, and eventually...people are gonna be like "Don't have DLC? GTFO", so you start buying songs to play to, and before you know it...you got 80 downloaded songs, which is like...X amount of money. I mean, don't get me wrong...Xbox Live is great...but when you look at it in a different perspective, you can definitely sit back and think...damn, I've played xbox for 8 years and could of saved 400+ dollars on something else.

As for as your question goes, I don't have a preference to be honest. I have an Xbox because it's more of what I want in a console, but I certainly wouldn't mind owning a PS3 again or a Wii. My sister has a Wii and I still havent' gotten the chance to play it. I like all systems equally the same, it's just that Xbox has more stuff that I like...make sense?

@KliffyTaicho@xanga - Yeah, at LEAST mute their microphones for being underage. I think mature video games are a lot like porn. It just doesn't matter whether it's legal or not, if you have parents who will let you play that kind of stuff, then playing mature video games is easy as 1 2 3. At least mute the mics so I won't have to listen to their high pitch voices. A couple months ago I was playing GTA IV online and an 8 year old was playing....8 freakin' years old! I mean, seriously?

I completely agree with your opinion of the community. COD 5 is even worse. I've had to mute and ignore countless people on that game alone, because I'll ask one question and get a barrage of either swears or pick-up lines.

One thing I hate is the controller modifiers. You can tell on COD who is using one and quite frankly, a lot of people are now a days. As for people talking, I don't even put in my mic unless im talking to a friend or something.

@brandon32490@xanga - for sure. I have met a couple people like that. I've actually been dumped for a girl on WoW   \x
Like I said, I have fun and that's all that really matters.

I'd rather play a MMORPG and play the free consoles online.. its not like the gold membership actually goes toward helping improve the games I play.. so whats the point of PAYING for it?

I agree with the cussing thing as well. My brother is almost 15, which I know isn't a little kid, but it's still annoying when my mom leaves and he goes downstairs, turns on the Xbox 360, signs onto Live, and starts screaming "IN MY ASS!" and "SUCK MY COCK!" and crap like that. All of his friends on there act like that, too.. Which is why I don't play on live.
