LOL. 

$10 a year more....... Not too bad, but considering all the people in the world who have Live, that's a CRAP TON of more money for Mr. Gates.

It's a good thing I was planning on letting my current subscription expire anyway, lol.

here is the chart:

Current

1M Gold:  $7.99

3M Gold:  $19.99

12M Gold:  $49.99

Starting Nov 1, 2010

1M Gold:  $9.99

3M Gold:  $24.99

12M Gold:  $59.99


and no, it is not worth it. maybe if we got additional useful content over the years to justify such an increase. as it stands, there isnt, micro$oft is just all about the money.
 

Um out of one  of my payments for chicken working I could pay that.(No chicken house working is NOT worth it!)

lol My fav was my cheevos! I'm totally gonna start saying that now xp

See this is where (and probably the only real point) PS3 is better than Xbox...don't get me wrong I love..love xbox but really....take a note from sony. Free online...

Playstation Network is too small compared to xbox live and 10.00 more is no big deal IMO.
PS3 needs Halo 3!

The only thing I like about PS3 is the built in Blu-Ray DVD player.

PS3 is pretty awesome for free online Play,but I'm a Microsoft fan for the original ''Xbox'' and the ''Xbox 360''. The one thing I really really like about the 360 is the Kinect ,like the Wii but better no controller no nothing,its very accurate as well.

I still play the PS3,the only reason I have one is for what you said the different varity of games for system. Like games that are only made on that system (e.g Halo3 ,xbox 360-Killzone PS3) and plenty more.

The thing you guys are missing is that different systems are better for different games. Caleb and G. Samaritan (and MKC) seem to be shooter fans, so of course they like XBOX the best.

Correction, they should like PC best for shooters. Free multiplayer, Dedicated servers, AND more precise controls. 

Lean controls are addicting.

Well, yes. But since the discussion was between consoles, I just left it at XBOX

Dedicated servers - I've only been lagged/droped connection in a game 7 times in my three years of gaming,between the PC ,PS3 ,and 360.

Thats just one reason Dedicated Servers are better. I'll use CoD4 situations for examples.

1) Better connection
2) Custom server settings (I often play 20-30 minute FFA's in CoD4) This also includes custom map rotations.
3) Server rules (No marty or Last Stand)
4) ADMINS. If someone is hacking or breaking the server rules, you can temp/perma-ban players from servers. So therefore, theres a LOT less hackers.
5) People often play the same servers, so you get to see familiar players more often.
6) Player limits. These can often be set a LOT higher than on Xbox. Example, you can have a 50 player match in the PC version of CoD4. I still have yet to try the insanity that is a 50 player FFA on Shipment. Often times I play 15-25 player FFA's.

It doesn't matter. The Wii is better than XBox 360 and PS3 combined. Yeah, I said it. What now?

People still play Halo on computers?
