I’d much rather pay for Live and have it supported locally.

I know this topic is hella late but microsoft knows that people are sheep! We are paying in essence for microsoft to have the ability and opportunity to sell us “content” from the comforts of our own living room! I feel so violated but i cant stop paying them my 50 bucks a year!!!!SUCH IS LIFE!

Live should be free, its that simple. Microsoft does not need anymore of our money. All of you saying it shuld not be free are pothetic, reminding your mommys to pay, or using there credit cards all the time.. Microsoft and xbox live will be fine if it was free. Live has been the same price ever since its launch, all those extras they added with the 360 makes no difference to me.

Army against live fees :D….

Who can spot the guy who isn’t playing online, to much time on your hands dude…

Oh and it isn’t £40 a month, it’s £40 a year… BIG difference. I would prefer it if live were free but only if it kept the same quality as it has now. I don’t mind paying at all though.

If xbox live was free then I would go out right now and buy one. £40 a month is theft in my opinion because live offers nothing special except and IM which sucks because most games have an ingame message interface. Also, gamertags suck compared to Miis and Home avatars. Voice chat is enabled on PS3 games already and I’m certain Wii will get it soon in order to make a Wii sequel of Phoenix Ace Attorney (the one where you scream OBJECTION at your DS lol). If you need wireless adapter too then it costs a heck of a lot because £50 ain’t exactly cheap is it? Also, I you add the price of the PS3 bundle UK (PS3 60GB, two Wirelesss SIXAXIS controllers and two games) its £400. If you get all that and add the features PS3 has to a 360 like HDDVD drive and wireless adapter play and charge kits etc etc then the 360 can cost upto £126 more!!! Microsoft hear us our because you are missing out on hundreds more gamers who only shun the 360 because of live fees. I am getting a PS3 as a gift next July for good GCSE results so I can’t buy it myself but I could get a 360 and get xbox live but refuse to pay for such features as every other console features them for free. I have a Wii and its amazing. I play the 360 frequently at a friends (who refuses to pay for live) and do not deny its nice hardware (not as feature rich as PS3 which makes PS3 better) but I would love to have exclusives like gears of war and halo etc etc.

Microsoft, sort it.

Why would Microsoft make the service free when it is already so succesfull when people are paying for it?

You are correct in saying this will always be a rumour.

Xbox Live is definately better off NOT free. In fact, there would probably be even more issues if it were free.

For people who are complaining about paying monthly, they could easily just pay a flat out 50 dollars for a year. It’s not that hard folks =/
