Main thing that XBL has over PSN is the streaming apps.

Bing? :what:

League Pass (now it works finally), ESPN is the reason why my Xbox is still used. Other than that, PS+ gives me free shyt to play, and free themes to customize my UI.

What's to hate on?

Guess its time for a price increase for Live. How much extra are you willing to pay for xbox live this gen? 70?:deadrose:

Maybe they'll smarten up and make it free this gen?

Microsoft quietly cancels the Xbox Live Family Pack - Destructoid

Lock if old.

Quote:
Microsoft has decided to quietly cancel the Xbox Live Family Pack, which netted you four Xbox Live Gold accounts at the discounted price of $99.99.

The benefits for this system were tenfold, including a massive discount in price, and other helpful options like the ability to restrict child accounts, and allot a Microsoft Point allowance with the press of a button.

Rather than give users a heads up however, Microsoft has simply stopped offering the service under cover of the night, and when users woke up this morning finding that there was an error code for their renewal option, a rep informed them that it was "no longer being offered."

If you renewed already you will still have access, but if you tried to renew today, you're basically screwed. I can confirm personally that I am not given the option to renew.

With the PlayStation 4 on the horizon, and the PS3 offering free content and application access right now, this move is beyond idiotic, and will no doubt sour a ton of paying customers.

In fact, I utilize the Xbox Live Family Pack myself to net a small discount for me and my wife. Now, like many others out there, I'm considering not renewing for the first time since the launch of Xbox Live, when I purchased my very first subscription pack that came with a headset and a free copy of Moto GP.

I know I can get discounted cards for around $35 per account during the myriad of sales that Amazon, Best Buy, and Toys R' Us hold. But with all of the great things Sony is doing with PlayStation Plus, it's really, really hard to justify paying Xbox Live with each passing day.

First off, why do you keep saying you get free stuff with PS+ when you PAID for PS+ :stopitslime:

ESPN is worth it, you agree. :win:

The other apps, just cuz you don't use them don't mean others don't
I use 10apps weekly on there. And I'm really addicted to the sports picks
Nobody picks more accurately than I do bruh, you should try it.

Free Themes on xbox been a reality for longer than they have on PS3
You see, you guys can get them from PSN, or you can download custom one's
You guys been doing that for years. But in your fanboyism you forgot that the same shyt started on xbox. PS3 didn't launch with themes n shyt
You got dynamic one's and thought you ruled the world. Google dynamic xbox themes and eat if you still starving bruh bruh

Or a place to get them...
Free Xbox 360 Themes

Now can we stop talking about all the dumbshyt and get back to the games :hula:

I don't have the need for four accounts, so I don't give a fukk.

I actually just renewed my shyt with a year for 34.99 from Newegg.

Totally getting raped for that whopping price of less than 3 dollars a month :noah:Fix the links, too

edit: nm, fixed them for ya Mowgs

exactly every month or other month you can find live cards on sell for $35 or so. why pay $100 when you can pay $70?
