subscription models exist now and to me they are a great price. 40 dollars in total more over the lifetime of the "loan" and free 2 year warranty.

that's 1.67 cent per month that microsoft pockets that's nothing.

not hating on it at all....I personally don't like giving people extra money for shyt if I don't have to.

Standalone Nex Xbox plus xbox live deals >>>> subscription models where you can get fukked (Esp since online will be required to verify your shyt is paid for and allow you to play)

Not really liking the fact of turning console gaming into a cable bill esp when you already pay an ISP bill. But I do agree that MS has no choice but to do this with the subscription model.

exactly, and it's not some thing where people think they're getting over by getting an xbox for $99, not paying for live, and playing single player games with fuct up credit

there's plenty of ways to get some nice stuff in your life, while fukking up your credit, but it ain't seen as a "come up"

thing is with this....you will be fukked from playing single player also, not just online.

This makes sense with the rumors of online required to startup a game. I know if I'm MS, I damn sure aint letting no one skate on giving me my money. Your shyt bricked until you pay up nikka. :laugh:

the subscription model is probably one of the best loans to exist, hell it makes my car loan look like complete shyt :noah:. MS need to loan me some money with these percentages :jawalrus:

figures. And we both know that dummies will try and flip the subscription model on ebay/craigslist to dumb asses who will get fukked the same way.

But still, it shows that your shyt will be bricked if you don't pay and the online verification is the perfect way to do it.


Pretty smart move actually by MS with the subscription models... :ehh:

I've read that PS4 specs are stronger than XBox. At the end of the day I'll probably both but I'm pretty sick of Microsoft pimping my pockets. That's the main reason I switched from 360 to Ps3. The fukk I'm paying to play online for?The fact that they were gonna go with this always online shyt is a terrible look. Far from a fanboy btw, I own pretty much every major gaming system.

I appreciate the support :myman: but I had to laugh at the fact Dwight Howard would choose me because he was trying to save a few dollars

:obama: sounds good.. still worried about that price tho.. and games. but

the next Xbox will sport an HDMI input, to allow cable boxes to be hooked up for live TV viewing. Our sources tell us that the console will be able to provide TV listings and similar information.

:wow:

nikka....In this day & age where people are cutting the cord to their cable/satellite TV services, that feature on the next Xbox is gonna be :flabbynsick: on arrival. It sure hasn't taken off with GoogleTV.
