Live is like Apple - premium price for more polish but no additional content.

I didn't realize "polish" could mean 'getting called a faggot by 13 year olds'. I'll have to correct my dictionary.

Yeah that happens quite a lot, lol. They auto-renewed my membership without me asking, I don't even have a working XBOX; so I charged them back on my credit card, and disputed the transaction with MasterCard. This gave me just enough time to get my cars in Forza 3 before they downgraded me.

I miss playing Dreamcast online for free.

Yeah, 4 player matches with 3 other Broadband Adapter owners in Quake or even Outtrigger were really fun.  I still surf the internet with that Broadband Adapter sometimes, just for the LOLs.

I'm 33, beeyotch!  Get it right.

I was referring to your mental age, not your chronological age.

I only owned the Netlink for a day or two and then returned it to the store.  It was dial-up only and it was really a P.O.S.

I like how they are charging $10 extra for 'added features'.  Why aren't their tiers like there is with everything else?  I could give a shit less about kinect and ESPN sports shit.  Im not buying that worthless thing and neither is anyone else.  The thing is going to fail harder than the Sega Activator.

Im with you guys.  Im gonna find me some Quake games online with the dreamcast and play those for free.  Hell, even Sony lets you play multiplayer online without charging you like MS.  But by the great graces of Gates, they send out an email to allow you to add 12 months now for $40 before the price hike....

I wish I had a land line so that I could play some Saturn Virtul-On Netlink Edition with someone.

...but $10 isn't bad I guess, though now I do play PS3 more because of recent Microsoft garbage... and last gen I preferred the xbox to PS2.

I did the memory card save hack on PSO and played through the entire thing with 3 other dudes all with the broadband adapter.  It didn't take tremendously long as it only had 4 levels.  Once we beat it, I never bothered to even turn the game on again.  Thing is a snore-fest.  It's also an insult to Phantasy Star.
