Unrelated, but I learned today for the first time while researching a "box" to hook up to a tv-only setup that you have to pay for Xbox gold in order to use Netflix, etc? Wtf is that?
I'd gladly never buy anything from Microsoft ever again |

This is complete bullshit. It's not up to Microsoft to begin with and these same rumors were going around the PS4 a few months ago and were quickly shut down by Sony.

So basically your paying for your internet connection, your xbox subscription, and then your Netflix subscription? You dont see a problem here?
Sony doesn't charge you to access their network.

Some like one, some like the other. Xbox live is more reliable imo. Also if PS owners want the same things that xbox has, well most of it, they have to pay 50 dollars a year for playstation plus. So I dont see the big deal.
On the topic of netflix only boxes, my Roku HD I have in my bedroom works great Last edited by silver5liter; 02-15-2013 at 12:02 AM.. |

Thats what I meant to say, not 50 a month, a year. So its about the same as xbox live.

PS+ is a better deal than Live IMO.

I just think it's stupid how you have to pay for the Live service just to use Netflix. It's one thing to pay to play games online, even though PS3 is free and just as good no matter what they say, coming from someone who owns both consoles and plays both equally.
But the way they're going with gaming, paired with me getting older and caring about gaming less and less all the time, I just may not get the new consoles. Especially considering most of the newer games suck complete donkey dick anyway. |
