last 10 comments: | djdidge | (02:40 PM CEST - Sep,13 2005 ) | Paying for non MMO games is surely a con. With MMO games you can justify paying to play because the servers, infrastructure, maintenance and bandwidth cost money. I guess there will be some sort of infrastructure involved with aspects of XBOX live but MS should lay that on for free if they want this device to beat the PS3.
You pay enough for these console games, only suckers will pay for this online gaming!
I wonder if XBOXconnect will work with the 360.
Still, as ever I am PC to the core! |
