well, I hope they don’t charge more
they are already charging alot for something that is supposed to be free
I mean that I’m not from the us nor the UK and I don’t have netflix(which is available on the other console ) or last.fm and I dont even have my native language available or my country registered and I live in kuwait so if I want to sign up for Live i have to enter a fake address because ( live is not available in some – most – regions
so what about an enternet explorer comming for live gold subscribers ?? they created the name explorer and they are the only console without one !!!!!!!

they have already decided this. M$ just havent told you yet. they want to make more money off you for their shitty live experience which is very unorganized in my opinion.
my buddy always tries to show me something on the XBL and can never find it

PSN is awesome and its free and pretty much has everything the xbl has but way more organized.

quote from Jeremy:Who would be stupid enough to pay for their internet connection twice anyway? its most likely their parents are paying for it.

and I also find that on live there are bunch of kids.

Anyone with “professional” credentials can make opinions, but when the opinions are simply stated and without any actual explanation behind the “professional” opinions themselves, they are rendered hollow and unsubstantiated and basically without merit. Prachter needs to have some substance behind his opinions. All professional opinions that are noteworthy should back up their opinions with something substantive just like any well written paper at the college level…

Xbox LIVE is a pile of overrated garbage. Wiiconnect 24 is a better service with more good games and less lag!

As a non-US XBL gold member, I’m already upset that all TV and movie purchases, Last.fm, and Netflix are not available to me, even some game add-ons are region locked (COD5 map packs, Duke3D, etc.) and can’t be purchased or downloaded. Raising XBL prices would be the last straw, for the annual subscription I can re-buy MW2 and RB2 and go with the free, not-too-bad PS3 online services.

Your opinion of him is almost fanboyish!

He is NOT valuable, nobody buys stuff based on what he so ocalled predicts, nor does the market change according to misstated ramblings. If they did there would be SOOO many companies going under…

I seriously doubt xbox live will increase the price of gold. But wouldn’t be surprised if they release a higher tier that has like 2 more features than gold for more $$.
