Microsoft and XBox Live Worth It?

[dibbers006]

I don't have an axe to grind, I don't have an opinion or an idea, just the facts...

... and what a bunch of fking facts XBox keeps laying down on me. Could the fking SUBSCRIPTION Service be anymore wk if they layed it down and beat one out over it.

You are useless s Microsoft. Motherfkers. Sort your life out. I'm not a hardcore gamer, I don't want to play games all fking evening and I sure as hell don't wish to waste an HOUR trying to get one bd game to work you tts.

Why do you insist on rolling out stty service after crappy update. Develop your products before you sell them you cs.

In 3years of online gaming with Playstation I have never had a problem. The odd night when the Service might go down but there is the ability to comment on this and find out why the fk it isn't working... not with XBox... no way of reporting issues and because they couldn't be fked to put a web browser on the stty grey box you cant even find out what is going on.

So I have to load up my PC to find out if it is just me having trouble but fking VISTA takes 10 ing minutes to load so that is another waste of time just to get on the Internet to find out that Microsoft can't even be bothered to tell me if their Service is Online. I could use the Mac which would Load instantly but the s at 'soft don't think it is a good idea to make their Services cross platform you arrogant ps.

PLAYSTATION fking TWO ran more reliably Online than your next gen st.

I have a normal connection, The Internet works, the Phone works, the Playstation works, fk it, my fg MOBILE PHONE fg works but not the one connection I am ACTUALLY FG PAYING FOR you nobbers.

Some people might say that it was because Street Fighter was released and everyone tried to get Online... Well how about this Microst... the fking ENERGY companies actually do some research and make a note of when peak load might be and do something about it. They allow extra reserves to be run in so no one goes without the SERVICE THEY ARE fg PAYING FOR. s.

So fk you Microsoft and XBox... I am going back to wking in my loft on my decade old Mac because at least that is free and fking works.

Or I might use the Playstaion from TEN Years ago which works even better or maybe even... how about... I know... it's a crazy idea... you stop stting up the fking world with hastily developed wk and sort XBox Live out so I can just have one bd RACE.

After 4+ years of Xbox Live, I think it's pretty much spot on

In fact, no problems at all last night, Live was working perfectly

Not one to hold a a grudge but it has been festering since last night and the usual 'Right Foot' resolution on the drive to work was thwarted by the presence of a 'Meat Wagon' in the rear view mirror which left a lot of tension building up inside!!

[WildCards]

Awesome and accurate.

In the interests of Accuracy I would like to add that XBox Live is generally pretty good and fairly reliable and when it is working is a lot of fun.

Somehow that dilutes the Original Post though

[LukeBird]

Yeah you did seem to have an especially st night with XBL last night...
When it's fked, it tends to be properly fked!

[dibbers006]

Cheers for Inviting and waiting for me though. I just got fed up and went to Bed in the end.

[LukeBird]

No problem chap!
I'm hoping it's working better this evening!

What a load of bks.
For a start, if your computer is taking 10 minutes to load up vista, try maintaining it properly or consider the fact that your pc is a slow one. And before you say Macs never have any problems take your finger out your arse and grow up. Also the comment about PS2 online is complete and utter horse st too.
Thats my rant, now I feel better too.

I've never had a problem, always people playing, always fast.

I don't actually have Vista at home so that nulls that point. But XP is painfully slow to Open and Shut Down which is something Microsoft were supposed to address which they haven't by all accounts on comparable machines without Windows.

I have had Macs for 5years and apart from the odd User dying have had no problems on the scale that Windows creates. And I am fully computer, internal/ external literate. Also... before you rave back I have Pcs with Vista AND Pcs with XP AND Macs of all generations that I use regularly plus back to back PSIII/ PSII AND XBox so I think I am fairly qualified to talk out of my aRSe

And PS2... this post was a Rant so expect exaggeration for dramatic effect

It's my Rant... and I will throw my Toys out if I want to. I don't need logic and reason... imagine I'm a woman!

Not you though Luke!

For PC - just use standby, I find that works to speed things up, although also, at a guess, somewhere around once in a dozen times it won't wake up properly - so make sure any work you're doing is already saved...

Use this to good effect on both mine and SWMBO's laptops.

As for Live - I think most of the time I have trouble it's a Homehub reboot (NAT closed) - was it Forza you were having trouble with?

Know the frustratin when you're trying to get on with some friends! Generally reliable though imho
