Are You Gonna Choose Silver or Gold

Detox · 16-07-2005, 08:13 AM

Whats its going to be? The paid memership option with more features, or just going to stick with the free option?

I have a current Xbox Live subscription, so from what I have read, I should get moved automatically over to the Gold option.

well wat im ganna do and wat the best idea is try out silver for a while and then see if there is a reason for gold

Unless their is a big diffrence between silver and gold, I think im just gonna go with silver.

I have a current Xbox Live subscription, so AFAIK I will go straight to Gold

well i believe they mentioned that silver members will be able to play on weekends so i see no need to buy gold. i dont really want to do video chat casue watchin an ugly *** dude kill you in halo tand taugnht you by monnin you or stickin his dick up to the damn cam to say SUCK IT thats not really sumfin i want to expierience.

and if there are free weekends tahts the only time i play xbox live now so

Video Chat? Had no idea that was going to be available.

Quite cool, but whether I will use it or not is another matter...

I voted for the Gold option, as I want to be able to access Live at anytime during the week. However having said that at the moment I'm going through a bit of a slump with Live. It's getting to the point where it's just the same old, same old day in day out. For me Live as become a little stale & stagnent. I'm finding I'm spending more time now replaying through the single player part of games again, and enjoying that far more. Afterall you can only take so much spawn camping (Conker) and verbal ****e (Halo 2) for so long then things start getting tedious. I'll see how things pan out over the coming months before I make a final descission, but for the moment I'll pay for the Gold service and hope the new games may inject some new life into Live for me.

yea and silver lets u talk to one person at a time wenever u want

I chose silver. Maybe partly from the fact that I currently don't have live so I don't really know what it's like. If it's free on the weekends thats even more motivation to stick with silver, singleplayer weekdays, multiplayer weekends.

I might subscribe every 3rd month or over long holidays to catch up with the "premium content".

I really don't know, I mean on the one hand I want the features of Gold, and on the other I don't want to pay for it. But in the end I'll probly go for Gold. This is why I really appreciate Nintendo's move of making online free.

bennyboo03 · 22-07-2005, 02:59 PM

if i had time to play it most of the day, then i would go fr gold

I must admit I was under the impression that with the Silver option you were able to play on-line at weekends, but I was just reading an article on Xbox.com entitled 'Xbox 360: The Future of Entertainment' and reading through the section 'Xbox Live—New Levels of Service Get Everyone in the Game' it describes the differences between Silver and Gold Live subscriptions. Reading through the Silver Live option it doesn't mention about been able to play on-line at all, only in the premium, Gold option. Am I missing something or will you not be able to play on-line at all with the Silver option? It only mentions been able to download demos, trailers along, new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, skins, and community-created content. It mentions Live chat, sending messages using the market place to buy things but thats about it, nothing about on-line play. Can anyone enlighten me?

Here's the article I'm talking about...LINK

Gold, all the way. Xbox Live has totally revolutionized my gaming experience, and I hope that the next version will be even better.
I havent actually seen official word from Microsoft saying that Silver is free on weekends though :P

bennyboo03 · 22-07-2005, 03:19 PM

if its not goin to be weekends online, which it will, then out with silver, in with gold

citizen X · 23-07-2005, 10:15 PM

Gold all the way. I have xbox live too. I play with papasmerf all the time.

One time fee of 50.00 and the whole year is yours. That’s the cost of one game and then u can play all your Xbox live enable games u have.
