    Default Windows Live/XBOX Live

    so I finally got a Live account... just a free one right now, but I also have a coupon for a free month of paid access... and I'm only playing Viva Pinata at the moment, but eventually I'd like to get into all the racers, and maybe a few of the other genres... assuming that it doesn't become too expensive...

    anyhow, so I've got a Saitek XBOX360 rumble pad, and I'm loving the way that it's got my PC working like a 360... without any red rings of death... now if MS and friends would just stop giving the 360 priority over the PC... then I could see what's supposed to be so great about the 360 without having to actually own it... but in the meantime, at least I can see whatever they'll let me see... which doesn't look like much, since MS still prefers the 360...

    oh well, if you happen to see a dog by the name of PUPPYBONE on Live, that's me... I'll prolly be sticking my head out the window of a fast car...

    mention DP if you want me to add you on Live, so I know you're from here

    Yeah gotta miss those Avatars on the pc! [/sarcasm]

    Let's see, you can play 80% of 360 titles on pc, you can download movies on pc, you can voice chat on pc. So yeah what exactly is so "missing".

    Sorry I just had to make fun of Avatars as in this day and age it's ok to make fun of Home and Nintendo Mii's, but making fun of Avatars is like sooo taboo ya know, i'm living dangerously here!

    I've never had that impression at all. I don't know anyone who actually likes those ridiculous things. Avatars suck.

    Truth is, aside from the initial setup, I think 99% of the people gaming on the 360 have completely forgotten they have avatars on it

    Did this really need its own thread? We've got a thread stickied at the top of the forum Click me that is for your gamertags. Post in there, note that its a Windows Live account and go to town.

    Besides, Windows live is now 100% free to access, we in XBL land still have to pay for it. In regards to cost of the service, at $49.99 a year, it works out for us XBL users as $4.16 a month. Your costs are in getting games and buying DLC.

    and with that... **lockerooni**
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.
