That's because all you do is play NCAA/Madden and CoD.

Like most people

I only bought Crackdown to get the beta code for another game, I forget which. Fun game.

It was Halo 3, which coincidentally will be another free game withn this program. Hooray old ass games for free!

So when Microsoft announced this program they said and I quote "Our members have made XBOX Live community what it is today." What they really meant was we're going to reward our members who don't buy any games, and not give games away to our members that have bought games for our system and supported us all these years. Suck my dick Microsoft.

untrue, however, i would imagine i (and derrville for that matter) make up the larger portion of "gamers" who dont play every game under the sun... so really, you are the 1%

Doubtful. Maybe on this site which revolves around Virtual SPORTS. But there's a reason why when this program was announced social media and game sites erupted with people talking about how laughable and old the games were. Then it got even worse when everyone relaized that AC2 and Halo 3 were apparently the "heavy hitters" and not just the first two games of the program.

my point still stands, about 90% of people with an xbox dont care or even know about the program...


as for the ps3, how many games do you guys get each year for your subscription? and what else is included in that sub?

[Buzzman]

DOnt click unless you want to jizzzzzzz. Its not including the discounts you get as well.

I have no clue but it's a ton. I would bet Handle actually keeps a journal of every game that has ever been released.:milo:

Besides the "free" games you also get a ton of discounts (they recently knocked off a few bucks on each of the pre-order "Play" promotion titles like Stealth Inc and Duck Tales, cloud saves (I believe it;s 1GB now compared to 512MB on Xbox), automatic updates and downloads of free games like DCUO and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few perks.

only one of those i'd even consider playing is the walking dead game... none of the others look the least bit interesting to me...

You're nuts. Buzz's link isn't working for me so I'm not sure if it's the same, but here is the wikipedia list since the inception of PS+:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Game_Collection

NINETY NINE GAMES given away for free and you're interested in one? Please GTFO dude.

[Atlas]

i dont live for games like you arcade guys... i would rather play with/against real people (and i will play any game that has a fun MP, not just COD ya bish) than waste 90 hours of my life traipsing through skyrim and slaying dragons... dont get me wrong, i know it appeals to a lot of people, but i would bet my house that more people are on my side of the spectrum, rather than being a hardcore gamer like you...

[Buzzman]

What exactly is your point?

[Atlas]

that the majority of gamers dont give a shit about this,,, thought i was pretty clear on that, guess i have to spell things out for you derps

[Buzzman]

Its laughable than because the free games Microsoft are giving away are to the people you're referring too. They are rewarding the gamers that only buy 1-2 titles a year and according to you don't give a shit and acting like they are finally giving back to the community, yet are slapping their real audience in the face by offering 7 year old games that they already own or have played or could buy for $5.
