    xbox live.. wtf?

    ok..im not an active gamer but decided to buy one of those xboxes just for the fuck of it..

    Hooked it up to my network (my last game computer was a sega genesis so you can imagine the impact ;) and tried to setup
    xbox live..

    WTF... a game console asking me for my creditcard with the notice
    "auto-renewed if you dont cancel within 2 months.."

    Hey.. im a noob at games but this blows me away..hahaha

        A lot of online game services charge now.. look at any of the massively multiplayer RPGs. It's not a new concept.

                              Yeah, I hate businesses that rely on auto rebilling to make money. Oh wait?:-)

                                Financial Times has recently stated that the new Sony PS3 system could be released in the year 2005. With the development of the PS3 heart, codenamed "CELL" using grid technology, the system will most likely depend on the arrival of such breakthrough technology.

                                    Unreal Championship is a lot of fun online. So is Wolfenstein. Wolfenstein online takes a little more patience and precision, but lots of fun all around.
