  1. I'm glad for this article by toddhunter · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I had actually forgotten about this. I had been swept up a bit in the hype and was looking forward to getting myself a 360 when they came out.
    But no, I refuse to have to pay to make my games work at the whim of microsoft. They either work for ever or not at all in my opinion.
    So bring on the ps3 or the revolution. Hopefully they show a bit more common sense!

  2. Existing XBox Live subscription? by the_skywise · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What if I've already got an XBox live subscription? Do I have to purchase a separate "gold" one for the XBox 360, transfer the existing subscription or can I use one subscription for both?
