Dear Excremento: Don't Quit Yet!
water lymon | 1:22 PM on 04.06.2008 31 comments


Excremento,

You have every right to be mad. Hell, I actually agree completely with you. If we're paying up the ass for service, why the fuck are we getting such shitty service? The only difference between PSN & Xbox Live is the amount of registered users, and I'm pretty sure that when XBL had as many users as PSN does that it wasn't free.

Microsoft, I'm fucking sick of attempting to defend you. I defended Nintendo until it took an army of Smash addicts to make you realize that your Wi-Fi is complete shit, and that you aren't doing anything about it. I defended Sony until they took the PS3 marketing & development to the level of a pure joke until it became serious issue of discussion amongst games, but even then, they took their shit to the next level. Sony's been doing phenomenally lately, and if it weren't for the price point, I'd probably have a PS3 about now. But what the hell have you done? You got out to the gate early, but it seems like you guys haven't stopped celebrating to focus on your console.

Just because you were in the lead doesn't mean you're staying there forever. It seems like you're not even working to perpetuate the Xbox 360 as the best thing in the console market. You can't just market the Xbox and lower its price to please its users. What happens to those of us that knew what we were getting into and bought the console back when it was 400 dollars? Those of us who started out by buying fucking Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero & PGR3? Those of us who have sat through countless red rings, hoping that you'd do something about it instead of just giving us a new one to red ring 3 weeks later? (still no red ring here, but with an 80% failure rate, its only a matter of time now, I guess.) Those of us who are willing to pay 50 dollars a year for lackluster service with periodical updates stretched over seasons, just to fix bugs that can be fixed easily when we can move to what is most likely a better service for free? You keep focusing on getting new gamers, but you continue to forget that you have a market of 10 million gamers that you've already convinced, and you're doing nothing to keep. Its like the Xbox 360 was just one giant cash grab bait & switch attempt.

The title may seem a bit misleading, but I'm going to get way less serious here and tell you why Excremento should not quit Xbox Live just yet. I definitely think you should get a PS3 and have fun with other people on PSN, by all means. As a matter of fact, were it not for this reason, I'd probably just stick to single player games as well, aside from the occasional game on FNF. (I've already bought the year, can't have a refund. Why waste it?) However, you need to hold on until the summer. Why the hell would you do that, you ask?





Castle fucking Crashers.

hmm, a compelling argument, though I guess when that comes out he can buy a 1 month subscription, or play on somebody else's account.

It's true, this is actually the only compelling argument I could make for getting a 360...

And Seth, if you think you can play anything like this on NG, you are sooooorely mistaken. I've had to have it taunt me at PAX for two years now, and it's easily better than just about ever disc based release on the system, let alone arcade.

Lemon, great article and solid points as a experienced gamer. but sometimes you just need to let go and move on. ebay is getting mad stacked of xboxes and Gamespot is selling refurbished 360 like crazy. Sell it (while some people still buying) and get on the MGS4 bandwagon while you can. I would honestly like to see your LBP character/world and see you breakdance @ home while were planning our strag on the next battle in warhawk.

Just a solution ^^; and since Excremento has put up with all the poop MS has thrown you guys, no point in telling him to enjoy a console you no longer enjoy.

@Seth

I'd rather deal with Xbox's somewhat annoying service than go to that penis joke and Narutard ridden cesspool.

Seriously, that website is filled with more idiots than any other website I have gone on.

@Sharpless

HAHA!! I BEAT YOU TO THE PUNCH!

Wait......... how is paying $4.17 a month for Live paying out the ass? Last time I checked, cable TV was $50+ a month and far less entertaining.

Protip: Excremento already has a PS3; I friended him a long time ago.

Also, you make a lot of great points. Nicely done, lemon. Finally, I keep hearing about Dan Paladin and Castle Crashers, but I’ve never played it or really even read up on it much. What’s all the hubbub about? (I’m not asking to be an asshole — I legitimately would like to know what everyone’s talking about, because I don’t have a 360 and won’t be able to play it myself.)
