You know how annoying it is when Xbox Live goes down? Well, imagine if the downtime lasted six years. In fact, imagine never getting Xbox Live at all. To some of you, that sounds like a blessing, but angry Xbox 360 owners in Poland aren't thankful for it. In fact, they're sick to death of Microsoft stringing them along with promises, and they want Live NAOW!
"Polish gamers have been hearing about the introduction of Xbox Live to our country for 6 years," writes Polish group WeWantLive, "ever since Peter Moore said the hope-inspiring 'Xbox Live will eventually be available in Poland.' Those were not concrete promises and we are aware of this fact, but that was definitely an indication that Microsoft is aware of the potential the Polish market has.
"Unfortunately, during those 6 long years nothing has changed. The Polish division of Microsoft continues to make hollow promises of introducing Xbox Live in our country eventually by saying 'just wait a little longer'."
WeWantLive is sick of Microsoft brushing them off with promises and statements that they are "very committed" to a market that they've managed to ignore for six years. We wish them all the best in their endeavor, too. With Xbox Live being such an integral part of the 360, it boggles the mind that MS would have the nerve to sell its system in countries that it won't support. It's like saying "We have no regard for you whatsoever, but we'll still take your money."
Well, that's pretty much Microsoft all over.

But seriously, why the hell are they still buying MS products after 6 years?? MS won't do anything for people that devoted to their brand...not when they are still making money off of these angry souls.
haha
I wish that kylamity's wrote the truth. I'm willing to pay in all of my fucking sausages.
so why NOT to be angry on MS? Show 'em Poland!
But here i always have this "that close, but still wont get it" feeling.
not really a fanboy comment, more like common sense.
The Polish are the worst.
Don't tell me they came here for the LIVE? I was pretty sure it was the whole high wages and welfare state thing!
Or have they all gone back now because our currency has crashed and all the money sent back home doesn't work out as well as it did a year ago?
Suppose that's what happens when you earn money in one country and spend it in another.
Fake email adress, fake name, fake adress...done. Look at germany, they have to make a fake account to get the good stuff in the us, austria or elswere. Its the same with the PS3 user profiles, just to mention. If you want ALL content, original, you HAVE to make a fake account. Same with Japan exclusive stuff.
And this is what is being done.
However, does this make MS alright?
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.
Sucks for them, but yeah, just go buy a PS3. Microsoft arn't ones for listening to this stuff really.
I realy dont give a fuck about M$, $ony or Nintendo! Iam a Comodore fanboy^^
If you want somthing, theres allways a way to get it.
Why it doesnt work? I made a vpn myself and it worked fine with contends like mappacks, arcade games. I dunno if this works with games on demand...but seriously...who buys games on demand? Also i dont see myself watching movies via live.
/Horrible Sarcasm
I am going to stop bitching about not getting full access to the international PS Stores.
Sucks that folks cant get DLC.
