The problem isn't with you praising a service you love. It's more to do with where you're doing it.

XboxLive is good value for people that own an xbox 360,an Xbox one or both.

I don't own a ps3 or a ps4, and neither do a lot of people who come into the microsoft section of this forum.PSN+ is worth absolutely nothing to me as it would be useless.

So PS+ gives you better free games eh? ...great....you guys want a medal or something?

It's so nice of you all though to care that us XBL users are missing out on something we 'should' be getting, it's very touching to see.

....and to think some people say gamers are entitled fanbois.
This is what annoys me about this forum. It's impossible to say something negatibe about MS without the F word being thrown about.

Many people on here (like me) pay for both XBL and PS+ and are perfectly qualified and entitled to comment on which service they feel gives them the best value.

XBL was pioneering. It revolutionised console online gaming with Sony playing catch-up for years. But while MS have rested in their laurels, Sony have forged ahead with a subscription model that, after a slow start, now offers exceptional value. As a result, MS look out of touch and need to gain back some ground. Initiatives such as Xbox Fitness are a good start, but their paltry offerings on GFG aren't the way to do that.

Well the thread isn't just about you, there might be people like myself who are long term Gold subscribers that don't appreciate how much more they could get for their money.
For the approx. price of 4/5 brand new games you could buy the console and a years subscription, it's not very expensive at all if you are a regular gamer.
It's actually much better value to do this than it is to buy either of the new consoles.

Now you're being petty.

Keep banging that drum, it suits you.

Well maybe the F word wouldn’t be banded around so much if fans of a said console weren’t deliberately seeking out defined XBL threads to start airing grievances and generally trying to stir it up. This thread is about the discussion of the games that come with gold, it isn’t here to pick at every nuance of XBL to try and find an angle for a dig. That’s great that you have access to both, why not start up a thread in the overall gaming forum where you can discuss the merits of XBL v PS+ as opposed to coming into an XBL specific thread only? These console specific subsections to the forums are supposedly to allow people to discuss items specific to their console without getting involved in constant arguments with non-users and WUM’s.

And it’s a complete lie to say nothing negative can be said about XBL/X1/360/etc as you’ll find no end of comments from many of us across a variety of topics. If people invade an Xbox specific thread to deliberately try and stir things up, then it’s not a surprise when people call them out on it. As a non PS4 user I have no need to visit that sub forum and comment on something I have little knowledge about, it seems that consideration is beyond many PS users/fans.

A lot of us are happy with what we have but that seems to be unacceptable to some on these forums, and they’ll devote large amounts of their time telling us why we should be unhappy.

Have fun playing Resistance Trilogy online after the end of this month and Gran Turismo 5 after April. Sony close down their game servers way too quickly.. M.A.G and SOCOM another couple of Sony published games given the axe, in this sense you get what you pay for; with PS+ it's about the games, wiih XBLG it's about the service as a whole. Hell I can still play Burnout Revenge, GRID/Dirt 2, Forza 2 etc online on 360 if I choose.

So you see, both services offer their pros and cons, but bad value isn't one of them IMO.

As for the whole "fanboy" thing, can you really be surprised? You already have a popular PS+ thread in the Playstation forums, isn't that enough? why come over here into this completely irrelevnt thread and start raving about PS+ while simultaneously putting XBLG down for the "quality" (or should I say age) of the free games? They ARE different services at the end of the day.

Well said. It's starting to get a bit annoying how a lot of Xbox threads in the Xbox sub-forum go down this path. A quick jump over to the Sony sub-forum and it's like another world, everything is so peaceful and calm.

As of late there have been a number of times I was going to start a thread in this sub-forum but in the end didn't bother as I just knew it would be hijacked like this one.

I actually had to create that Xbox One community thread just so we had one place where owners and potential owners could discuss the console in peace. And that at one stage was on the verge of being hijacked because people who were getting a PS4 weren't happy they weren't allowed to compare the consoles in it and dismiss the X1 despite the fact there was like 10 other active threads doing just that at the same time

Dungeon defenders is now available. Not the sort of game I would usually play but Seeing it's free I gave it a go and it's actually pretty good.

Hitman absolution is apparently the next game available, the second game is still yet to be announced.

If the second game available isn't any good then i probably won't be renewing my gold account for another month.

I've seen it suggested on a few sites that the first Xbox One Games with Gold will be Minecraft. I think I'd cry of happiness irl! :P

Deadlight is a great game. I picked it up for £1.50 during the Steam sale, though...

If that's true that would be awesome, doubt it will be though

Downloaded this on Monday and have played through a few levels.
I think it's really good and that fact it's free is a bonus!

I am guessing that at E3 they will announce games for gold on the X1 . The first game will be ryse or dead rising, then we will get the likes of loco cycle I am trying not to buy any crap games as I expect them to be free at some point.

At least they cant fog off 5 year old games on us this time. Loco cycle will probably make more from one month of games on live than it has since launch

Nooo, only bought Dust a few weeks ago in the Easter sale and I had Saints row free on PS+. Good couple of games if you havent played them though.
