Really pleased the games with gold is continuing, makes me very pleased indeed I renewed my sub, just wish MS would allow HDD upgrades like Sony do, I have the largest available capacity 320GB console but even so with all my disc games and now the games with gold I'm constantly having to delete stuff to make room as new games arrive, often before I had chance to actually play it too

Still good work Microsoft, keep it up.

Same problem here. I just add the newer GFG (those i'm interested in) to my download list so I can get them when I want them. I too have the 320Gb HDD and i'm toiling for space.

Don't know why people would restrict themselves personally, the companies don't care, so why be overly loyal, only that person loses out IMO.
I have always thought that way in the past but this generation I only bought one system and it has been the one of the best generations of gaming I have experienced. Once the buzz of exclusives on the system you don't own dies down there are very few you actually care you have missed.

Personally not had a problem with 2D. I actually have on my 360 friend list

I have noticed a lot of hostility on this forum lately which was one of the reasons I stopped posting but hey I don't mind either of you guys

Try picking up an Xbox 360 at some point and playing the Gears of War trilogy (not judgement!).

They are good fun!

It's nothing to do with being 'loyal' m8. It's the games that he likes and it so happens that the one's he does like the most are on the 360. He just likes games/gaming in general but don't we all.

Have you been drinking? because this is really off topic, especially after 2d just said he was getting a ps4 in the future.
Unfortunately I wasn't. Maybe thats the problem? The Part Irish blood in me raging away at night!

I'm sure lots of gamers would like the best of both worlds when it comes to console gaming but it's all down to being able to afford to run both machines. Owning both next gen consoles is costing more with both now needing a subscription for on line play. As if gaming isn't expensive enough. The one thing PSN had over XBL was being able to game on line without needing a sub and now that's gone. Gamer's are being squeezed for as much as the companies can get from us. Do the benefits outweigh the cost ?.

If your getting free games (no matter how old) then I think it does justify a sub cost. Whereas before there was little return on your investment now you get something you can use and enjoy back.

It's just a forum mate. I'm also a member of Gaf and i often get destroyed on there....even by mods, but it doesn't bother me. There's no need to get worked up about these things. Just ignore 2ds posts and move on.

Yeah I get that m8 but it's games that are so old, most long term 360 owners already own/owned them so for me it isn't worth it, unfortunately. for me, GFG is aimed at newer subscribers.

I suppose GFG and Psn+ both have their good points. GFG , we get to keep the games even without going gold again and Psn+ = better games but needs the sub. It's all down to preference

I am sure I would enjoy them if I played them but I would put them in the 'dont care after the hype died down' category.

The games I have felt I have missed out on on 360 are continuing the Fable and Halo series, Alan Wake and Kameo (Which I guess I was alone in liking the look of as the series got dumbed fast).

Trouble is I have a list of 'to play' games that I will likely not be able to get through before making the move to a next generation console.

Unless Sony serious drop the ball or MS do something extremely good I will be sticking with Sony for next gen as I prefer their exclusives.

I do like some of the ideas of dedicated servers that MS are talking about though.

At the moment I am sitting on the fence with my legs dangling over into Sonys side watching what happens in the first 6-12 months before making a final decision.

Makes sense. I actually can't wait till launch, just not looking forward to the paying part

I think whichever console goes with they'd be happy, and the whole dedicated servers is awesome from MS - no more laggy COD hopefully.

You can also use a USB flash drive, up to 32GB.

Also, anything previously downloaded can always be downloaded again, so if you do have to delete something to make room you haven't lost it forever.

It would have been good if MS had allowed the use of larger external HDD/USB's. 32GB is fine for Arcade games or 1 or 2 on demand games and I use one of these myself (I hate having to uninstall then reinstall games) but being able to use a 500GB or 1TB HDD would have been far better but i'm sure MS have their reasons for not allowing it.
