Is it me, or is Microsoft advertising Xbox Live Gold on the dashboard a bit too much?
I've certainly noticed a lot more people with Silver accounts lately, me included. I cancelled earlier this year for two reasons:
#1: Waiting for next gen
#2: Possibility of going to PC and PS4
Anyone else cancelled this year and if so, what are your reasons?

I moved to a different apartment where the only working phone jack, and therefore internet access, was in the kitchen and my entertainment corner was in the living room. As I have a non-Slim 360 Elite from early 2010, I don't have wireless access. I physically can't connect. I'll re-up after moving (again), and buying the Durango/720 and Destiny.

3 RepliesSometimes they offer limited time deals on gold subs, the most recent I can remember I think was 39.99 for a year. If they never advertised it how would you know about it?

5 RepliesMeh. I don't find it too bad. Isn't it only $20 for 3 months? I'll probably be sticking with those until the next gen xbox comes out. I can imagine I'd be pretty bored playing offline.

Edited by Symmetry: 4/24/2013 3:41:13 AMI didn't cancel it, I just didn't renew it and I don't plan on doing that.

I won't downgrade to silver unless I'm sure that I don't want to buy the new console. If I get the 720, there's no point in cancelling, since the account will probably just roll forward on the new system.

18 RepliesWhy bitch about the ads on the dashboard? They are non intrusive and harmless. They don't even make noise unless you highlight them. Stop complaining about the damn ads, because they could be a hell of a lot worse.

14 RepliesProbably doing that for that reason forge. Xbox probably wants you to make the mistake of renewing your subscription for live before next gen so that it encourages you to get the 720 since youd be locked in. As for me my live runs out at the perfect time in november :D. Its a good strategy by microsoft. However I think if the ps4 has free online then its really gonna be tough for the 720 to gain a foot hold since their networks are so similar now

1 ReplyCancel? Why not enjoy it whilst it lasts and just don't renew it whence it expires???
-
3 RepliesI probably won't get anymore gold from this point forward. Just because by the time I run out of Live I will be playing the next gen console.
-
I don't mind the advertisements, I just don't feel like I'm getting any value out of my annual subscription. I have to remember to delete my credit card info from the system.
-
I've had a free month off the dashboard 5 times in a row now, lol. Haven't paid for it in almost 2 years.
-
I have not seen any of those advertisements.
-
3 RepliesI'm running on a 14 day trail, right now. When I can, I'll get moar.

2 RepliesWhat do you mean by "a bit too much"?
-
What good is a next gen console without a library of games?
-
Mine should expire in June, then I may buy 3 month passes. Idk, I too want to switch to PC/Nintendo
-
3 RepliesIm certain our accounts and our gold are going to carry over to the next xbox.
-
My live runs out at the end of the month, switching to PC/PS3.

Woa! Really!? I had no idea they killed off Xbox Live Family Pack?

2 RepliesIs there anything they arn't over advertising on the dashboard? Too many advertisments.
