It`s Official: I am retiring from Xbox Live

My PS3 has been ordered! Although it was ordered by my wife and going to be withheld until my 30th birthday next month.
As a result my Xbox Live days are over as I shall not be renewing my Live subscription and moving my spending to Sony`s baby. I must say I am looking forward to spending a Sunday afternoon on Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank etc. They are a world away from the endless shooters and sports games the Xbox offers and I can`t wait.

PS. How long will it be before someone starts to champion M$`s answers to LBP and R&C and tell me how short sighted I have been? The truth is that I am not moving platforms just to get those games more that I want to change platforms and these games are nice brucie bonus.

funnily enough, i`ve just cancelled my LIVE subscription too. just been online
to do it rather than talk to someone i can`t understand.

i wouldn`t walk away from the 360 completely though... it`s nice to have the option
of playing both for each platforms exclusives.

i would definitely recommend both of the uncharted games. if you can, resist playing
uncharted 2 until you have completed the first game...

i have one of the R&C games but can`t get into it at all... my son loves it though!

I too moved to PS3 for new games. It was only because I prefer to play with my real life friends and they all have PS3`s. However I have always preferred Xbox Live and feel it is worth £28 a year, especially as there is now Sky Player and from Tuesday I can use Facebook, twitter and make my own playlists at Heart.FM. Also stuff gets released daily on LIVE whereas PSN only makes new downloads available every Thursday afternoon.






Is that the time? Damn you PSWii60!!!!

It`s funny. I don`t know a soul with a PS3. It`s flopped down in my city. 360 crazy down here.
