The stupid 14 year olds are smarter than you think  . They do what they do to put you off the game, and make you angry so you can't concentrate properly, or better still, manage to get you banned. Well, that, and they love being annoying. All because they get some pathetic thrill out of it  . I agree, they need to get a life, but you won't stop them from trying to put you off your game, unless you unplug your headset .
As for me, I agree with Jason, Microsoft charge a fair price for their servers and exculsive content. £40 a year is hardly pennies a day, so if you're even an occasional player, you still get your moneys worth.
I don't really have a preference as to which I prefer, but I play PC games the most.

I just can't play 1st person shooters using a joypad, I've tried! But I can kick some serious butt using the keyboard and mouse.
IMHO there's nothing better right now than playing Unreal Tournament 3 online on my PC at full blown graphics - gorgeous! (and free).

Eh...that's a matter of taste. I can't get enough of Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, or Portal for that matter. Hell, Half Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 are just as amazing to me.

Ah yes COD4 is de bomb!

There's a demo for most things, Sam, try looking it up on gamespot.com
I just hope that EA have made a proper effort with that NFS, all of EA's games have been going downhill the last couple of years, they used to be brilliant, sharp, responsive games but now they're the complete opposite. Pull your finger out, EA!

Actually...Sam, if you download Steam and get an account registered, I can give you a guest pass. It lets you play the game for 3 days for free. Far better than any demo. As long as you give me your Steam ID or email address, I can let you in on the fun. I've only got one pass though. So once I send it and you've used it, that's about as far as things will go until you buy the game yourself.

Pc gaming without a doubt,its so much cheaper,the games on consoles are ridiculously expensive and whats more I can use my PC for pretty much anything else I want to.You try and play Tiger Woods PGA Tour with a console,you will be lucky to break par on advanced and with a mouse on PC gives you a much better feel for all the clubs.

Unless you have used your pass already. Quote:

Sports are much better on the consoles. Especially PGA Tour. Much easier to just bring the joystick back and then forward for a swing.

Sam, you're still in luck. I haven't really had anyone I wanted to give the pass to other than you. Just PM me or something through here when you're ready for it as I might not be on Steam all the time. Let me know your email and your steam username. I have to use one or the other to send the guest pass.

I can't hit a ball straight if you paid me a million dollars.
I am gonna go try it on the gamecube. I have 05 and 07. I have Links2001 for the PC. I can't stand hitting the mouse button at the precise moment.
Ill let you know if I can hit the ball straight or not on hard....

We're not being mean to ALL of them. Just the ones that already ticked us off. If you're dumb enough to ruin the game for everyone else, you're dumb enough to be hated on for doing it. It's just the way I see it. Apologies to any offended 14 year olds that this doesn't apply to.

Too abounding if you ask me. I've alone anytime cared to own 3. My accurate Play Station 2, a Nintendo 64, and a Nintendo Gamecube. I'm searching into maybe accepting a Wii, but that's up in the air until I accept my banknote breeze botheration solved. And until then, I'm added than blessed with my PC.
