Meh i guess im just never going to see the appeal of xbox live when i get same service free on ps3 basiclly.

Luck based indeed(i guess) if you were a subscriber for 10 years, probably the beta testers before Xbox Live came out will have a higher chance though, but i got to say it's quite nice from Microsoft doing this kind of thing, they also did it when Xbox Live existed for 5 years giving people free microsoft points who were that long subscriber.

I find it silly my self the little reward you get is nothing compared to the ammount of money you have payed them when compating servaces give you the same thing for cheap price called free. Unless they can sell there xbox for like $6000 on ebay they wont get what they payed in xbox live fees over the the last 10 years back anyway.

I agree for the most part, especially if you consider that there are hardcore xbox gamers who buy xbox live a month at a time through the system itself which is like 14.99 a month whereas you can get a 12 month subscription for 35 or so if you're patient and buy the actual cards.

I've known of people who have done the above for years

Xbox live = microsoft gold mine

what if your awarded one of these..and u throw it on ebay..and it goes for 1,000 or 2,000 thousand dollars?..then you just got all your money back for your subscription..plus your money back for your original console..so you could make out really good with this gift..i think it's somewhat plain looking..would of liked to have seen more colors..more vivid concepts on it...like a wow factor..it looks like a thrifty console version.lol..

Like I said it depends how bright a person you are as to if this would actually even cover your subscription costs for all those years.

@ 35 a year -> 35 x 10 = 350 spent on xbox live gold for 10 years

@ 15 a month -> 15 x 12 x 10 = 1800 spent on xbox live gold for 10 years

Granted you do get to play online when you have a subscription but wait don't we PS3 owners get that for free....

Lol yes we do but at least our payable service you get 12 free games a month granted you do not keep them if you stop subscribing but it pays out if you the kinda person who isn't all about owning ever game just want to play a game once and never play it again kinda person. With Xbox what do you get access to all these feature you can't even use without paying extra money on top of you live sub which is plain silly if you ask me.

Geralds,I intend to give it a go and see how many limited edition 360s i can obtain over the next 10 years i have 50 plus already

Heres what people in Uk get for the 10th anniversary of xbox live a free download for Wreckateer wow that is that is just sad if you ask me.

[Cosmic_Link]

That's what everybody gets, not just the people who have had 10 years of live! XD

I still reckon that people who qualify for the 10yrs thing will get a console in the UK.

See when a console is a one off I sort of think then it only classes as a custom rather than an edition. I'm sure most of you will disagree though.
