Should Xbox Live be a Democracy?

I don't really want to start this as it will mean i will be sitting on my ass instead of going to the shop to buy foods, and since i decided not to be gym'in' today due to snow, tired and stuff.

The world of gaming has become main stream, but with main stream you have to have all that goes with it, Video (and caputure), browzers, music, FB, Twitter etc,etc, etc Sony Killed their back comp on the PS3 quite early but the PS2 is still strong.

MS's Xbox was a huge test and a dream of the lord and master of computer money, BG, to put a media box in everyone's home before the decade was out, and that box has been ticked, a long time ago, but since this is still a new phenomina, people are racing for the next big thing, Motion control, Natal, etc. Money, time, effort and trying to please everyone is not an easy recipe for the future but thats what the gaming giants have to deal with.

I think EA, as known as the evil empire in the day(some still do) but i think they took as much money as they could in the day, because the gaming thing was only going to last so long, but here we are today, 22 million strong on XBox Live, Wow has a similar number, most of Korea are gaming fans or Gold farmers, and China has jumped on that wagon.

Gaming is huge, making more than Film and music combined, in the last year or before, and we have to move with this  flow or it will die and we will be geeks and nerds again, not that we stopped being so, but we are now looked at as equals to musician and film makers, if you can understand that(and keeping in within the media bubble). And yes you can argue how is gaming compared to a talent like music or film making or writting etc, but art is a talent, so argue away! LOLZ!

In truth, I just don't play original Xbox games anymore, I love Burnout 3 but after the 4th time, i think, of playing it through to unlock cars to play online and putting up with tihs coms, I don't miss it that much, revenge has a place but I just don't have the skills or the umph to play to a real standard anymore. I do miss my Burnout 2, But I did a lot of hours on that game to say i did a life time of play on it, but will miss that time of chasing my friend in split screen, and 'training' it around the map, like a baby on an umbilical cord, with Partisan.

Halo 2 was fun, and I miss Crash and Burn game modes, Carve, Crimson Sky's and a lot of other game si Still own but when I could not recover my tag back on my original xbox (No2), I gave up on the machine, but still have it and still dust it, but never switched it on in a long while.

Zombie it will be hard to lose our great past on the Burnout games, though through, those great games, stuff has happened way beyond gaming, and i am greatful, one of the reasons I still Like Alex (and his boss too), he created with his workers, some amazing games that have spurned a cult web site, and have created loves and friendships that will last till we die or until I say something stupid again, ;) 

I do have more to say but i have to shop and i have a busy night playing WOW, yes, I like, so live with it, it's something to do on a cold night, I have a laugh, and though I don't have many friends on it, it's nice to play something that has got so much in it, from the game its self, to the build, art work and all that jazz, a hell of a lot of JAZZ!

I look forward to the future, I hope it brings Joy Ride quicker and Crackdown 2, and Thankfully Umo has Videos to enjoy when we sit back and reminise? (SP)

And maybe someone will do a rebuild of BO3 for the next gen lolz! Or something similar as that game still can't be beat for multiplayer, just need more tracks and different varity or cars too, like the Classic Tuk Tuk!

Be well to each other and recycle because eating of the the floor and drinking tea out of your hands is hard to deal with!

 Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

It will not be accurate but at least you will know, something like, should we keep Xbox live originals or Move on?

Morning Zombie :)

They're probably trying to buy Burnout 3 on the marketplace. I lol'ed at Lucky on the xbox forum too, clearly their 'original' xbox was a 360. Poor thing. They think xbox live will stop working for it and they have to buy a new 360 if they want to play online with it.

I expected more knowledge from Lucky.

There are going to be sooooo many surprised people on April 15th when it stops working. Angry surprised too. I've not had an official e-mail yet telling me Original xbox live is closing, I don't see them sending one to all the affected people and most of them won't know unless through friends maybe.
