Xbox 360 is requesting you to open your wallet again for online play
Well rumours having been going around and it seems it’s true. Microsoft will be requesting gamers that buy used games to pay additional “Microsoftpoints” on top of paying for Xbox Live gold to play online. This rumour has been confirmed with the new Mortal Kombat which will charge 800 Microsoft points for Xbox 360 users and around $10 for PSN users.

But after seeing him play the game a few times I started to se why their was so many players online playing halo 3. That was the year I decided, “I got to get myself an xbox 360″.

Microsoft, for some time, has implemented a service called games on demand, which allow xbox live members to download full version games on their system. This feature allows gamers to download the game without having to go out and buy the actual dvd game since all the game data is on your harddrive. The biggest complaint from users, including myself is the price. Some games (actually most games) are more expensive to buy than the actual game disk at a game store.
