I just spent $75 on Live and PSO. And now I want to get rid of PSO.

So, my cousin spent $100 on Live and MechAssault when he could have gotten both above for $70... He lost $30, you only lost $15... It could be worse, you could have waited to buy Live and the price could have increased to $69.99 as it is supposed to any day now.

Plus, you can actually sell the XBOX version of PSO... The Dreamcast version had a serial# tied to your Dreamcast's serial#, which rendered online play useless to a 2nd-hand buyer trying to use the SN on a different dreamcast, so the game had zero resale value.

You wouldn't be interested in trading it for NFL 2K3 would you?

P.S. -- Don't forget to call 1-800-4MYXBOX to cancel your PSO account.

Actually, the deal works out at 60 bucks for Live and MechAssualt or PSO

I'm in the same boat too, as I bought Live as a gift for my brother 2 or 3 weeks ago.
But as Ruined points out, the price could just as easily be $70 for Live alone, as it will be soon.

Yo. I'm probably gonna break down and pick up an XBox, soon. No garauntees, but likely. If I do, I need Live! - but the price new is $70.

Any good deals out there for n00bs?

If you can find a way to just get the subscription cheap, I have an extra headset available.

Enzian · 06-20-2004, 11:45 PM

Hm. I remeber a while ago there was a thread about cheapie starter subscriptions. I was wondering if they were still to be had.

Thanks for the headset offer. I'll keep it in mind if and when this XBox thing comes together.

Sycowulf · 06-21-2004, 07:25 PM

I thought XBL came with mechassault? Or is that promo over with?

Enzian · 06-23-2004, 02:30 AM

Retail, I can't get a year's subscription of Live for less than $70. That's a lot of loot. I can get 3 months, with headset and Mechassault, for $40. That's a little better, methinks. I'll need Mechassault, anyway.

I'm looking for a bargain, folks! Help a brother out!

"Retail, I can't get a year's subscription of Live for less than $70."

At Walmart they're offering one year without the frills for 40 bucks:

Enzian, headset for a CAT5 cable and two CAT5 terminators.

I might even have an expired two month trial you could finagle your way into using.

Enzian · 06-28-2004, 01:45 AM

I had no idea what you were talkig about, yesterday. It all makes sense, now.

How long do you want it; do you want the connectors attached or do you have your own tools; if you want me to crimp them, what type of cable do you need (crossover, straight-through, Cisco console port?)

And I need your address.
