Ah....lovely, lovely insurance money....

[kali o.]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Got myself an XBox, PS2, bunch of accessories, Splinter Cell, MechAssault, Ghost Recon, DeathRow, Morrowind, MGS:Substance, Suikoden 3, Final Fantasy X and GTA:VC...and I'm getting XBox Live next week...any of you fuckers Live! yet? We should set up some games.

Not nearly enough time in this winter break...

KO-</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>No, no Live. Not a huge online fan, so I'm not willing to pay $80 for it....</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>It's cheaper then that.....I think.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Insurance money for what?</div>

[Oracle]

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>ITs $80 Canadian with a year free subscription</div>

[kali o.]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>For that B&E back in September.</div>

[kali o.]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Think of XBL as "another 80 dollar game"....and it is sorta...

All the extra downloadable game content (NHL2003, SC, etc.)...adds a lot.

And it's really simple to use...

Plus, all multiplayer functionality and fees for all XBox games combined into a single one-time fee?...pretty good deal when you think about it.

MechAssault is sucking up ALL my free time(at my sister's), it rocks!...it's a shame that you won't get it...I'd love to kick your ass online ; )

KO-
Btw - If you own an XBox AND have broadband it is almost a "crime" to not get XBL... Live is pretty much the #1 reason to get an XBox...if you pass on that, I'd have to wonder why you even bothered getting the console...

Also, I don't know if you noticed or not, but the XBox Live! packages have been selling out constantly (at least up here in Canada)...and it looks like the user base is going to reach extremely healthy levels...</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>They've been moving well, from what I know, but still very available up here. Also, in Canada, we have a much higher percentage of people with broadband than the US, particularly in the main cities, so they've been goin' good. But for me, I don't have an online game yet :-)</div>

[the Gray]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>grrr. Battletech is one of my all-time fav games. on the genesis it sucked up a huge amount of my time. I even did work for Day1Studios!!! I think I should get paid in a free Xbox and a Mechassault title, boss doesn't agree.....</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>For now on, Canadians must express their money in terms of CA$80 or whatever, for the sake of sanity.</div>

[Oracle]

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>IF the amount of money is very large and laughable, it's probably in Canadian funds. C'mon Sine, think a bit, yer a smart little boy :p</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Is it really that hard to put two little letters in front of the money amount?</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Is it really that hard to put two little letters in front of the money amount? Besides, Zeus, a Canadian, was confused about the money amount, so I'm sure Americans would get really get confused.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>? I was?</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>You said you weren't willing to pay $80...blah, whatever...nevermind.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>NOt willing to pay is different from being confused about the currency</div>
