From the old thread
"I would be but i still need to get myself a gold account, but i'm waiting till i get paid (since being a college student I lack the $120 to drop on it right this moment), i'm getting myself the account on Thursday though most likely."
You know its just $50 for the year, right?

You know its just $50 for the year, right? For some reason i thought it was 60 a year. that whole price is including me getting the game. Basically I get paid thursday and have more money with which to get XBL, right now I'm using a gift card to Best Buy I have lying around ($75) to get the game.

Yeah there's always the monthly option, but if you keep getting it over a year the total is insane.
12 month live card = $49.99, $38 with my Best Buy discout ;D

I'm still trying to connect my Xbox 360 to Live. I have a previous subscription, but that doesn't do much good when I can't even get my 360 to go online. Freaking wireless ethernet bridge things...

Wish I could help but I fought as it is to get my wired router to work with it. I'd suggest calling X-Box Live tech support, but....every time I've done it I got an Indian person who hardly spoke english, so, good luck with that!

and, you could always just cut out the middle man and connect it straight to the modem when you want to play on xbl.

I don't mind paying 9 dollars a month and having more money for everything else monthly You can buy the year cards with a debit card....think about this... 9 x 12 (not including tax) = $108 Thats already over twice what you'd be paying if you bought the year card! But if you wanna keep buying monthly cards....come to my Best Buy so they can stop *****ing at me for not sellin enough stuff

Haha, well some idiot came into my work and didn't want to commit to a full year of xbox live, and got three 3 month cards instead. Despite that costing £5 more than just getting the years subscription.... And was everyone else expecting this game to be the second coming or something? I don't know why everyone is shocked to find it full of flaws- SvR 06 was basically a whole series of flaws taped together to make a barely functional game (yeah I still bought it, and played it a lot too..)... This year at least fixes the most glaring flaw- the terrible selling. And improves the second worst flaw- the stupid reversals.

Except that reversing is more of a problem than ever, as the computer literally reverses 90% of your strong grapples, and I cannot reverse s***. ;D

Most of my 06 matches i would end up yellow in at least one body part, despite hardly ever letting the comp get a move in on me! And at least there are more reversal animations. It's still nowhere near as good as DOR2's reversal system though, but it's better than being stabbed in the kidneys. And reversing is actually pretty easy, you just need to get the timing down, since it's different from the last game.

Yeah it looks more realistic, but I am SO f***ing tired of doing a strong grapple then being treated to that stupid close up animation of them getting out of it and grappling me instead. I am glad, however, that not everything links to a "go behind/club to the back" reversal like 06

So is this game worth $50? I've bought every SD game within a week of it's launch since the very first one but THQ is really starting to piss me off. The fact that every character isn't playable in Season Mode is completely ridiculous, that's like if in Madden 08 they decided you couldn't play as the Cowboys and the Eagles because they weren't able to get the coaches voices finished for the "Ask the Coach" option.
The fact that they actually TAKE AWAY options (diva's playable in certain modes, less Season Mode storylines, no more Three Stages of Hell, etc) or consistently leave things that NEED IMPROVEMENT (A 'FREAKING' I, especially in Tag Matches) then waste time that could be spent on that on shoddy voice overs that add nothing and only hinders the season mode; it just shows how lazy they're being and honestly I don't want to support them even if it is my "only option". If I buy this I think I'll buy it used, it's to the point where I'd rather the store get my cash than THQ.

They said there are over 40 storylines this year so pipe down. I can't wait to play it. It'll be nice for a change from SVR06.
