Thanks to one of our readers, Muggle_rilla, we now have screenshots of the MAG survey. There are only 2 here but they show some of the pricing plans Candid Anthony was talking about. If MAG is anything close to Planetside, I’ll gladly pay for it. That’s just my .02. The plot thickens…
Hey wassup Torrence, I can’t really make out the first image. It’s a bit to small. LoL
I have an iPhone as well and know how hard it is to post or e-mail a fill high resolution picture from it? Still learnin my iPhone. Is the colums on the first pic rates like the second pic?
Well, i’m not about to pay for MAG. This is a sad move by sony in my opinion, I was actually interested in getting this game. Hopefully they’ll come to their senses. Anyhow, all is not lost, cod5 anyone? =D
The sad thing here is that while the actual service of playing games online is free for PS3 users. The cost is already costing most PS3 users half of what the 360 offers. Now let me be clear this might only apply to the core SONY gamer and not the norm. BUT..!
It’s caost 49.99 a year for XBL Gold and then everything else is free including getting DEMOS on day one before Silver Account users. On the PSN you pay 24.99 per year for Qore in order to get insider reviews exclusive deoms and beta trials..and the get all the latest new on Xbox 360 for free wether silver/gold account holder. So when HOME is launched I can see it being alot more costly to actually “fully” enjoy the supposed social network with in HOME. Since I know that people aren’t gonna like using the same old cloths, furniture and add ons that will be free at the begining…Sony is gonna getcha and you won’t even know it. At least XBL is upfront with there cost and the amount of free themes and icons are so many that a person doesn’t ever need to buy any ever. I won’t con’t MAG into the cost of the actual cost to play online on the PSN because most AAA MMO type games cost and the same could be said for FinalFantasyOnline on the 360. Those are costs for the game itself and not the platform, IMO anyways.
Well, as far as exclusive qore demos go, i think the only one they’ve done is Motorstorm 2. The beta thing is correct though, and I don’t buy qore anymore since sony screwed me on the Socom beta. I purchased that episode to get into that beta, and i’m just now getting into it. Basically, I really have no desire to even play it now. Although, in the end qore is optional, that xbox fee is mandatory. I did hear some things on home, like they would charge for clothes and furniture. I’m one of those people who wants to see home and get in there and walk around a little, and i could give a crap less about having a badass fake house. As for xbox being up front about themes and icons, i think that’s ridiculous. I get themes free off the PSN and they look better, but this will change when the new xbox experience comes. Personally, i can’t wait to make my avatar and set up a theme that looks good. I still don’t believe they should be charging for those horrible looking themes. Anyway, I think both companies are bsing us in their own way. It’s nice that i have the option of playing both, and if any of them screw me over I have the option of not buying their games. Right now I am pretty sure i’m not going to buy socom thanks to sony, and if sony charges for mag i’m not buying it, simple.
Yeah I guess your right on all points. I was mearly stating that nothing is free forever. I don’t even use those thems on either PS3 or 360 I use my own home made wallpapers..lol
Your right though some of my buddies on PSN got hosed on the socaom beta and I was playing it day one just for pre-ordering it and went back and got my money.lol I like it but i hate the PS3 controller so I can’t really get why the triggers are pointed inward I always slip off’em. But you make valid points, respect..!
I hear you on the ps3 controller. I have copies of cod4 for both systems in my house and i prefer the 360 version because it’s so comfortable. Both games are very good it’s just i get a cramp in my hand when i use the ps3 one. Also, i rally can’t say i’m gonna get socom, i msgd sony about it twice they didn’t reply. Then i said well i’m not buying your game if you wont let me play the beta like i was promised. The next day the beta was in my e-mail. Too late for me to really care though, so unless i see some amazing socom gameplay that i have to have i’ll just keep up with cod4.
LoL…! I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that feels like the PS3 controller is a thumb/hand cramper..LoL
But yeah I love CoD4 for both systems…both games run great and look sexy…it just narrowed down to controller and nothing more. I want to see more information on this MAG game though before I commit to any extra fees.
