Yesterday my live ran out  (sadface) and  i don't have the cash to renew.

do want
do want
i am currently scrounging 48hour codes from everybody i know because i'm so very bored without it. Not only that, but i have bought only 1 2008 game,  GTA4 (gta rofl). which turned back into money (less money) soon after. To put it another way i have enjoyed zero 2008 games so far at all, instead i have "survived" by buying cheapo bargains that areususally under 15 pounds - crackdown (awesome), Rainbow 6 vegas(not quite as awesome), pgr 4 (ftw), vitrua fighter 5 (boooring), forza 2, gears of war, etc etc. Basically i'm too poor to buy games on release so i play catch up, which incidentlly is why tha xbawks is so awesome - more time released only means more and cheaper games - something which everyone overlooks.

Another thing that keeps me gaming (despite being skint) is halo 3 - it just never gets boring, ever. Andit's still a  very talked
explosions never get boring amirite
explosions never get boring amirite
about game and such. i've been playing it almost everyday since march of 08 (when i got xbl). Which brings me to 8 months live having paid only for 3 months: i have stolen 1 month trial accounts from almost everybody i know.

SO while everybody plays stuff like fable 2 and fallout and gears2 (hey at least H3s matchmaking actually works lol) and L4D and etc etc iplay halo. which is awesome. But now that my live has run out i am extremely bored and need dough to get games and live...... or i could just wait a few weeks until xmas.

Why not go on the dole? I've been claiming it for a few weeks now while I look for a job and as long as you're living with somone else, you should be able to cover your XBL fee.

Go to a Jobcentre, i'm sure that will do you more good then being on Giantbomb all day.

I agree, Halo 3 is the best multiplayer game on the Xbox, bar none.

Young people complaining how much their life sucks because they can't afford playing their mindless shooters after school too prove their manliness. Wow. I am getting all teary eyed.


Get a job and get some decent hobbies. At least broaden your gaming horizon.

While I wouldn't just say get a job (since people in school get the worst jobs), still expand your horizons and hobbies a bit. Having a 360 and can't afford all the games you want is like owning a really cool car and not being able to afford the gas to go everywhere you want. Be happy with what you have cause you never know when it will go away. (if it never goes away, and you keep this up, you're just a little whiny bitch that doesn't know how good you really have it.)

It has to be said... to the people hating on those that can't get a job... virtually no one can get a job in the UK at the moment. I'd imagine it's a similar thing in parts of the USA but y'see - UK = smaller and virtually all business' are cutting back.

And to the person that said "go to the Job Centre" - that's where you collect your Dole money. They help you look for a job and tide you over until you find something.

Perhaps you could take up running or something? ^^

Having said that, I do detest how teenagers in the western world claim their "life sucks".

Worst thing about UK at the moment is not the economy though; it's the fucking weather. Man, it's CRAZY cold.

Gaming must not be an expensive hobby. There's hundreds of awesome low budget and older titles which I bet you never played, and never will. You get mocked because you complain that you can't play your precious Halo. You can't afford 360 games and monthly subscription fees - If you ask me, with 15 you're not exactly supposed to. 
So you can't afford Xbox Live at the moment. What's the big deal? Go play something you can afford. Be glad that you're still young and have time and room to enjoy gaming. By the time you will be able to afford all your gaming wishes you will most likely not have more than 1 hour or less time on a regular day to enjoy it.

Cheapo bargains FTW. The only full-price 360 game I've bought is GTA but I've got over 80 hours out of that so far.

  you are so rude !!! he would certainly find a job if he could , currently we are in recession and that means the employers tend to avoid hiring new personnel  altogether and even fire some in order to balance the lack of profit .  right now the unemployment rate is about 9% which is a disaster ( the unemployment rate above 12% means the nation has gone from recession into a depression ) . if you knew a little about the sick economy you would not bash him for something he is partially responsible for if at all.

Here's a better idea:  find something to do that doesn't involve XBL...like getting laid a lot.  Consider the recession a way for you to do all the things that XBL is holding you back from.
