    NCAA dev and XBOX rant

    This is to all who have anything to do with charging money for this demo.
    If you did not specifically have ANYTHING to do with deciding to charge money, than you ARE NOT who I am directing this to in any way.

    I have purchased NCAA football religiously every year. I slap my $$ down every July for it. The upcoming NCAA 12 has got me so pumped that July 12th cant come fast enough.

    My friend tells me to jump on XBOX Live and download the demo. I log on and WAIT A MINUTE!, you have to be a GOLD member to download the demo??? I have to pay 59.99 or the lesser amount just to download a 2 minute quartered demo?? What the hell is up with you all?

    First off, I m not a gold member because I dont live online nor play online enough to justify it. I work and am not as hardcore as I used to be. All in all, I still game and enjoy playing. Last year it was the buying things to unlock pitches etc, now this? Seriously, you guys are bad business. As if XBOX/Microsoft isnt banking enough, or EA Sports isnt banging out profits with an exclusive rights deal to Madden and NCAA. I am so pissed I cant believe it.

    I know I may get ripped, but its the simple fact, we all pay each year for a product that NEVER goes on sale (and im not talking about old/reduced games) nor has any discount ever. We religiously buy these titles and remain loyal. Im not being cheap but its the principle of it.

    I could spend the $ for the Gold membership and never play it. That money I could use for something else, but instead I had to get Gold to play a FREAKING DEMO! No way.

    So if I dont get the demo, I cannot get available Nike Pro Combat uni's either? WTF! Im telling you, NCAA, EA, XBOX, screw all of you crooks. Your pieces of trash and I seriously HATE the way you scam us for your product. Last year I gave you all a pass but this is it man, Ill buy this one and probably the next, but someone needs to speak up about it.

    I have so much more to say but I cant even focus enough to get it all out nor do you all probably want to read it, but to all of you jackwagons, MIDDLE FINGER!

    I hate you and your scams

    Nothing but the worst for you all personally and your companies in the future

    The Gold exclusive for the demo goes away in a week. Relax. Also, if you create a new GT (for free), you get a free month of LIVE with it.

    Plus, without Gold, you can't use Netflix/Hulu/ESPN3 on Xbox either. It's not just for playing online.

      You do understand you are an idiot right? Take the case to Xbox, not EA

        I understand your point. The way around it is to make a new user account on Live and I believe you get like a month worth of gold for free. You'd get the demo that way.

          I'm sorry, but I really did laugh out loud at this rant, my boss looked at me funny.

          If you didn't know about the gold membership now, then it's on you. Nobody is forcing you to get the demo, or pay for the gold membership. You could easily say "no thank you."

            I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

              Were you hoping OS would send this letter to Microsoft for you?

              Please keep this garbage out of here. You took the time to write the letter, so take the time to send it where it belongs. We don't have any use for it here.
              "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
