Umm, I'm pretty sure that the people that buy MK6 aren't going to get it because of the online capability. Even if they did, most of them would either already have Xbox Live, or really want when they get the game.

Just because you don't think it's worth doesn't mean others don't.

XBox live 70 dollars for one month???? the starter kit is 70 dollars and its for one YEAR... but i do think that instead of having an online feature take it out and add more stuff to the game and make it amazing

I heard it was for 1 month. Fuck. Sorry

The started kit is 49.99 and you get a free 12 months (1 year) with it. I would buy MK:D wether it went online or not. The online aspect just makes it that much greater and sends the replay value through the roof.

Of course MK: Deception online is worth it. You pay $52 for a game and then $52 for 12 months for Xbox live.Sure it is a bit pricey thing when you combine the two prices. But consider your not only just getting online for one game , but all online enabled games for the system. When it comes to MK: Deceptio online , it provides unlimited re play value, instead of just mastering a game and just playing against your friends. Online you will be able to fight endless amounts of people. I don't own a Xbox myself, but it seems worth play MK: Deception online. I grew up in the 90s myself and played MK1- MK4 in a local arcade scene. Sadly of course those days are long gone. Yeah there was people cool and interacted with. The great part about MK: Deception that you can still interact with people via headset on both PS2 and Xbox. You can at least talk to people and of course maybe MK: Deception online setup will allow you a place to interact even more. I haven't play a console game online yet , but I hear Xbox live online setup allows for great communation. I hear the PS2 version will have a lobbyish thing to it( I don't know what Boon said about lobby setting for PS2 owners). One last thing, MK: Deception might have a spectator mode so people could be able to watch. I can't wait to play this game online, endless stuff is going to go on, and that to me will be worth it.

I've heard countless people say that... what would you rather put into it's place?

To me it isn't worth it. Because I am not gonna pay so much money a month to play someone, when I could play against a friend that lives near me. I mean Cable is like 50 bucks a month, I wouldn't want to pay that, over and over. I'd rather just get the game and play it by myself, but if other people want to play it online it's their choice.

PS2's MK: Deception online will be free. Xbox's MK: Deception of course like all its Xbox's online enabled games only needs Xbox live. Xbox live is $52 for 12 months of Xbox live. Not much at all in the long run.

True PlayOnline is free and the PS2 Moden is what now $30 dollars? However, you would still need to get a highspeed internet which ranges from $30 to $70 dollars a month depending on where you live, what type you get and whether or not you use cable TV. I use DISH and the local cable company charges extra to use broadband if you don't use cable TV so if I go that route I will be paying about $65 to $70 a month for crappy service. DSL is no option, yet. *sigh* Most likely I'll end up playing the game by myself for a few months to learn how to use the characters and see how good the game actually is before getting broadband.

If MK didn't include online play with this game, then they'd be left behind as all the upcoming fighting games will have this feature.

If you already have an online account then its just another game to play, if not and you don't have broadband etc.. then maybe not esp. if its the only game you'll play online (even moreso for Xbox)

But for me, as soon as i can get broadband i'll be signing up for XBLive

Dude, a spectator feature is an awesome idea that sadly enough I haven't thought of or heard anyone point out yet. It would be easy to add and be really fun to watch some of the best people play. With tournaments and ladders, this game is endless fun. Im on 4mbit cable and an Xbox but not Live, but I will definitely pay $50 for one year that is very very well worth it.

E-mail Boon & co and tell him to include a spectator mode!

Definitely worth it. I'll be online using the PS2 and I'd pay for XBox live if I had to!

The spectator mode idea is awesome! That should definitely be added to the game!

It's definitely worth it. I hope to be getting my PS2 online just so I can whoop yas wit Nightwolf

whoa whoa whoa... not only do you have to buy xbox live... but you have to PAY monthly to use it online too, right.... that is such a huge truck load of BS... i'd rather play against the cpu and get bored quickly than have my family go bankrupt just so i can play online with people...

PS2 rules because of that once u have the adapatar u have online capability. High Speed Internets coming through are cable company this fall so soon as we get it I'm gonna get the stuff for my PS2. Then I'm gonna kick some ass.

Dude the arcades are dying now. Why do you think they are now resorting to Online gaming. And I myself wouldnt buy the game because of online gaming for one good reason for one i dont have PS2online.. But yeah thats why MKDA was for homesystems because the coin op world is bascially dead.

MetalSlug6590 Wrote: A new feature in MK6 is that it will be online. Would you buy, lets take Xbox live for an example. Would you buy Xbox live for 1 month which is i think about $70. I doubt that is worth it. I wouldn't buy a new feature for a game if that certain feature has an expiration date and costs more than the game itself. Would go online only for MK6? Why or why not? Another reason is thats kind of what arcades are for. To interact random people and play the same game. And doesn't every GOOD AND POPULAR arcade always have alot of people good at certain fighting games? 'Nuff said.

I like arcades. Why are they dying?

xbox will have over 100 compatible xbl games by the end of 2004. I think its more than worth the price of admission. xbl also has alot more features than PS2 online and every xbl game has voice chat support.

I dont know the advancement of games like PS2 and Xbox i dont know really but i know they already closed ours so u know. Plus the closest Arcade is like an hour away so yeah there dead.
