I am quitting for various reasons. Before I got Xbox LIVE, I would come home and do my homework everyday. Afterwards, I would go outside or watch TV or something. I would rarely play my xbox. But when I did play, I had a blast. Offline was so much fun when you didn't even know Xbox LIVE existed.

I got live, got a free month, and put in halo 3. From there on I knew I was obsessed. I never quit playing it. I would end up starving myself without even knowing it because I was on LIVE. After that passed and I started realizing I was hungry, my grades in school dropped. Far. My dad said "If you make another F, the Xbox is gone for a month. Do you know what happened? I got straight As.

I did gain a tad bit of weight during the climax of my addiction. I got it off, then kept it off. After that, I started realising the ranks in Halo 3. That added to my addiction 2x. I eventually got above 1100 exp. and Recon armor plus every peice of armor for the Spartan and elite. I could also pin the 4-shot with the BR and all of that stuff.

I slowly started getting bored. Then, the allmighty MW2 came out. I got that along with a 32" plasma HDTV with surround sound. I had alot of fun. But this is when Xbox turned. I no longer had fun. I started getting pissed at shit so easy. I hated it. So, even though I got bored of halo and MW2 started pissing me off, all I wanted to do was play the damn Xbox.

Xbox turned into something along the lines of getting dressed. I had to and would feel right without it. I HAD to play it if it was available. I found interest in nothing else.

That's how strongly I was addicted to the Xbox. Now, if I play offline in campaign, I find no fun at all. That's what LIVE does. Remember how big final fantasy was before Xbox LIVE? Well now look at it. The newest final fantasy(best) came out for the Xbox. It had no online multiplayer. Barely anyone got it. That ring-a-bell?

My point is that I am quitting Xbox LIVE and selling my Xbox 360 because of boredom, frustration, addiction, and loss of singleplayer fun. I am going to get a brand new phone, get some airsoft weapons, or something. I had auto renewal set to auto charge my credit card for one month when my gold times out. I turned that off. The date that I am officially quitting is 4-24-10.

If you want to quit but can't, sell the peice off sh*t for a good amount of money and do something productive with it. Go buy a bike, or some new shoes.

Well, it's gonna be hard but getting a new phone sure does outweigh the cons in selling my xbox!

Just do what is best for yourself. I don't think that Xbox is best. Anymore.
