I refuse to "pay-to-play" any single game... Including World of Warcraft.

I am willing to pay for a network (XBox Live, PSN, etc.)... Additional content is fine... But not a monthly subscription that forces me to play the same game over and over. I think that model is broken and if gamers buy into it there will only be a few development companies left in the end because people will not pay for anymore then a couple of monthly subscriptions to play games.

No I'll just try out MH3 and see how that goes.

I have no idea what the hell Monster Hunter is, but if they give me a 2 week free trial or something of that nature ill try it.

If it comes state side i definitely would like to get it! I'm thinking if someone already has a gold account in america it shouldn't be an issue, but it is usually japan that has to deal with fee or the pay to play thing. I haven't seen a console MH for america where it is pay to play...yet.

Comes with a 30 day trial in Japan.  Also, paying the MH fee (about $15/month) also gives you free XBL Gold if you don't already have it.

i think if havent released on PC yet on the west still.

It's never going to get a western PC release.  Sven already pretty much admitted that, saying the infrastructure costs couldn't be supported.  If it comes west, it'll likely be 360 only thanks to Live.

So its basically 7$ a month, Thats not bad if your a fan of the series. Will give it a rent.
