Didn't bother reading everyone's response, but this is the single biggest reason why I refuse to buy an XBox360.
Take away my gamerscore, take away my demos, take away XBLA, take away video marketplace, and just give me online gaming for free.
And it's not that I can't afford it. I just don't see the value in it. Especially if they are going to make me buy a wireless adapter instead of just building it into the console. Like all the other consoles. And handhelds. And just about every other electronic device made in the past 5 years. I say this as a formerly PC heavy gamer. Where user created content (maps/mods), online gaming, online messaging (texting/voice), official demos, were all provided for free.
