Is paying $50 or less year for xbox live really that big of a deal??

Hmm...would I rather pay $50 a year to play online games, or would I rather own an extra $50 game.

Answer is obvious.

I'll stick to my free PC gaming.

Well said. XBox Live is roughly equivalent to the price of a new game or two or three pre-owned games.
