Microsoft cannot affort it themselves you the consumer should pay for the privilege of playing your Xbox online.

Sony fanfiends dont know what to say these days,First they say MS has alot of money and they spell MS with an "$",M$ cause they have alot of money,now they say they cant afford it?

 

 

 

I thought people used the $ sign because they bought their way into the market.

and yes, charging for live is one of the only reasons ms has come even close to turning a profit. What is the figure like 15million subsribers (i really dont remember) times 50$ a year? take away the 5 billion they've made off of that since the first xbox and you have an M$ which is 5 billion in the hole.

 

lol wut? Did they make a xbox prototype and bill gates friends seen it and they wanted one and they told there friends,and there friends wanted one,then he released it world wide?

 

@Nikkom,your right PS3 is BILLIONS in the hole,of course MS knows how to run a company,which may explain why 360 is cheaper than PS3.

Also i dont think its right to pay for XBL so i dont,XBL is nothing but a PC rip off,which should be free of course,and PC games are 10$ less with FREE ONLINE....
