The reason why you pay for Xbox Live - An attempted Explanation

[DaSimkin]

MS already makes money off of live by selling you games online.

Charing a monthly fee is like being charged to shop somewhere.

Do you realize that at $10/month over 10 years you'll end up paying 1,200 for the privilege of being online?

I can think of a lot of better ways to spend my gaming money than lining MS's pockets!
