Think of it this way, suppose I have 3 friends who don't have a 360 and want to play a game with me online, I need to shell out anywhere from $32 for 1 month or $200 for 1 year just so they can play with me?
I know people say "$50 is nothing for 1 year", but look at it in my situation, it is nothing more than a god damn rip-off, which is why I get so angered with this current renewal situation and why I prefer my PS3 for online.
Unless of course there are no games that support 2-4 player online with 1 console other than Castle Crashers.

Well, most online enabled Xbox 360 games offer guests to play. Most multiplayer online games do, at least. Perhaps not the XBLA games.... I've never tried Castle Crashers and guests so I can't say.

Does it allow a guest in GeoW?
Anyways a smart person I know personally recently said this to me in regards to MS charging for online with the XBox360.
"Hmm, yeah I enjoy spending money for online when I already pay Cablevision for it in the first place... doesn't make much sense to me. When is Apple, HP, Gateway, etc going to start charging us for our computers to be able to use the internet? It's the same thing isn't it? If they did that people would fucking flip but its okay for Microsoft."
Many non gamers share this view and makes me believe only the 360 userbase falls into this trap. If Sony was ever to impliment something like this, believe me I would never pay for that shit either. I already pay for my ability to use online, I shouldn't have to pay again.
Thinking on these lines, honestly I doubt I will be buying LIVE after I am finished with this situation. Just like I have been for the year or so before I grabbed the 1-month plan.

Not only that. Any pc gamer wouldn't take it either (well cept for mmo players possibly?)
That's also why i'll never pay for live ! I don't want to pay for something i already own. Its also a big reason i wont get a xbox either.
