Not to bash the op's opinion, but I find it amusing that someone will balk at <$4 per month for a great service, but won't complain about the fact that the Wii has stayed at its original price of $250. How Wii ruined fun for everybody by gouging users who buy the base unit.

I'll admit that I've seen far worse rebuttals, but yours kinda stinks too...

Why does my rebuttal stink?  Someone who complains about MS charging less than $4 per month for a service that costs them money to operate, but who refuses to acknowledge that Nintendo is providing much less hardware at $250 than MS is at $199, is being inconsistent.  So MS gouges by charging a little money for a service that costs money to operate, but Nintendo isn't gouging by charging so much for their console that they're making a killing on each one?

Does it stink to point out this inconsistency?

Perhaps you should actually explain why someone's post stinks if you're going to criticize.
