Why Xbox Live is Worth the Price

This whole thread makes me want to impale myself with a blunt object. I don't get why after the what, 6 years, Xbox Live has been in existence, there are some people, mostly PS3 fans who can't get over that it's not free. Seriously, we have people commenting on here who've never used Xbox Live and whose entire rationale going through life seems to be "If it's free, it must be better." A majority of 360 owners (myself included) think it's worth the money and you get some nice features on the side. Heck, the only games I play online are Halo 3 and Gears 2. I don't get how hard it is for some people to leave threads like these the hell alone, but apparently people seem to get kicks out of starting arguments or impressing their beliefs on others. You're going to convince hardly anyone of anything here, so why bother trying when all it does is turn into a flame war?

Now, please continue your argument about a previous Forza 3 vs. GT 5 argument. *facepalm*

I can assure you I'm no PS3 fanboy and I think paying to play online is ridiculous. Considering you get more and better features on your PC than on a 360, it's ridiculous to pay for an inferior product. I remember when MS started releasinig games for windows LIVE and actually required PC gamers to pay the money to play those games, I still have yet to find or even hear of a person who paid that fee (everyone just played on "illegal" free cracked servers, cause fuck paying to play online). Funnily enough, Games for Windows LIVE no longer requires payment, yet the 360 LIVE does.... Something to think about.
