Win. Online should be free, you already pay your ISP.

This is like saying that McDonalds should serve free food because you're already paying for gas to drive there.

No, no it is actually nothing like saying that. Let me add something for you to make it more clear. You already pay for your ISP, AND your game. The current setup of live is like paying for gas to drive to McDonalds (paying for ISP), buying a burger (buying a game), and then the manager of mcdonalds telling you you have to pay 50$ a month to actually eat the burger.

I think the best analogy would be to pay to drive to McDonald's, buy your food, and then have to pay extra to sit down in the restaurant. Certainly sitting down in a restaurant is nice, but it seems odd to pay for it. At the same time, sitting down in a restaurant does cost the restaurant money (cleaning, the extra room, napkins, etc.)
Now the question is this: Would it be stupid to pay to sit down in a restaurant? Maybe. It depends on how much they charge. I surely like sitting down in restaurants, and this particular Mcdonald's is more comfy than the Taco Bell next door. For me, I don't really like Taco Bell and the extra charge for sitting down seems reasonable.

 

You guys are morons. Both your analogies are stupid because MS isn't your ISP. Analogy 101...fail.
