I would say this, I like live for what it is, but, if you buy a $60 game that game should not say it includes online multiplayer. it should say online multiplayer sold separately ..
Why not sell Xbox 360 games cheaper when playing online on it is a privilegde..
You can't play online right out of the box .. all I want is play online and the rest of the features can go to hell.
If I buy COD:MW2 it will cost me $65 including tax plus another $50 if I want to play online for a full year.
Thats $115 on that game alone to play to the fullest.
In my case I share my Xbox with two diff accounts thats $100 invested in one console every year, I can add a 3rd account but that would be ridicules.
Why not make one payment and tie it to the console for a year at least, So a family of 4 or 5 can have thier own accounts ..
Microsoft wants to go after the casuals, but to be more family oriented they have to do something on how they run Live,
Think about it, I don't think the average hard working dad with 3 kids over 12 years old and 4 including him will make 4 separate live accounts on that console..
Hardly anybody likes to share their own accounts.
If that same dad goes shopping for a system console at Best buy and ask the seller which console is better suited for my kids and myself to each have our own profiles and share the same console, the seller will say, best deal will be a PS3..
Microsoft will soon lose my support to Sony this christmas, the free service that Sony offers is looking good everyday and totally, you can't go wrong for what it is ..
PSN provides a lot of good features and the network community is growing larger everyday ..
I still will buy exclusive Xbox 360 games but only for SP mode, Multiplat games is for my online multiplayer satisfaction on the ps3 ..
