Oh dear youre not very bright are you lol.
I have an excellent Internet connection. Its 20MB DL and 768KB upload. And with an extremely good router. Also as an IT Manager I know how good my connection is and if it wasnt excellent I wouldnt put up with it.
I have 2 Xboxes and 2 accounts because theyre are 2 different people playing at the same time. This doesnt not mean however that we are both playing the same game or that we are both playing multiplayer games (before you blame that for lag)
A lot of the features you mention have only just been added AND some of them you have to pay for. I also wouldnt use any of them. I have my PC and laptop for things like Facebook.
And the comment about other platforms using servers to host games and costing more as a result is of obvious relevence. It costs MORE and yet is FREE. Get a grip.
The point about Skype is that and I cant believe I am having to explain something so simple. Voice Over IP is a free technology. It doesnt cost anything to host or to implement, so paying for cross gaming chat doesnt cost anything either.
If you do a simple calculation around 1 year ago it was noted that Microsoft had around 10 million gold subscribers at aounrd £40 per year. That means Microsoft are making £400 million so they can SELL you movies, additional content the odd freebee and allow you to host your own games.
I love my Xbox, I just dont like being ripped off.
Now if you were to get off your FANBOY soap box and breath the air of reality youll realise that 99 percent of the features you think are worth paying for can be used on the Internet for free. And the things that you pay for on Xbox live cost no more elsewhere.
So with all this made clear. JUST WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR.
