| NightDragon83 said: I wouldn't pay more than the going rate of $50/year, and even then I haven't payed that much... both times I waited to pick up a 13 month gold card for $30... that's something like $2.30 a month... oh man, what a bank breaker!!! Meanwhile, you're paying upwards of $50-$60 per MONTH for high speed internet access in most cases... most cable companies charge that much for internet by itself unless you get the triple pack with cable and phone, and even then the price goes up on all 3 after a year... that's where us consumers are really getting hosed! |
I wouldn't have any problem with a super user pack for XBL to get ALL DLC (Expect for full retail games) for free...but M$ would lose money on that deal. My fear is that they raise prices and we get what we've been getting...I've got some beef with that. Here's my thing...the infacstructure for XBL is already in place, and M$ is making solid $$$ off it already, so IF you want to increase prics, you'd better provide some massive GAME related improvements to jsutify your increases...not facebook and etc. Okay...look in the world of MMOs...Blizzard launches 18 month expansions...one-time charges, but they don't tag us with annual increases to the base price. If they want to generate more $$$ for XBL...offer up one-time charges...and let people buy them...as an OPTION. That's what M$ has promoted for Xbox format since it's inception...
Lastly on my rant...I'm membered up thru 2011...so what would happen to my membership? Based on this news, I'm going to spent $80 and get 2 more years thru 2013...lol! Jack my prices...class action lawsuit!
