i mean you pay 50$ for gold because MS hold servers for all multiplayer/coop games from all the publishers so you will be able to still play Modern Warfare 2 even when Xbox 4 will be released.
on ps3 publishers have to hold servers for their own games. so considering the fact that they also pay sony for transfer from psstore and sony receives fees from every item sold on psstore, this is weird.

I didnt think there were any dedicated servers, even from Microsoft, for the 360 and that everything was P2P.

Exactly. M$ are price gouging people nothing more nothing less.

Well to be fair, it only comes out to about $4 a month for live, $3 if you can get a deal like I did, both of which is a fraction of what my internet monthy payment is.   Plus the amount of content you get is quite impressive

What impressive amount of content is that?  Not being sarcastic...I used to be a gold member but quit when I got a PS3.  I don't remember there really being any extra content (for free) but maybe things have changed...
