It seems that there is an immature mindset with some of the posters here. Trying to argue very weak points and not acknowledging some of the solutions just for the sake of arguing. Continuing to say it costs more than $200 to play in HD is bullshit. HD consoles are primarily just that, HD. Sure you can play them on an old shitty CRT but they are meant to be used on an HDTV deal with it and stop acting like a child that doesn't get it's way.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
