What are XBLG subscribers paying $50 a year for?

[Skeeuk]

the sole and only reason is because there is no other choice simple!

if you have a 360 and want to play a game online you HAVE to pay, even if you casually only play on weekends you still have to pull up the full charge.

i can guarantee you, if online play was free on 360 (which it should be), and the charge was just for the extras you would harldy have anyone forking out for gold membership apart from a few.

so to sum up, the only reason 360 owners are paying for XBLG is because they have no choice but to do so, otherwise they cant play online.
