can M$ be more greedy?

I don't understand how some X360 fans can defend Micro$oft kn this one.

Nothing really to defend but the two execuses I can see are inflation and ESPN. The price hasn't changed in seven years so it was either gonna go up or down sooner or later (obviously up now) and inflation has increased a bit since then. Do grocery prices ever stay the same? When they go up do you get more content? Not normally.

This will also help if Kinect bombs and/or they are losing money on Kinect they can use their subscribers to subsidize the cost (along with all the stuff they download, MS gets 30% cut on everything right?)

Lastly anyone who visits cheapassgamer or any deal website knows they could of had XBL year cards for $30 or less. Unless your a teen who depends on your parents to buy you Live, chances are you have a credit card and a brain to find deals out there. Playstation users will continue to laugh at this of course.

Why do they add worthless stuff in the first place? I use my gaming consoles for GAMES. I don't care about ESPN or whatever on my X360. If they want to charge us for that, at least they should have a different subscription or make ONLINE FREE. I don't need that worthless stuff.

 

Read: me me me me me me. YOU may not like it, a heck of a lot of others do.

You just come across as someone that doesn't even own a X360, gamertag in your sig or not.
