.84 cents more a month (that's if you have trouble finding the dozens of deals always out there, which is even less) is not getting "rammed" anywhere.  It would be if it was $10 more a month.  

You have to pay for your games, and jsut about ALL games on LIVE are P2P, so you are actually paying for jask shit. Also, isn't there advertising in LIVE? Correct me if I'm wrong on that last one.

When you get a game on the PC (for at LEAST $10 less) you get the game, you can also play online for free. Even better, most games, the ones that don't blow hard, are on dedicated servers. I get 9 ping on a public server in CS:S for example, and I have seen 20 ping on some L4D servers, while you are stcuk at playing well over 100ping. For something you paid for.

If that isn't sodomy with a splntered broomstick, then I don't know what is. Like I said, I am amazed people actually praise that sensation. Thank you for proving my point even further.

Edit: Oh yeah, all those "AWESOME BADASS ZOMG SERVICES FREE!!!1111!!" that you hype up for so much, I also get for free. You know, Netflix, facebook, online indie games.
