Oh, and if we want to talk about greedy, we should remember that:

- MS does online advertising in Xbox Live, despite the fact that it's a paid service
- People are already paying for the games, which on any other platform entitles you to play online
- Many (almost all?) of the games are actually played by P2P connections, requiring few or zero servers at Microsoft.

If it provides something so I wouldn't have to go through the laughably ridiculous hoops and ladders your sig indicates, then I'm for it all the way. By the way, moving past the two or three ads on the dashboard requires moving the left thumbstick with your thumb. Oh the humanity!

So your defense is to comment on friend codes (which only one competing platform uses) and saying the ads are no big deal...
