its a slap in the face because not only can MS charge for what should be free( according to some people), but they can increase the fee for it and people will still pay. Of course that is because its such a great service (at least in my opinion, worth every penny even after the increase.

It's still not a slap in the face..., it would be a slap in the face to Sony if MS makes XBL free.

And honestly, I think MS has to charge for XBL to be profitable with it, because AFAIK Sony isn't profitable with the PSN overall (including PSN purchases, etc). But I could be wrong about that...

When you look at all the revinue it brings in, and at the financials of the ps3 I think it can be considerd a slap in the face, just a little. I am almost a 100% sure that sony will charge something for online next gen. I kind of think the live increase this gen was more paving the way for ms next gen to be honest though.
