Why would I want to stop paying for live, for no reason (because this would NEVER take off) when I'm perfectly fine shelling out £40 a year (it's peanuts, really)?

Always made me laugh how much PS3/Wii folk absoloutely HATE Live subscription, if Sony and Nintendo love their fans as much as you all make out, you have nothing to worry about right? and if you like the 360 library, most of the games are on Steam, so just play on steam and quit whining?

You know, maybe Sony and Nintendo have... pressure to do the same? Surely they are seeking to charge for online play, they just can't do it right now. It's a lot easier to charge for something when someone's already charged for it.

Why? Nintendo absoloutely rake it in, they prove more profit is to be made in careful HW decisions and good SW choices.
