Even with a few games using servers on XBL, it in no way justifies 50 dollars a year (didn't it recently go up to 60?) I mean that's a few games to me, I don't mind seeing some banner ads to play my games online, but Xbox Live has ads and subscription fees and I don't quite understand the true need for any of that. I see the cost effective thing but its like "we're already paying you guys 60 dollars (typically) per game, the least you could do is let me play online for a few hours till I get bored" lol |
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying for Live, but if it would stay exactly the same as it is now and be free, that would be wonderful. I get an absolute ton of game time playing with friends in parties in CoD, Halo, etc. Just a really nice system for getting into games with your buds with great ease and the communication capabilaties are top notch. On the other hand, I can definitely see where gamers would be miffed about paying for this stuff.
As far as ads go, I really don't notice them to be honest, at least intrusive ones. I don't consider panels letting people know what game content is available on their marketplace as intrusive advertisement. I find them useful.
