They also announced the timed exclusive DLC in june. http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/06/15/call-of-duty-black-ops-dlc-map-packs-on-xbox-360-first/

its missing from the op post. Perhaps this small fee is in payment for the timed exclusive DLC for 2 years. Which is what MS should be doing with our money. Making live better than its competitors by bringing in more content before they can.

To my other point about comparing it to cable, where on your aggreeement does it say where your money goes? Why expect the same from MS? I have never had a contract for a service such as cable break down which channnel gets which money. You just pay for a service or package and get what you get, just like live. You pay for live service and get access to its feautures. There is no need to know where your money went, just that you got what you paid for.

So you think for you to be pleased on Live, PSN shouldn't have the same features?

Maybe to gloat about why it's worth to pay a game per year on fee?

I do not care about PSN yet, i do not have a ps3. But the fact is if you have live you will play map packs sooner than if you play on ps3. Thats a plus is it not?

 

I already said what please me with live. All i want is how they do matchmaking, and now i enjoy netfilx too. I have payed the same for live since they launched it on xbox and since than all they have done is add more and more features. I figured we were long over do for a price increase as i thought it was a steal before because i enjoy the match making so much.

If you do not enjoy live so be it. Its a great service for match making, the best I have ever used any where on any platform. I do not see any service coming close to it in the near future. At least for what I want in an online service.

 

I also do not care how they spend the money i give them as its their choice. I do not care how any company spends my dollars so long as i get what i wanted from them and the money is not used for some illegal act. But in the case of MS for live to me it looks like most money goes back to improving the service. Even if that means exclusive content for games i may not play. I probably wont even get tha map packs as i do not enjoy CoD as much as Halo and I only have so much time for onlline gaming as i enjoy single player more.

I have no problem with Live, altough i wouldn't pay to play online a game i already paied...

My observation were just to the fact that you were rejoicing that they could use the money to buy exclusive content and make the game on Xbox better than on PS and this way screw the other system users... if you just did said, you were happy your money were used to make better games (for you or everyone) i would have no problem... but the way you said closely resembled fanboyism.
