Yeah this is a tough one. Initially I want to think it's no big deal for the reasons that others have mentioned BUT this is Bungie. I mean the 117 thing is what makes me flip-flop, why 117 if it's not Halo related? Gotta hand it to Bungie though, they know how to get the nerds riled up.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
