I payed $20 bucks a month for Seganet on Dreamcast and it was worth every penny!!! I pay like 4 bucks a month for Xbox live and its really worth it! I mean who in the fuck can't afford 4 buck a month?

All the people that bitch about it.  Also there are plenty of offline games on the 360 its not like the 360 doesn't work without a gold account.

Microsoft only allows you to download games and play the non-online aspects of games without Gold. To deny gold is to deny the mass majority of the 360 experience.

Just because a game has a online mode doesn't mean that you have to play it to get the full experience of a game.  As a matter of fact games that relies heavily on online can only be enjoyed for a limited time because eventually the online mode will cease to exist.  A game that is only online like MAG and WoW will eventually become useless and be nothing more then a coaster.
