 How a company makes you pay so that you can communicate with your friends just seems down right disgusting to me.

I stopped reading here.

If everyone thought like you then I wouldn't be surprised if companies somehow started charging us for talking to our friends face to face. How you find paying to talk to your friends normal is odd to me. You pay for the xbox, then you pay for a headset thinking that you can use party chat. But then you have to pay every month for it.

Eveyone does think like me!!! You pay for goods and services!!! Hell, I don't even kow you and you pay to use your internet to communicate wit me right now!! Do you pay for a phone? Mobile and landline? Foolish statement.

phones are mobile and can be carried anywhere. I don't know about you, but I haven't seen people carrying their Xbox and headset on outside talking to people. And as for your paying for internet comment, this just goes back to the way Microsoft is being greedy. So I pay for internet and then I buy a console and finaly I have to pay to use my internet connection AGAIN? No my friend, you don't think like me.

I said mobile AND LANDLINE! Do you take your, now read carefully, HOME PHONE with you everywhere? Oh, you pay for a house on a mortgage? Must take that everywhere with you too? You pay for it so you must be able to use it all the time no matter where you are? I'm glad I don't think like you.

 

People pay for netflix and other internet based subscriptions? Why rip on xbl??

Because XBL forces you to pay for Gold even if all you want to do is pay for netflix. How do you find that normal?! No sane person can justify the way Microsoft does this.

You didn't reply to the first bit. 10 million or whatever people on WoW say hi. It's common now. Get with the times.
