Would you prefer if your clothes were free? Don't you wish food was free? But what if the free options don't appeal to me as much as affordable pay options?
We pay because it gives us access to what we prefer. Also, its not a significant amount of money. Especially compared to other entertainment expenses.
This isn't about pride, this is people paying for a service they prefer on hardware they prefer.

If I were an XBL user, I'd simply prefer to receive for free what's free everywhere else (basic multiplayer, etc) and having to pay, if I want, only for the extra features and improvements the others don't offer for free or even haven't available at all. Plain and simple.

Nobody cares what would make the service ideal for you. This is what it is, you need to pay Gold to access ALL streaming and online gaming features. Whether it be exclusive or not.
We get it, you feel entitled to free online services and can get somewhere else. But since the 360 has exclusive content many of us enjoy, that is valid reason for us to pay the Gold fee.
|
Question, what exclusive content?
|
Answer, apps you won't find on other platforms and exclusive games.
An example, Halo 4. A very sexy game that you can't play it online for free anywhere.
|
Apps? Really? You act like Sony and Nintendo dont have the ones that matter. Halo 4 isnt an argument, its a game and Microsoft locks you out from playing it online if you dont pay them ontop of buying the game.
|
The 360 has the ones that matter and more that matter to people who want those apps.
Halo 4 absolutely is an argument. I can't play it anywhere else or for free and its a reason I feel Gold is worth having.
Just give up, you aren't winning this argument.

What does that even mean? The 360 has the ones that matter? Halo is a selling point for the console and Sony has the same multiplats that can be played without paying for online. Halo 4 is not an argument, it is a game. An online perk, is an online perk (online enhancers, innovative applications, etc.)...keep games out of it. Focus on the online (Unless you can explain how Xbox Lives amazing service enhances the online playability of games.) You're arguing that Halo makes the Xbox 360 the more valuable console, not exactly the most valuable online service.
