It's not like MS is making you pay for it you have a choice of whether or not you want Xbox Live Gold and the extra features you get in doing so. If online was free in Silver then i wouldn't pay for gold either.


Thats the point. Microsoft knows the online multiplayer is what everyone wants, so then rather than finding an alternative value for a "premium service" which isnt premium at all, they lock you out of your multiplayer gaming and offer you services that people already pay for that they could watch else where in higher resolution. Most of the must have exclusives (three games specificially) on the 360 are multiplayer heavy games, so Microsoft knows that if you want them you must pay.
