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.

Thank you for your convoluated argument.

Its hilarious, you're under the illusion MS is fooling us to pay for a service that you feel should be free. People pay for Live because it offers things we want that the free services do not. I personally feel a service like Live can only be this successful when the competition is weak. In the case of PS3, very weak exclusive multiplayer games. And god knows they've tried to compete.
