I'm pretty sure plenty of people has been giving reasons already and has been telling you why including me.  Don't understand why you keep asking the same question.  Either you will agree or disagree with this article, but it's still not going to change a thing.  You know I could just as easily create a thread to generate flame wars, and then keep it a live by responding to everybody I don't agree with.

Huh? Not a single person has addressed it. You've mentioned the service itself, but not the idea of locking out multiplayer content that is on disc.

That's what I want you to address, not the entirety of XBL(G). This is why I keep saying it isn't the price that is the issue. 


Service includes Online.  It is a good online infrastructure.  Better than competeing services and yes I own all including

XBLG
PSN
Steam
Origin
Usoft

Am I missing any?

XBLG offers a quick, easy to access online using servers that they provide. Everything from the dashboard, messaging, to XBL Party chat is quick and easy. You are not forced to use ping where multiplayer becomes based off how good your ping is like Origin, Usoft, and Steam games.  PSN has been confusing, slow, and too many steps to even invite friends.  I remember playing Killzone 2 and it was a pain just inviting friends to the room.  Should we make threads about all of these things? Do you think MSFT is holding a gun to your head telling you have to buy XBLG? No, you have the choice but because you and other people choose differently that gives you the right to complain about it and say a successful service is bad?

And anybody who has listened to me say anything on these forums knows I love steam but I still like XBL for the things it does in multiplayer regardless of how much I like steam.

And if we are going to start playing a what if game, what if Sony starts charging for online next generation?  Then what happens?  Maybe I should just go make a thread about that?  It would be more original than this thread that has been alone created about 20 times in the last 2 months.
