I wouldn't pay for Live. Paying for MP is the single only reason why I haven't got an X360. I really (and I mean really) wanted to get one a few years ago, before the PS3 price cut. I wanted it to be my go-to console this gen, it was affordable, had cool games, I've just played GeoW on my PC and I loved it, my Canadian friend told me that Halo 3 was the best online game ever. I really wanted to get it, but... No. Just no. I refuse to pay for MP. I'd rather spend that money on games for PS3. So this is one X360 that would get sold years ago and would give MS many games bought. Instead I went with PS3 and gave my money to Sony. I still plan to get an X360 next year to play those 8-10 exclusives, but MS is going to get just small change from what Sony got from me, cause I will buy the console only if they make a huge price cut and buy the games heavily discounted or even used.
Guess you have to bear with the consequences of your business moves.
