Xbox Live Gold is a great service, really. It offers plenty enough to justify the cost.
Where the "hate" comes from, is simply with the online gaming. In my opinion, online gaming simply shouldnt be part of the subscription. While the consumer keeps bending over and accepting it though, then really, Microsoft would be incredibly stupid to change it.
The competitions fans poke fun at Gold because the competition is "better" for letting you have a free online service. They're "higher up" because they get something very similar for free.
Xbox fans really dont give a shit, because they very likely get the moneys worth out of the Yearly subscription. It just gets annoying with the constant "rip off" chants.
