If you can't afford to drop $500 on a product, you probably shouldn't be considering purchasing it in the first place, let alone considering installment plans.

What makes sense for large purchases (cars, houses) does not make much sense for small purchases

 

Are you aware of mobile/cell phone plans? Sure, some phones can be $2000 but a majority would surely be closer to the neXbox price range than not.

Sad that you relate these two. Just sad.

No service fee for PS, Ninty, or PC/Mac.

Think about it.

Yeah damn MS for giving consumers options.

Options are good and this is a brilliant plan from a marketing standpoint. 

However, it does not negate the sad truth of a service attached to a gaming console. 

Do you want all consoles to go this route?

Is this another XBLG complaint? lol. Are all the consoles in your question going to have a service as great as XBLG? If so, then yes, that would be fantastic.

If you're just talking about the monthly fee in this subscription package then who cares? It will either appeal to you or it won't. I don't care if all consoles adopt it, nothing would change for me and nothing changes for you either. Not seeing where the "sad" comes in.

By the way, per usual, Sega was way ahead of the competition with this.
