Given that a lot of 360's more mainstream usage came from annual titles like CoD or Madden (that are then resold towards next year's purchase) this is not going to go over well.

Between this and having to go online to activate the thing in the first place (probably not an issue with COD so much, but I'm assuming there are still some "Madden gamers" who live out in the sticks with bad/no online) it seems a good way to piss away their "sure fire" domination of the US market.


No way. They said the same thing about xbox live. Americans now love paying for xbox live. These new fees and regulations will mean nothing to them. They will pay whatever MS ask them to.

Good move by MS I think.

Not so sure about most of mainland Europe or Japan (and I believe MS lost a lot of sales in these regions because of  fees) but it's not like they will be losing out a great deal there. The extra money they get out of the US will surely recoup that loss.
