I noticed that too. $35-60 a year is nothing to someone with a job. Maybe it might be to someone who has to ask their parents for money. 


Ehh. I don't believe that. I am no child at this point in my life but I still hate paying for XBL... and haven't in well over two years now (as Halo:Reach was the last game my friends and I played over the net on xbox, and we haven't done so in a long time and moved to other games). Its not money that's the issue, I just don't see value in it and think its more a con than anything else. What is offered there I already have, for free, at my finger tips on my PC which I have interconnected across my whole network and can access from anywhere in my house or TV.

That cost me... what a spool of CAT5?

Also the "free" games they "give" have a transient nature to them that I dislike (and, more than likely, I already owned all the games I wanted to play when they released, and as such this offers zero value to me in its entirety aside from some oddball game that escaped notice). I was taught that nothing is free if price is attached somewhere, either way money is spent and never saved, just less spent.
