| BMaker11 said: You're missing the point that XBL was entirely unnecessary for any of that. Before the policy reversal, you were still paying to use stuff you already paid for (in this case, your ESPN partnered ISP giving you lots of sports). Whoop-de-doo. The operating system actually works, so you can chat with your friends. But was XBL necessary to watch ESPN together? Nope. Nothing in return. All those things you just needed an internet connection for, Xbox fans said it was ok to tack on another fee to use them. Did you know that Internet Explorer was behind XBL? As in, you pay for your internet, then you have to pay again to use it on Xbox. This is the issue that thismeintel brought up and that I expounded on. Xbox fans continuously support putting content behind paywalls, making your initial investments worth a whole lot less, and you get nothing in return for it. It's a slippery slope

I was ok with the fee. I used to play Fifa online and loved watching my sports in one place.
So I paid the cost to be the boss. XD
The argument of value is idiotic (no insult,im talking in general) and it shouldn't even be a debate here.
I wouldn't pay a $5 for a FF game because I see no value in it. But who am I to judge taste and preferences?
I love XBL and I been subbed for a while. I wouldn't change it for any of the competition subs.
