Wait...do you have an ESPN3 ISP affiliate for your internet, then? I just saw on the ESPN App's page on Xbox.com that for live and On-Demand games, you log in with an ESPN3.com-affiliated internet service provider.
That just means, though, that you pay for your internet and your ISP provides you with the perk of all those games by being partnered with ESPN. That has nothing to do with Microsoft "give you anything in return". Long story short, you have to log in in some manner to the ESPN App via a service you already pay for to get the sports (whether it be your television provider or apparently, select ISPs). What, do you think if you just get XBL, you get a bunch of free basketball, baseball, football, etc? No, you have to already pay for that in some way, then pay for XBL again to access the ESPN App to watch what you have already paid for......before the policy reversal

$32 dollars a year for XBL ain't nothing to a G.
Instead of buying the rights to matches from sports association for a fee, which would not be small, why not partner up with Sky or ESPN to offer sport matches exclusively to your subscribers?
Which also, would allow me to party chat with a friend in New York, to watch the same game and trash talk while we both enjoy it. I don't think that's "nothing in return" to me.

Guess what? I can watch all those football matches, as well as other sports, and also Skype with my friends everywhere just for the price of Internet.
Not only don't I need to pay for XBL Gold, I don't even need to have an XBox console.
So, I don't see what you are bragging about.
