The $50 Xbox Live fee is easily offset the need for the HDMI cable and the Blue Tooth Head Set not included with the PS3. Also, all new Xbox Live accounts get 1-month free of Xbox Live, to try it out. A super demo you could say. So lets see, to play GTA IV online with a new Xbox 360 is $470 (Premium + game), to play GTA IV online with the PS3 it is $719 (PS3 @$599+ HDMI cable @$10 + Blue Tooth Heasdest at $50 + game @$60). That is a $249 difference. If the consumer enjoys Xbox Live, they can then choose to buy Xbox Live for $50 and the difference is now $200. Explain to me where I jacked up the price for the PS3 package. Now with that $200 difference a new Xbox 360 owner could also get Halo 3, and Assassin's Creed, and Half Life 2 Orange. And it is still cheaper than the PS3 package with only GTA IV.
