I don't like that I buy a game and i am unable to fully experience its components unless I pay extra for live.
Everything else is great is great but I find it a slap in the face to pay to just play online. It is free everywhere else

^ not everywhere else.

Easily worth the $30 I pay every year (Love you buy.com and CAG!)

for some people its worth it, for others it not --- simples

If only that had been the first reply and then the thread locked.

And please no more with the meerkat.

 True. But enough of the competitors to illustrate that it's not a requirement, because say what you will about all the bells and whistles, I can play any online game as much as I want for free on the PC, Wii and PS3 I don't buy that bullshit about lagg and connection issuse on the afore mentioned.

^ But it's on the PC where you can't play any online game out there for free.

Strikes me as odd that thats acceptable but on a console it's not. Seems to me that's bullshit. Or is it just fanboy nonsense that on a 360 its not and if Sony had done this it would be fine.

What are you talking about? I have been playing my PC games for free all my life. With the new exceptions such as WoW and others ( which are entirely online games).

Trust me if Sony was forcing you to pay and M$ wasn't...I'd be apart of Xbox camp any day.

is it worth it? that is all in the eye of the beholder.
