Ive been paying for Xbox for a long time, and I never had any problems with paying for live.

This will not end well.

I thought that was a pro 360 comment from Justin.

$50 is the normal price for LIVE, but there are many places where you can find it for less.

Its 38.99 at my local costco.  A whole dollare cheaper!   To some people thats almost a crappy used game game over a generations period!! 

You know the last time someone called me a fanboy was like 6-9 months ago.  I remember it clearly as though it were yesterday.  It was Zenfolder calling me a PS3 fanboy.  Good times.

Oh yeah, your analogy is flawed because that 25% hamburger isn't getting better every day.  It's getting moldy and nasty.

Just like Live huh :p

What are you guys...communist? LOL...

Xbox Live is horribly over-priced. I have to pay a whole 50 pence a week and all I get in return is this: -

Party mode for up to 8 players
6 communication channels that you can switch between at any one time (the game, party, 3 private voice chat channels, video chat)
Cross-game chat
Private voice chat
Proper invites/join system for every game
Voice messaging
Netflix streaming
Reputation system so you can ignore or prefer players globally
Report system for reporting abuse through the console itself
Inside Xbox that provides free video shows such as SentUAMessage
The ability to see what game your friends are playing and what exactly they're doing in that game
1 Vs. 100, a multiplayer quiz show with prizes
Leaderboards built into the dashboard that use Live data to show high score tables without you having to launch the game
Demos of every single downloadable title (one thing I hate about PSN)
Windows Live Messenger support, so you can chat to your friends via any device that can run that
Cheaper DLC quite often, the COD map packs being one example (£1.19 more expensive per pack on PSN)
New games added to the XBLA every week

Plus all the other minor bits and pieces that make Live superior to PSN.

What a rip-off! I'm not gonna pay for Live anymore. I'm going to spend the money on Mars bars instead. I can have 1 a week. Yippeeeeee!!!

^Or you can give one new game to me, just the same price for a year of Live more or less, I don't mind. You'd rather eat a Mars bar each day, and I'd rather have 5 or 6 full-price games more than you when everything is said and done this gen.
