Then why are us Xbox owners forced to pay $50 a year for Live? Live is a great service. Its community based and a whole lot of fun. But would M$ hurt in anyway making Live free? Sure you can say "its worth it" or "gotta pay to play" but cmon now, its getting a little ridiculous. I believe online gaming should be free as free as the air we breathe. If they want to charge DLC so be it! but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Mugen out.
