Ummm, MS has spent almost $2 Billion on the XBL service. If it was so easy, and could be done for free, why isn't Sony doing it then? Obviously it's not so easy and definitely not free to implement.
Were did you get that MS spent 2 billions on live?
They charge you $50 for a body list,and voice in all games and a year fee after the year is up,just to have lag and to have cheaters as well in the end,i remember when socom was having cheaters how MS was screaming that live was cheat free.
I realy prefer it to be free most online games on PC and almost all on PS2 are free,if sony did it i don't know why MS can't and now they have confirmed that on xbox 360 most downloads will cost money,is even worst.
If sony does the same i may have to stay away from online play.
