MS Price Hike
thats pretty messed up IMO, I can't say I did not see it coming, but I still find it pretty F'd up.

What quality? your paying for Peer to Peer, MS does nothing more than Matchmake you with other players.. I dont get why they charge in the first place, much less why they need to ask for more money...
Yes, but how much is it reasonable to charge for something like that? Just like how much should an OS cost? Well that´s that’s purely up to ms to decide
There have been plenty of issues with cheating, and users that suddenly couldn’t lock on for some reason.
So what are live-customers really paying for, if they get roughly the same or less benefits than PC or PS2 online gamers?

Use Linux if you feel so strongly about it (for desktop users this is actually an alternative imo).

an platform which is cooersive for online games. and a lot less f the problems which plague PC space a little too much
LisaJoy said:So why again are they paying more?
PC- we get a constant barrage of fresh content, and the ability to make our own
Xbox- you get very little, and when you do, they usually charge you a fee for it(Mech Assault anyone?)
Ask your mom, on her own, to buy, set-up, and configure a PC (and then the individual games) so that it's rigged for internet play.

Teasy said:Its perfectly legal obviously, but that doesn't mean people can't be pissed at MS for doing it.
But of course...no one is "thankful" to MS for taking (IIRC) the largest loss per console sold...right?
It doesn't actually matter if people are pissed off or not. What matters is will enough people not be so pissed off that they won't pay for it.
