Great, now I may register Gears on the PC. Man, paying for online sucks a lot, sorry for you 360 gamers.

MS had no choice to do this since Steam and Xfire are stealing away gamers from them.

Competition is good.

We now have Impulse, Steam, Xfire (though its more of a "companion"), and now GFW that are all good viable choices.

Paying for Live and RROD (and the proprietary hdd's) are really the only things I dislike about the 360. The U/I is good, the games are good, the controller is nice, but I ain't paying for online, and I'm not gonna deal with hardware failure. Once Jasper launches (hopefully the 60gb that comes out in like 2 weeks) paying for online play will be the only thing holding the 360 back.
