Havent COWS been CARRYING ON about "OPTIONS!" since the launch of PSN+ ?!

Guess what? XBL is an OPTION too, let alone a MUCH more superior service than the PSN.

$250 over the course of 5 years is nothing. This is not news, nor is it 'ownage' of any type.

I don't know about him but on 2006 paying $600 for a PS3 felt great for me.

Price of stand alone blu-ray player on 2006,up to $1,000.

Price of a top of the line console on 2006 $400 without online play.

Both up to $1,450 wiht online play,and i got all that for $600 that is great,considering that the other top of the line console is also full of sub HD games games.

What service will you return for the monies being sent? It would have to be something of equal value, or else you would receive nothing.

I have spent more than that in one night of drinking while out with friends. Clearly all Cows must be poor, which is amusing considering they're always going on about how people werent buying as many PS3's as Xbox 360s because they couldn't afford them.

They are exactly the same, bud. Paying for a service, how does that make you feel? Live is a service you are paying for just like cable/satellite television.

XBL is a subscription service, So is cable TV. Does anyone add up the total amount of money over the course of a few years of paying for cable?

Probably. but in the long run if you want cable that's what you'll do. Or you'll be busting out the antenna and rocking good ol OTA TV.

Your opening question is how do people feel about having payed $250 over five years for a service. The point has been made that if a service is worth it's price then the price is justified.

If a service were not worth the monies being spent, they would not be spent. Pretty simple, pretty easy.

in the uk we have to pay £170 a year just for a license to own a TV by law. so i agree the pittance the xbl cost is nothing

No it isn't, Your only paying to play online the service is free. Your confusing XBL with Gold. Not the same thing.

Yes, all 360 games are in fake HD rite? And no PS3 game is in native 1080p rite? And yea, XBL costs too much.
