I think we get milked no matter. I think we get milked on accesories with the 360, milked on promises with the PS3 (ifs and coulds) and milked on lack of features for the Wii.

Without a doubt MS this gen.

$50 for Live ( ok it's a good service I'll let it slide)
Overpriced HDDs (the pricing makes little sense as well)
Overpriced Wifi adapter
Play and Charge kits
No SKU with a standard HDD
Microstransactions

I'm sure theres more but those are the big ones for me.

changing my answer. It's a Tie: EA Sports and 2K. They are both slacking hard with their incremental sports games. Look at some of the bigger sports franchises from 2005 to 2008. Little to no improvement and they expect people to keep paying $60 for that garbage. serious milkage.

Well lets see... Probally going to have to go with Microsoft, although I love my Xbox 360 I have to admit their accessories and microtransaction stuff is a bit pricey, although as far as accessories go they're worth it... Microtransaction-wise it can get pretty cheap, paying for themes and gamerpics just seems wrong, that type of stuff should be free, rewards for achievements, rewards for pre-orders, playing the game on day one, etc. Also map-packs, expansions, etc. prices can sometimes get a lil too high. As far as map-packs anyways I think they should adopt Bungie's idea, buy'em if you want but if you wait like 3 months they become free...

You mean like when sony said that Fable will be the greatest game ever made or like when they said when Halo 2 is launched the world would explode, or like when Sony said they will reach over a billion consumers with xbox360?

Please son, you can't use "hype" as an excuse for milkage especially when all other companies do as well.

Don't try to change what the term "MILKED" means now that it only applies to the company you probably support. The term "milked" was created to discribe how a company leaches "MONEY" out of it's consumers and nothing else. And we all know that MS is the only company who truly fits that discription now. To a smaller extent you might say Nintendo with the wii hardware, but it's not even a comparion to MS were everything you freckin buy is a ripoff.

How are those mods comming UT3 on xbox360?....Oh wait because MS is dead set on raping it's customers on every single scrap of content their customers receive this game might not even come out on xbox360. Now that's milkage.

But last gen xbox was actually a pretty good deal. except from milking you for 30$ to be able to use your dvd with that remote and $50 for xboxlive (tho it's not as bad as compaired to now since Sony and Nintendo didn't offer complete online services)

but I guess MS is makeing up for that now...

Gosh it looks like my first post said that "MS Milks the ad ons." Isn't that point of your foot stomping, adolescent rant? So you're either not smart enough to read more than four words at a time, or your inner sony fanboy took over when you read the Sony part. This was a fun thread till you had to come in here and take it too seriuosly. BTW, don't decide that someone is a fanboy because they have a gamertag in their sig. It makes you look like an ass.

Well thats what business is about and look how successful they are! So you can't be mad at them, they are just trying to make a buck just like everyone else.

I agree.

What is unfortunate though is I bet eventually Sony and Nintendo might follow suit. Hopefully not, but I think it could very well happen. Especially once Home and in-game XMB gets here. That would suck, but I think it's certainly a possibility.

Well, you can be mad at 'em. Dude, you're a consumer man. Most people in MS probably own suits that costs more than people like us make in a year. Why shouldnt you be mad that instead of playing games online for free, you're instead giving them $50 (which is much more to the average Joe than it is to Microsoft) to play online.

I mean, like you said, it is business. But at the same time, the buck they are making comes from you... even when it should be free. That's my opinion.

360 = milkage

PS3 and Wii = you don't get milked since milkage means charge for everything you can.

I say whoever make those crappy little peripherals for the wii remote, they p**s me off majorly. I always see stuff like the golf/gun/tennis/tabletennis etc etc. You need none of those things.

M$. At least sony put some of the stuff on thier console. M$ decided to make everything an addon not to mention charges for online.
