Well in this case its much like your poll...

But mostly because MS is greedy and the 360 users will buy it anyways becuase they have no choice.

Because they want money for it. If Sony wanted more money, they could charge for PSN.

Xbox Live raked in $1.2 Billion last year, it's like free monies...in that other announcement, I guess $1.2 BILLION wasn't enough, so that's probably why there was a hike.

Because half the kids above the age of 10 don't care about paying for part of the game that THEY ALREADY PAID FOR as long as it is rated M and has blood, guns, f-bombs, and more guns. -_-

(I have absolutely no resentment towards this at all right?) :P

The online system is better in my opinion really you are paying $4.17 per month to play online which is 3 times less than a monthly subscription to world of warcraft which millions of people pay every month to play.

XBOX Live has gross margins estimated at 65%.
