@Marky360 You paid, even if it was only for a year, and that was my point. (NOT TO BE READ AS AN INSULT!) I had my 360 for years without XBL. Then SFIV came out and I wanted to play with people I knew when we weren't just hanging out after work. I see your point though, free is sometimes better.
@Marky360 If you owned both systems, then you'd be used to having to pay for live by now. Most 360 exclusives aren't worth it unless you're on Live in the first place.
Look at it this way. If you're a fan of the series, and you own both consoles, which system would you buy the game for? Numbers rule this generation, and having 1.5 million more sales than your competition helps.
If the $199 version still has 16GB of memory, I might have to delay my Nexus 7 purchase until the next version. I really only want one to have an extra "screen" around the house, so the CPU shouldn't bother me much.
