First let me say I own a 360 and pay for live, but I started thinking, PC, Nintendo and Sony all offer online for free, and when I compared the online experience to XBL heres what I came up with
XBL, is pretty, nice looking set up..... thats about it though, everything else is capable of on any other platform for online.
Downloads, demos, updates, msgs, voice chat, wall papers and themes....most of which are free btw
PC and Sony can do mods, they have supported servers and have a lot less lag, there's almost no periods where online is down, definitely no where near as frequent as XBL.
They go down about 4-5 times a year for updates and then we had the holidays fiasco where people who finally get the time to play videogames couldn't appreaciate XBL.
I do like the arcade games they have to offer and I'm looking forward to Golden Eye and Banjo but who's to say the other platforms won't do something like this?
I don't know, 50 bucks a year isn't too much but when I see fanboys going on about how superior XBL is than regular online I get annoyed, I kind of spite my 360 because of the lemmings on these forums

how is $599 USD justifiable? It's not.
