and yet people still pay for XBL.

astonishing....

I'm glad they will be doing a report into violence in video games.

So when it comes back showing no link (yet again), this issue might be put away for another few years.

@5000man GW2 hasn't got a sub fee.

@Supabul @andrewwittmaier i felt the exact same when i played the beta.

The combat was incredibly fun, but the rest of the game's rather blandness, didn't allow me to justify paying a sub fee.

FINALLY!

Been waiting for this, and now i can play this game :)

@pratikmilkybar you paid $4000 for your PC?

idk if ripped off, but it sounds like you've been ripped off o.0

@superbuuman remember the visuals are stretched out for our monitors, so it's bound to look pixel-ly.

But if you're talking about textures etc, then i can only guess they wanted to keep it as 'pokemon' as possible.

it looks ridiculous...

but sounds interesting.

@Phatjam98 @shingui5 strange that Nintendo/PS3 do the same for free.

I guess their engineers are slaves or something, since there isn't a horde of people paying an arbitrary fee :/

Although, i guess you know the complete inner-workings of how XBL operates, the complete list of costings and how much Microsoft needs to charge to keep the service up and running, and if you indeed to know these things, i would like a source of where you found them, so i cna judge for myself.

Because if you didn't know these things, one could assume you're speaking trite nonsense in your desperate attempt to justify being ripped off, and liking it.

@DrFrogg sounds like buying a Gold subscription.
