i love destructoid

Seriously?

Microsoft REALLY better come with MORE features than what they have now. 60 bucks a year for cross-game chat/Party chat.

I just can't do it.

lmao we still got online for free while they pay $60 buck

Alright first and foremost you should pay that $60 because your (anyone who goes to a retailer like Gamestop, Walmart) stupid enough to go to a retailer to buy a year's worth of live. Have you ever heard a little place called AMAZON.COM. they will sell you 12 months for only $35. Be a smart consumer not a retart. Also if I did pay $60 live will more than make up for that cost. Why? because I pay $20 a month for a premium sports package but not any more because of the ESPN and live deal.

Don't moan if you don't have it simple... don't affect me

I never care about the XBR but DAMN they're being anally-raped by Buyer's Remorse.

I've decided not to repair my 360, it's not worthit. 60$ Comon.
I don't like how people go into the business point of view.
What are you? EXACTLY

Exactly. Some guy said "from a business standpoint"...
BUT WE'RE ALL GAMERS!
From a gamer standpoint, it's a rip-off. Plain and simple.

Uhh...this pisses me off.... Im just gonna go buy 2 years of live right now but seriously, MS is starting to turn into Activision....money hungry whores...

And people ask me why i don't support Microsoft's console

Just watch, MLD will say "M$ IZ MAKING MOAR MONEYZZZ NAOW!"
360 fanboys don't seem to know when they are being scammed.

Ugh.. I may not renew my yearly subscription to XBL in October...

It's funny how PC gamers don't have to pay a penny to Microsoft...

yh because the 360 doesnt give you a choice. if you need online YOU have to get it with your money................


ironic take the 3 out of 360 and what do you get.....

How sad is it that you have to pay the price of a game a year just to play the online portion of a game you paid $60 for already?

As I said, XBL Gold if for the most hardcore online gamer.

Amazon won't be supporting Xbox Live subscription cards anymore..

I hate Microsoft. Another example of their fails. Seriously, announce something before raising the price! And hell, we've had nothing more from Microsoft. This is completely out of the blue.
In 2011 I'm half certain Sony are going to pwn Microsoft. And this is coming from a mega-360 fanboy.

Well i feel a little bit sorry for the 360 owners, who get now that they have been screwed over, imagine Sony would start to take money for online... as a single consumer you just cant defende yourself against this kind of crap... the only thing you can do is stop playing... after you spend so much money on games for the console... this sucks.

ROFL no its not!!!

But I think Microsoft needs to rethink what they are doing.... charging 10 bucks more mainly for a bunch of Kinect centered upgrades to live? Bull shit. Think about your main consumers, M$.
