  1. You mean I still have to pay... by Zangief · · Score: -1, Troll

    for Xbox live, on top of the $400 dollars I will already have paid?

    So, the fully functional Xbox 360 is $460 US dollars?

    Ooooh, I see, I see, This is for the regular xbox. Not trying to spread FUD here, no sir.

    I dont understand why -any- console game would charge money for an online experience. Your already pushing 50-60 bucks into the fucking game. I havnt payed for online experience with a PC game since my last mmorpg, so why consoles? There servers are all the same, theres not some magical console server that costs more! Just more ways to bleed the customer out of there money. By the way, to the person said they would take a 500 dollar console over a pc is crazy. A console can only do -one- thing well, and thats play games. Not only do you have to pay for the console, you have to buy memory cards, a hard drive, overpriced games, a network adapter, more controllers, a television, another video adapter if you want a better looking picture and so on. All this adds up, i could build you a 800 dollar computer that would put any online console game into the 'shit' category.
