Xbox Live is completely fine for 360 (no pun intended) or so days of the year, and some of these new users are going to get bad first impressions of the Xbox Live system.
It would be nice if I could play games though, my disc tray will not stay shut and I cannot play any of my new games, woohoo!
I used to play Maple Story (the Global version) and I have to say, people do pay for these "Microstransactions". You can pay money via Paypal which is then transferred into "NX Cash" which goes into your account, and then you can buy items in the "Cash Shop" such as Clothes (that cover your equipment, but you still get the skill bonuses from it) and things that help incredibly with the game, such as a permit which allows you to sell your items. I have to admit I did purchase some of the said NX Cash, and I see nothing wrong with doing so, especially because the game is free in the first place.

Sorry that should be Maple Story in the title.

It is much like that in England aswell, and I agree whole-heartedly with you, maybe not about the bit with Giant Bees though.
