    That is the way it should be. Xbox users have to pay to play online, so there should be added benefits.

    Added benefits? You do realize that we will HAVE to pay for this, right?

    I am going to ballpark it somewhere around 800MS, maybe 1200MS.

    $200-$500 for console
    $60 for games
    $50 for 1 year XBL
    And on top of that, to get any decent clothing on our, rather stupid avatar idea, we have to pay MORE.

    Oh, and also themes/expansion to games/etc etc.

    I am surprised they haven't started charging us to download demos yet..

    That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You pay for online for a better experience online, not exclusive content. Exclusive content is the result of MS handing over a HUGE check to Activision for the timed exclusivity. Whoop-di-doo! If you're not happy with paying for online usage, buy a PC or PS3. :p

    Yes I believe it is just like 90% of all the other 360 "exclusives" MS presented yesterday. MS uses the term 360 exclusive very loosely.

    Ya, we basically have to pay for anything we want. Which is why I stopped buying large amount of games on the 360 and just buy them on the PC, and find a way to keep more HD space, lol. (Need to buy another External HD :rolleyes: )
