I'm not poor I bought a friggin' PS3 to play online. The price I paid my PS3 wouldn't even afford 3 yrs of XBL Gold. Screw M$. I was gonna get Halo 4 but I can now live without. 60 $ a year is too much money for a service that should be included, period
M$ is changing for the worst, this is how I envision the future of Xbox ever since learning Spartan Ops is only playable online:
Say what you may, it's a small gesture but it speaks very loud and clear about the direction of M$ is taking and it makes me want to run the opposite way.
