Shishka, so what if I agreed to a TOS, I also agreed that I could terminate my service at anytime...I don't mind paying for the maps but shouldn't we have a choice of retailers from which we can buy our maps. That's my only complaint. I don't have to buy my games from one retailer. If so, I wouldn't be able to afford the games. I wouldn't be able to afford them because if one store had all the game retail, they could charge whatever they wanted for those games. Nothing but an act of congress would keep a check on the prices.
What checks and balances are in place for the Live store?? If Microsoft gets their way and they bridge the gap between PC and Xbox Live gamers, I can see the pricing sky rocketing on these game extras and Live itself. Shoot! A three-month subscription to Xbox Live already costs more than a three-month subscription to my favorite XXX site. However, unlike Xbox Live, at least I can get a taste of the XXX site without buying anything. You know why, because the aren't the only smut peddler on the web. Competition keeps retail pricing honest.
To be quite honest, I bought an Xbox because;
1. I wanted to play Halo
2. I wanted to try Live
But what I got was;
1. Halo, good game! Halo: CE is the best game I ever played. Halo 2 stunk, a god awful follow up to CE.
2. A lot of drama online – Live cheaters, pay for more content after I paid 200.00 just to get set up for Live play.
3. A monopolized market.
This is my last message, my 360 is going on eBay and I am going back to Playststaion. Later Microsoft.
