[quote name='MIX_MASTER_ICE']That's 40 too much, IMO. Microsoft needs to man-up and offer basic online play for free, like their competitors. I switched over to PS3 to get my online groove on....and this after several years of paying for XBL. I put a stop to it, because it's just not right. They make plenty of $$$ off downloads, arcade games, movies and such. Sticking their customers to play online is wrong.[/QUOTE]
Nobody cares about your opinion.
For those that need to renew their Live, this is a pretty good deal. Not the greatest but who knows when buy.com offer will come around again.
