Microsoft's price increase for Live


Well Microsoft has made another dumb move by increasing the price for Xbox Live. I was actually planing on renewing mine but since I saw this I wont be, well Microsoft you just lost another customer. The main thing that gets to me the most is that they are raising the price for absolutely no features that I use. I got Xbox Live to play games online not to go on Facebook and not to use twitter if I wanted that I would go on to my computer not my Xbox. All I see them doing is adding in useless things and calling it the greatest thing ever, but the sad truth is that it's far from great. From now on I'll just be playing games on my computer which really is much better than any console even through I don't have the greatest graphics card ever. The main thing that the PC has is a better community, well the guys I play with are awesome anyway. I never run into that annoying ten year-old kid screaming at his mommy. Well, goodbye Microsoft it was nice while it lasted, you cheap bastards.
