You didn't really answer my questions but oh well.

This is ridiculous. So I paid for what? To watch ESPN or get on Facebook on Xbox? Who actually does that? To get access to Hulu Plus and HBO Go, things I have to pay for separately? C'mon man you have to agree with me that those are ridiculous reasons to raise the price, especially when your competitor is offering their service for free. These are features that the majority of the Xbox Live userbase ignores, so why make everyone pay for them?
Because it's better than PS3's service doesn't explain why we're being charged for it. Online PC gaming is free on most games and better than Live. Microsoft is not paying for the servers, they are player hosted, so there is really no reason for them to be charging for Xbox Live other than that they know they can get away with it.
