We are living in an age of depression and economic turmoil. With that being said, why does Microsoft feel the need to over charge their customers? I recently received an e-mail that Microsoft’s Xbox Live will update with access to Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, and Zune applications. This sounds awesome, right? Yeah, only if you like to pay fifty dollars a year when you can easily access these applications on a computer for free. I mean why do we have to pay a stupid membership fee to play games online or go on the Internet?

Unfortunately, people are still willing to pay whatever the hell they have to pay, without hesitation. I never paid for a Xbox Live membership, and because of this, I have yet to play any multiplayer games online, and trust me, my social life has suffered because of it. I think that I am just going to cut my losses and buy a Playstation 3. Maybe it looks like some sort of retarded spaceship, but hell, you can access the internet and play games online for FREE. Thank you Microsoft for not doing anything right since Windows Vista…hahahahahaha…not.
