as long as it doesn't cost twice as much!

great idea though, keeps Toshiba and Sony from screwing the consumer!

"6. "Over 2 billion Microsoft Points sold to date"

did the math... that's over $25 million

who knows, maybe this "Live" thing will be profitable for microsoft one of these days."

it's actually $24,980,000.00 if you use 1000GP=$12.49

you last sentence makes no sense at all.
this is only the profits from XBLM, and doesn't include XBL Gold subscriptions. and if 60% use it at either $8/month or $60/year, that's also a lot of cash.

this is hugely profitable.

sony and nin will simply not be able to catch ms on this one.

haha, i like how the psp kid goes through the steps of a satirical newspost out loud. "So you're making fun of Sony and PSP by saying it's only good for keeping your XBox 360 from failing on you?" And of course, like anyone trying to 'campaign' for a different product, he say's its the "only" way to keep the xbox 360 from failing. Which obviously isn't true, less than 1% of the PSU's fail, and the vast majority could operate from the carpet, covered by wires, game cases, cans, maybe a sock or two, etc, etc....
