Quote:ABF, read my post again (there seems to be a shortage of that recently...). Specifically, the part where I explain that YES, there ARE things you have to pay for to download on XBox Live as it already is. Not all of it, but then again not all of what's on this new thing needs to be payed for either.
There is no difference except for the funhouse token conversion...
Um, DJ, isn't the kind of thing you get on Xbox Live now game addons and the like? We're nore just talking about that here... here you pay for stuff like gamer pictures and stuff... on top of your $50/year Live subscription. Sure, they started down this road with the Xbox, but it's gotten worse now. There is a difference between paying for an expansion pack and paying for things you should be able to download for free...

PC expansion packs sometimes walk the fine line between worthy addon and cash-in to make more money, true, but not as bad as this I think...
