You completely ignored both common sense and everything
you said.
Also, yes the CD does install new shit, but why should I buy a CD package for that? I've got this broadband modem included with my system... but I pay $90CDN for a headset and a CD, a bit of wire and a box?
Let's see, you'd hate to pay for new hardware and a new software for the price of a video game, which is the EXACT same thing as paying for Ultima Online (EA), which is followed by a monthly rate.
But I can't understand how you would hold sympathy for any company.
I'm not bleeding my heart out for MS (or Nike), but I am making sense of the matter. They give you new hardware and new software that makes the Xbox ten times better and suddenly expect it to be free? Cry out for EA to do that and I'd still yell at you.
A monthly fee is a yearly payment plan. If they charged me by the day I would still consider how much money I was spending each year.
A monthly fee is a way to pay by the month and then
stop paying for it whenever you cannot afford to (of course you had better do it before the next billing period starts). The fact is, you get a year off and you completely ignored that, so your yearly fee is $50 (90 CDN), as opposed to $150 for Ultima Online ($30 for the game) or even EQ.
And Vice Versa.
Did you think this one through? I said the Xbox was too good for the PS2 and thus cannot get straight ports from the best games; you turn around and tell me that PS2 games cannot give straight ports because the Xbox is too good for them?
Anyway, once you realize your idiotic socialist view is completely off base (you COMPLETELY ignored the point about the payment plans, which actually throws your entire argument back out again), then you might what to come back with an educated guess at why people make my argument.
Am I Bill Gate's illigitamite son? I wish, wouldn't you like to get your hands on a few billion? Do I burn a Windows CD? I wish I could afford it, but these other plans from Sony's side wish to take it all from me on a pay-for-each plan.
