This is one way for them to charge for their online service.

I can see why some shitstain company like EA would do it, but a first party publisher really should not be going there.

You can thank all the people paying for Xbox live for this. I have a feeling come the PS4, PSN isn't going to be free anymore.

There is no way the next generation of consoles is going to be Digital Download only. Plus whose going to sell your console? Stores aren't going to carry it, since they make almost nothing on console hardware. Unless stores are allowed to make a mark up on the hardware, but then you're just paying a high price for no real advantage.

When's the last time you bought a peripheral and didn't get gouged?
Besides, it's not impossible for stores to charge $20 over wholesale for a game system.
No retail chain on earth makes money from iTunes sales, and yet Apple has no trouble getting their products on store shelves.

No, it isn't. Only idiots pay to play online. Luckily they only make up about two percent of gamers, so the non tards should be fine for a while.

Where exactly are you coming up with this Xbox live gold users are only 2% of gamers?

Also I'll happily pay ms my money for online rather than deal with nintendo's fucking retarded friend codes and shitty online services.
