If it's so cheap, then why is Microsoft charging $50 per year for an online matchmaking service? Because that's all Xbox Live is. I doubt absorbing those costs is going to make MS break the piggy bank either. :confused:Quote:

Too complicated for my household unfortunately :cry:
Apparently you've never played Diablo 2, or FFXI.Quote:

Um, most of the players in FFXI are Japanese, and Diablo 2 has a nice mix.Quote:

Xbox Live rules and I would put a bullet in Iwata's head myself if I could get the next Animal Crossing game to take advantage of it.
01. Sega went bankrupt because they were stupid for years. It wasnt because of SegaNet.Quote:
I am sure Nintendo would much rather save its money than have your admiration and go bankrupt like Sega did.
02. SegaNet was crap anyway.
03. They completely botched their online plans.
My bad. But IIRC there only 250k of Japanese FFXI players on the PS2, and I am not quite sure if there are many Japs playing Diablo 2 as blizzard games tend to be Korean territory.Quote:
