PC users also spend twice as much, minimum, on their system than 360 owners.

It just seems that way to PC users, I guess…

It’s not “ripping off”. It’s just giving priority to people willing to pay for the privilege.

And it is free… So you know, don’t expect much… Which is a shame, as the console environment seems to be how best to rip off your customer base, on the PC side all these things have to be given away or your base revolts…

They’re not taking anything away. They’re just delaying it.

The major flaw here is that they are taking something away that was already there for Silver members.

Microsoft needs to rethink their LIVE service or it’s going to stall and die. MSoft is trying to move it over to PC, where gaming on-line is already free and has already been. I shouldn’t be paying for this content. Especially when Steam is doing everything their doing, and better now for free! I only hope that they realize that and then the free moves to XBox. They cane make all the money they need to by providing a forum and advertising, no need to dig their nails in to us as well…

Well, it’s a delay of a week for FREE stuff. You don’t have the delay if it’s paid stuff.

Here’s the real question: will Microsoft waive the waiting for Bringing It Home? Bringing It Home is awesome — it helped me feel like I was at E3 and the TGS and ComicCon.
