Forum Overview :: I Can't Afford a XBL Gold Membership :: A consumer complaint

[quote name="Microsoft public relations"]Stemming from the perfectly reasonable objection that Microsoft forces you to pay for something that their competitors offer for free. The only advantage they offer: video watching features that 99.9% of the planet couldn't care less about. What is Microsoft's role in my watching Netflix videos (or youtube, or twitter, or facebook, or hulu, but not MSN or their faggot Zune store!) other than passing through my Xbox before reaching my TV? What costs are they incurring? Should Toshiba get a monthly cut too? Then the biggest question of why this take on consumer fleecing makes you so ANGRY. Seriously, take a look at your entire post history. You can't reply to the simplest of things without BDR veins popping out your forehead.[/quote]
