[QUOTE="Giff1988"] Noth this again. But I cant help myself. PSN and Wii are inferior not because they dont charge..... but lack of experience. M$ has been dealing with the internet long before they got into the console business.
Back to the question. When the M$ game division is profitable then XBL will probally be free. But seeing how M$ took a 2 billion dollar loss on the 360.... I doubt they will make there money back this gen. Thus the next Xbox we will pay for live. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and if there is indeed a fourth Xbox I will predict Xbox live will be free.... sure that's like 20 years from now but hey that's my prediction.

they are for the first time predicting making a overall profit on xbox at the end of 2008 time. doubt its going t go free like, as for the demos, well u dont have to pay for that, thats what silver membership is for. gold is for playing only.
and paying does help improove the service, not because microsoft is making money, because it actually stops a few people from playing which means less people means a smoother performance ,
yeah that new email trick works a treat just keep ur one player games on ur first card and then make a new email and u get a new trail everytime. ive got my paid one for me, but my mates always make new ones for trials so they can talk on the mic. although i agree its worth paying for everymonth as its only cheap and overall really reliable service for me. i think its stupid that u need another active account for every other person playing online on ur split screen who wants to use a mic , ya should really be able to join in if one person on the machine has a active account
I dont think so.... I'm pretty sure that them being profitable went right out of the window when they annonced they were giving everybody a free 3 year warranty which will cost them 2 billion dollars.
