Adjusted for current conversion rates the current subscription costs the equivalent of $62 in the UK. 
 
For a long time (read; before the current economic down-turn) the conversion rate was closer to, or above, 2-1. Meaning we paid around $80 a year or there about. 
 
Now, the average personal income in the UK works out at about £22,000 before tax and around £17,500 after, meaning that an xbox live subscription is somewhere around 0.44% of total net income. 
 
The US average personal income is $26,000 (after tax...whatever that may be) which means that a LIVE subscription of $60 is 0.42% of net income. So, you're still paying less than the UK andyou get more features (also, food, petrol, clothing, electronics.....all that rate adjusted? Is about 20-30% cheaper than Europe) 
 
Quit your bitching. Or just vote with your fucking wallet.

Cool....oh....Cyptic...eh no thanks (for the moment i may be swayed if they ever manage to walk the walk that they talk....as it were).

I have to say, I'm impressed too. "

You know Eurogamer is a British site right.....There's a French and a German version too. But Eurogamer.net is based in Brighton. Also, they hate everything. Or at least seem to at times.

Jeff did...fuck...a really good Eddie Murphy impression. His Worf wasn't too bad either.

I will be very happy if they allow you to play with the same group for more than one game. The Halo style match making thing is not for me.
