first!!!!

Whats next? a E-newspaper

I'd like the service to be free.  That would be a sweet feature.

Or just get over it and turn itself into a full fledged cable company, charge a monthly bill, and take over the world.

@ POzilard

GAY

That would be cool~!

Sony, why aren't you jumping on stuff like this? It would be an easy way to improve PSN, and it could bring in a little extra $$. Sometimes I don't understand big companies.

Like everything else that Microsoft has recently added to the Live service, it practically creates an excuse for them to increase the subscription fee...

@ Stradivari

If Microsoft started giving services for free ,then we would want more free things. Like online. And then they wouldn't make as much money. And then Bill Gates would have to cut back on expenses(caviar only 364 days a year).

COOL

Some free games.

@OFCOURSEITISNT

I believe Bill Gates has stopped working for Microsoft full-time in 2008, devoting most of his time to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation doing philanthropic work, especially in Africa.  Regardless, I think Internet access should be treated as a utility along the lines of electricity, water & heat.  But that's another thread.  

Considering Bill Gates no longer works @ MS thats kinda fail. But anyways this is very clever on Microsofts part - However they may end up charging too much while in reality I am positive they could get huge increase in just people buying the 360 if they just raised yearly subscription to $55 or 60 as 50 is still too much. MS isn't stupid, they realize PSN is growing and so is the PS3, they need to battle.

The wii seems like the winner of the console wars but it really isn't as the Wii was outdated 2 years ago - the 360 and ps3 are going to work hard to propel lifespan to 2015 which is when they will likely reveal Godly (to us present ppls) consoles to dominate the world.

Atm it is heavily in the realm of possibility that the 360 and PS3 will achieve what the Wii can not, satisfying it's "true" (most of us) and its casual gamers. Sony's controller and MS's Natal may make the Wii look like the Virtual Boy (If you don't know, it was a really lame large glove w/ motion control out in the 90s or even earlier I dont remember).

Why dont you just say im an idiot instead of hiding behind a wall of words?

I believe you have your Nintendo accessories mixed up: The Virtual Boy was a "3D" visor/controller combo with wireframe graphics.  The Power Glove was the controller glove.

Power Glove: the predecessor to the boxing glove holder for the Wiimote and nunchuck

microsoft needs to give it a break, are they trying to compensate for the RROD?

I think it would be great considering I use ESPN for my sports news. It would be cool to be able to check some sports stuff before and after I play games instead of checking on TV or the internet.

Actually I kind of wish they offered 1 vs 100 all the time.  I do enjoy playing randomly with my buddies in a trivia game.  It's fun to just chill doing some trivia.  

Otherwise than that I really don't know.  I mean it keeps offering a ton of stuff.  I would just like more of the stuff free.  We already pay for xbox live.

ESPN would be cool on XBL

This would be an awesome supplement, but for some reason I have the feeling that a price hike for a Gold Subscription is in the works.  With Sony's optional paid subscription model on the way, Microsoft is probably looking for a way to get more money from their online offering as well.   I guess we'll see.
