And would $100 get me playing Madden '11 online or will we get nickled and dimed? Would $100 allow me to remove my credit card via the Live web page or is that still too hi-tech for MS? Would I be able to skip past "Max" on the phone and get someone who speaks English?

These numbers are ridiculous, I can't see that many people paying a hundred dollars for this service. This
guy is an idiot.

There are stupid people that will pay anything so that's why they are making it an option. Some people are obsessed hence special editions of games they come with essentially overpriced fluff.

Apparently the Kinect can determine in real-time how much money you have in your pockets - the console then displays a message requesting an online payment for that amount or the console will shut down in 3 minutes.

This gives you time to save any progress should you need the money for food instead of gaming. Oh, and you will receive a lifetime ban if it detects modified lead lined pockets.

Pretty fair, I think.

Although Pacht is wrong about a lot, he did predict the $10 price hike last year.


All that does is prove if you fling enough crap at a wall, eventually something will stick.
