Wow. How nice that they make it so convenient to take your money. Soon they will patten an electronic arm that comes out the xbox reaches into your pocket and takes your cash for you! Then later on the hackers can hack it to scratch your balls!

Wait till it up and running. I think you will be inundated with new friends, all wanting to play you on a new addition to the game, names similar to you friends,and thinking they are, it goes ahead. Result, credit card maxed out, and M$ makes more $$$$$. Let them take control, and they will control you. We are controlled too much already, why add to allowing to happen?

Microsoft did not invent this; Quake 2 did the same thing before the first XboX was ever made. The only difference is that you did not have to pay $5 for each level, and the DLC content was much better. That said, it was always a pain in the ***...19 people waiting for one person with a slow connection to download the content that they would already have if they had ever played the game before...and once the game starts, the person that everyone was waiting on gets killed twice and leaves.

How can they patent something like this? Next they will be patenting breathing.
