1.1 - We dont "Have to pay for everything"
No one is forcing people to buy themes and pics. You can either get all the FREE ones that are provided frequently or you can put up your own themes from your pictures.

Cant wait 'till Home comes out and see what they have to offer. Im looking forward to it if they dont nickel and dime me in order to customize my apt and avatar. Im sure they will charge for most but still provide free stuff via Live.

although i do agree with you about micro-transactions, i think paying for a content in Home is a lot better than paying for a static image. and paying $50 dollars a year should at least give you some free content or a theme builder or something, don't you think?

2.3 - I fully realise we have a choice...
... and that we dont HAVE to buy it of we dont want it.

However, I believe Microsoft strongly encourages developers to charge for this kinda stuff, and doesnt want them to release it for FREE, which is sad and a shame.

And like the guy above me says, we should at least get some way to make our own themes or pics or whatever, and put them on our 360.

I dont know how the PS3 handles this issue btw? Can you make your own stuff for the PS3? Or isnt it an issue at all?

3 - LOOOOOOOL
Paying for themes and pictures and old reruns. CRAZZZZY. M$ making money on stuff like this and still not lowering prices for games. I just don't get how gamers can justify paying $50 dollars for being online and then having to pay also for every other ridiculous content made available.

I agree, paying for gamer pics and themes is crazy, that is why I have never paid for any and never will. I do grab all that are FREE and there are lots.

I do feel that if people generated their own gamepics it could get out of hand and be just another thing for M$ to police. Take a look at some of the Aviators here on N4G, a lot of them are inappropriate. Looking at this site in an office environment could cause a problem for some.

$50 a year for Xbox Live Gold does not bother me much since I have never paid that much in the 5 years I have been on Live. There are always deals you can find, but sure, Free would be better. I feel with as many people on Live though, it could get out of hand with people creating a new gamer tag each week if it was FREE. People with new tags look like there a noob with no states and then you get worked over by them because there really the highest rank with their original tag.

Another thing, if it was FREE, they might not feel to upgrade the service to make it better. The PSN is FREE now but you never know, once the user base gets up there, they might start charging.

Why would you want to pay for Screwattack gamer pics?
What next, Noobtoob

I'd rather buy gamer pics of Ann Coulter's rotten vagina before I buy pics of crappy sites
