Ill agree with the cheating part.Halo 2 got ridiculous.Another problem in the odd internet backward country is broadband.In new zealand everyone is having problems where mainly only older houses can get a fast connection because new houses are being made in subdivisions and the companies doing them are cutting costs on the lines.Also there has been a huge price rise and caps put on connections.It is about $80 US to get a 256 wireless connection where i am because phone lines are no good. And its $50 for normal 256 through phones with anything from 5-10gig caps.As for the faster 2mb connections the cap gets lowered to about 2gig and the price goes up.Hell we use 3 gig a month and we dont really download anything.For gaming in nz it just isnt worth it.Having a monopoly phone company doesnt help.
The extra cost of $50 a year for xbox live isnt that much in the scheme of things.Allthough I hope in the next generation console they dont pull the same cheap tricks like having everything in the console but not letting you use it unless you buy an addon.I refused to pay the extra for 5.1 sound dvd playback and went to the local electricion who did it for less than the oficial cost.Thats just asking people to mod.
Way off topic. Im just angry at my poo internet connection which is running at like 128 this morning 1/2 speed
