Totally agree Les. It's pure greed by both Microsoft and Sony. They evidentally feel they can do what the hell they like because of the lack of competition. Perhaps this will generate some.

Xbox online (car racing) is totally useless now too. I don't know what's happened there. Thank goodness I had chance to find out for nothing, with the free 1 month's membership that came with my new Xbox.

A lot of the gamers will just go over to PC...those who haven't already done so.
