The Top 5 Reasons Xbox Live Should Be Free

In an attempt to help you better understand my stance on Xbox Live being free I decided to post a T5 on it. So here is the Top 5 Reasons Xbox Live should be free.

#5) PC Online Is Superior and Free

The PC offers an online experience that is far superior to anything you will find on a game console. This poses problems for XBL and ultimately takes away customers. I think Microsoft should start to re-analyze the situation.

#4) Playstation Network Is Catching Up

With the Home due out in full release sometime this year Micrsoft has reason to fear that people looking for a decent yet affordable(free) experience will be moving to Sony. Yet another reasons why XBL should be free.

#3) Doesn't Cost Microsoft A Lot

Providing the Xbox Live Service does not cost Microsoft a whole lot and is just another reason to be buying their game system. Microsoft can afford this hit and I am sure they would not lose money anyways.

#2) Microsoft Makes Load Off Downloads

Microsoft already makes a lot of money off their downloads and ads. They would be making even more if there was more people using their service. Sure there is a lot of money in selling the service, but in the case of downloads and ads it sells the service and would sell even better if the XBL was free.

#1) Sell More Consoles

If Xbox Live was free Microsoft would be selling a lot more consoles. They already have issues trying to sell consoles, and free Xbox Live would actually be a highly relative selling point. People would be more inclined to buy a 360, Xbox Live costs a lot and makes the consoles price a lot heavier than it actually looks.
