Yes, because the business model of free servers works for pc and PSN and wii and DS, it shouldn't work for Xbox? Only thing in the way is greed.

Just look at Blizzard. Battlenet has been around since 1997 and without fees. Free multiplayer packed in a great service sells games. Blizzard knew this. To make it even more clear to you, do you think Counterstrike would have been a hit if it had a monthly fee?

I shudder at how many more people that would own a Xbox 360 instead of a wii or ps3 had MS realised this simple truth.
