It's incredible that some xbots continue to trumpet cross game instant messaging as some kind of top priority in online gaming while other people talk about lagfree gaming when talking about paying $50 yr/$250 for 5 yrs., eventhough that feature is completely free to non-paying Xbox Live users. :lol The most important thing in online gamings is getting littlest lag possible but they like to ignore that and keep on talking about instant messaging. It's telling that they never claim Live games have less lags than PSN games. "Oh my gawd not every PS3 uses dedicated server, Live is better cuz it's uniformly P2P xross all games!!!@"
It's incredible how much denial some of you are under. You are paying for P2P gaming on Live, nothing more. You are not paying for cross-game chatting or custom soundtrack or whatever other bs you come up with. Every single one of those are free to those who are not stupid enough to pay for P2P gamnig.
