The price of the Dead Rising 2 Zombrex Edition is higher than comparable products, but is the risk to your safety and peace of mind worth it?

Citing its increasing stable of services as a reason, Microsoft recently decided to raise the price of Xbox Live Gold memberships. The questions is whether or not every Xbox own wants all of these services.

"@Bryan No, I can't show proof, though Microsoft hasn't been very forthcoming with that info. Major Nelson's statement yesterday was about how many services they've added while keeping the price the same, and from that I took the implication that new upcoming services are motivating the change. I'm not aware of any statements they've made that explain exactly why they are going to charge more money. I don't know what it costs to run their servers or exactly how much they make from their cut on sales made on the XBLM. I wish I did. And while I think that a sale on memberships is great, and I plan to take advantage of it, don't forget that this is their new permanent pricing which will be in effect for all future users, including anyone buying a new 360 this holiday.

What I really would like to see is Microsoft doing the customer a solid and allowing more choices in how to receive Live. If some of these added services are worth more money, should we have the option to turn some of them down, or should Live Gold remain all-or-nothing?"

"Yes, it's a small price, but it's also one that nobody asked for to cover services you might not want. I'm asking if Live users should get more choices as to how to get their service; more than "take it or leave it.""

"This reminded me of the torture scene in Metal Gear Solid. You're in a hostile environment, and you have to endure a button-hammering minigame at the risk of your own life as well as one of your friend's. It's physically painful to play, and the game's characters acknowledge it. Making it through that scene intact is one of the most powerful and rewarding moments in the series."
