Honestly, I've never been the least bit bothered by service contracts, you could even say, I like them, as I've always felt signing a two year contract is a small trade for the amount of money you get off of the initial purchase in return.

But then, I'm not an irresponsible individual who won't pay my bills, nor have I ever been.

I actually like this idea, and I would have ate it up had it been an option when I purchased my 360.

I hope future consoles follow suit.
