If you think that the XBox's online plans suck, than I honestly don't know what to say to that and I have no idea what you are expecting. The XBox is not a PC and has no plans on being one. You want a PC gaming experience online.
You have to look at this from a console perspective, not a PC perspective. The plan is simple, cheap and has good gaming support. Perfect for a gaming console's user base.
