i think you hit on a point about how short games are now days. i think it is because they want you to play online, and spend that money for gold (which isn't a whole lot, but it is 60 bucks more then someone not getting gold). you make a short single player game, but a whole lotta crap for online, you end up getting online. look at how many achievements you can only get online with more and more games coming out (like achievements do anything), like halo3, MOH airborne, and more (i only have those 2).
so basically people who never wanted to hook their consoles to the interweb would be out of luck. i didn't want to do it, but i ended up doing it for a friend who moved away (unfortunately all he plays is h3). but consoles need something to shoe in on the interweb gameplay market that PC's have ruled for so long.
