If anything, this is a misplaced post and should be redirected at MS.

I suggest going to walmart or costco or w/e is equivalent in your region, and buying some pile of junk computer for $300USD. then get a steam account and client at steampowered.com and buy it through steam. (not offense intended, just offering an alternative)

If your friend can't buy a cheapo computer, do they have one with at least windows XP on it (though windows vista, 7 or 8 would be better since SE no longer supports issues with winXP and FFXI related problems)
I know about all that, but its not like MS wouldn't gain a little bit from selling it on XBL. I'm trying to convince him to just wait until he can buy a new PC. Still doesn't excuse the fact that they are wasting potential on a platform they have been supporting anyway.
