The thing you can look at to get around the whole $15 a month thing is. Say you use a consol, like PS2/3 or Xbox, you get a game and most likely you will get atleast 1 new game a month, a new game is about $50, you're already spending more than that $15 a month for a new game, only the game you pay for is an ongoing game. Thats my example to people who called me an idiot for paying it in school.
