is 50 cent the only amount microsoft charge to join
There are parents that just don't want their kids to have an email account or any connection to the online world, and I don't think it's an insignificant number. The $0.50 charge to verify an account (only for children under 13) is a result of COPPA. The $0.50 is donated to a good cause.his is the first time I've dealt with anything online related with a console. We have a Wii, a PS3, and an XBox 360, and all three are local play only. The PS3 is mine alone, the boys get to play on the 360, but I've never paid for XBox Live because I could never justify the purchase.
