A friend of mine told me he would play competitively in Halo 2 and 3 with a dot taped on his screen. I laughed. He said it was almost necessary. Now it's necessary to: spend half of what you paid for the console on a scuff controller; buy a monitor for a console that was designed to be a plug-and-play home entertainment system; buy a headset to hear in-game cues that are mixed (in some cases) to be harder to hear through a television set; and now, buy fancy stickers to put on your monitors screen. That's a 'Pay-to-Win' model if I've ever read countless comments and arguments about micro transactions.
