Hey Vicious,
I can understand your rant... the price is higher than almost anybody was expecting. Anyhow, we must consider that with the current costs of maintenance behind a MMORPG - and Galaxies is easily the most complex (and resources consuming) MMORPG currently available - it's very difficult to offer fees below 10$. And I guess it's worth mentioning that for the first time, European players must play an additional tax - this means they have to pay 17% + than North Americans (this means they pay around 18$ monthly...).
Anyhow, as a fan of Star Wars - I grew up with the movies of the first trilogy - I would sincerely kill to play Galaxies... and maybe that's exactly why they dared to ask that fees for playing the game.
And going to the Xbox version - currently, its development has been cancelled. The same goes for the Playstation 2 version...
