You don't like paying $0.50 US? I think you are over-reacting. Check out how the price actually works out on a related thread.

I checked one of the first links when searching for vent/ts/mumble servers on google, and the prices seem to be around 30 cents per person for up to 10 people, going down to around 25 cents per person for up to 400 people. So CCP's servers are up to twice the cost.
Granted, UVT doesn't require a PC and is hassle free due to that. |

If 20 cents breaks you, then you have bigger problem I think. |

For what time period? Month, year?
The price difference is high in percentage but minimal if both are per month.
Easy connectivity in game, ability to talk to anyone in game, not having PC in living room 8even tho my PS3 is on my PC desk), no incompatible versions between users or servers and ofc not having to invest in PC (remember many console users don't have PC for game use).
Downside is that Vent/TS3/etc options are great and those would be lacking. |

Only requiring a PS3 is market speak for only WORKS with a ps3. If you are going to charge so high for the ability to chat with eve players, you must be aware that most EVE players never use in game chat. At LEAST have the decency to let it connect to a multiplatform service as part of the cost. |

TS3 typically runs about $18-20ish/month for up to 75 people - or it did about 2 weeks ago when I last priced this. |

The problem is that you need to spend much more than 50 cents to get the Aurum in the first place. Sometimes people just can't make online purchases. The big problem here is that in order to communicate effectively as a corporation, EVERYONE needs a UTV.. And if just a few people can't get it.. Then Corporate communication breaks down.
What CCP should do is allow anyone to connect to Corp Voice in a listen only mode for free and to be able to speak, they need the UTV. |

hurr I'm used to guilds paying for their Vent servers not individual members, so it adds up. Perhaps EVE/Dust corps don't do that. |

50 cents it totally reasonable for a month
You can buy Aurum in increments as small as $1.99USD for 4000, enough for 4 months of UVT. I'm pretty sure people plan to play this game for at least 4 months, so that's really non issue
You can always go to gamestop and buy a PSN Gift Card for I think as low as $5, so no online purchase needed.
Eventually UVTs will be purchasable from other players for ISK on the secondary market, so everyone will have access to them anyways. |

If you play the game enough to WANT to have UVT, and refuse to pay 50-ó a month to the upkeep of the otherwise completely free entertainment, you're a cheap ass. |
