I'll spare the "have you played Game X" comments. But WoW is really not a good deal, month rate games never are. That's not what it's about the point being if you enjoy playing the game almost any cost is justifiable.

I was just trying to shead light on just HOW much WoW costs. If you're the rare gamer who plays nothing BUT wow, yes you're probably saving money. But I doubt this encompasses the vast majority of people who play. I for one also own an 360 and play a number of games on it in addition to my $15 soul-snatching-blizzard-fee. I do it because I love the game, and I (apparently like you) will justify it as a necessary cost.
