Ive had my 360 since 2006 and my Wii since 2007 and Ive never used LIVE or WiiConnect. I never used LIVE on my original Xbox either. Yes I know Im probably missing out onsome good downloadable games but other than a few that Id like to try out,online in general does not interest me at all.

I dont care about Gamerscores, achievements, or trophies because as we all know theres no real reward for them, just bragging rights. I like unlocking bonuses if Im gonna do any extra work.

Ive never been into multiplayer, not even back in the day on NES - Genesis. I used to play Mario Party with some friends and it was fun but it was never something I needed. Ive always been happy just playing single player/story modes and unlocking any secrets a game my have.

As for DLC alot of the stuff, imo, isnt worth the extra money and its stuff they could of easily put in the game but you know they didnt justto sell it online. Also some games just release the DLC to retail like Gears of War GotY and GTA4: Storys of Liberty City.

All I use Xbox Live and PSN for is the stores and I hardly buy anything from them. Other than that, I don't bother with anything else.

Tried online with the PS3, not my thing. I usually use it for the store, and that is rarely. I am 99.9% a single player type of person for the most part.

My situation is I can't get my ps3 online so a good single player story is the number 1 priority for when I buy a new game.

I mostly use online for trying PS3 demo's and occasionally I browse the net a bit on my couch or watch youtube video's without sitting in my office chair, and I don't care too much about online multiplayer in most games. I do however watch alot of movies on my PS3 so I love the HDD. CBA about DLC then again.

I barely use Live of PSN for online gaming. I just use their stores for demos and videos and things. If, by the off chance, I get a hankering to play some games online I'll always use PSN.

Other than the free month of Live Gold, system updates, and a few VC/XBLA games I don't use it much.

I've used the PSN to play online months back but not much anymore. I only log in for the store, but I rarely buy anything.

I use the online mostly for downloading demos or VC games in the case of the Wii, but no I never do online multiplayer. Most of the games with good online multiplayer are shooters and I don't play those types of games as they bore me silly. Too repetitive and too similar

I've used Steam since the day it came out.

Missing out on all those indy games would not be a smart choice for a gamer.

I have a Gold XBL account but barely ever play online. When I do I hardly use my headset as I either can't think of anything to talk about to the other folks online, or I simply don't want to talk. The only thing keeping me from reverting to Silver is the one person on my friends list who I enjoy playing online with, and the VIP cars I get gifted from Forza 3. If your Silver you can't receive the gifted cars which is a bit stupid.
