why should i pay 50 bucks a year when I never experience lag, in the 1.5 years i've owned my ps3 ... i've only experienced lag three times, once during the socom beta and another during the lbp beta and the third was the day warhawk was released. So I don't know what lag you speak of, probably an issue with you ISP

I also get lag man .. but it isn't the servers .. it's your connection .. trust me .. I know it sucks but it's the truth.

Insomniac did it right .. developers have to follow their lead ..

Ok, I am just getting constant lag in LBP, and some other games that most of you never heard of. I use a wireleses so that might be the problem for me, I will check it then, but I do download stuff at 1mb a second so I don't think it is my provider.

what games are you referring too?

personally ive found quite a few Battlefield bad company servers with a fair amount of lag,

and one thing that annoys me about online play on that game is the fact you cant choose which server you go into before you play, or see your ping ingame/before so that you could choose the 'best' server wih least lag,

and that the auto assign function seems somewhat retarded at times with completeley unbalanced games,

and a class limiter could be a good thing for online battles so you dont end up with 9 out of 10 snipers,

and my final grife is that the ranking once youve reached 'general of the army' seems random at times, for instance, i will play 9 good games getting over 500 a round, then have one bad round and go down the rankings...eh?

i dont know what does everyone else think?

I don't personally get lag online; the problem is Sony's servers taking a crap as much as they do, for instance: -2 months of instability on Warhawk's servers at release -Instability of Socom's servers upon release (no idea how it is now since I don't touch the game anymore) -The apparent inconsistency in Resistance 2's servers at the moment with connecting to games -The LittleBigPlanet servers on some days, today being one of them, slowing down significantly and causing very long load times And I do know for a fact that none of the above have just been issues with me. I browse and post on a LOT of gaming forums. For other people who do as well, you'll agree that when something is wrong with a game or online servers, you'll KNOW if something is up whether you're playing- or even own the game for that matter, or not. So yeah, most of the time spent gaming online on the PS3 is smooth-sailing, but there are definitely those days where it just gives you hell. I really wouldn't mind paying a small annual fee to help guarantee server stability either.

Let's assume for a moment I had lag issues. Still, why should I have to pay a monthly fee if I can get lag-free online on a PC?

One other thing to add: In the Xbox 1 generation, the $50/year fee for XBL was more "believable" as it involved hosting dedicated servers for hosting/serving games to players, which certainly helped keep latency at a minimum (especially with Microsoft's OC-256 or so at their disposal). Nowadays with the 360 and such, most of the online games are only peering with each other as opposed to communicating to a specific server.This means that now the burden of having a good connection isn't so much just between you and the "server", but you to everyone else that wants to play. So like, if there was a 20-man game and 16 of those people were on FiOS, but the remaining four getting in are on an ISDN or satellite, your summary connection is hosed because of those slow-arsed brats screwing over everyone else. Perfect example: Halo 3. If even so much as ONE person's connection goes down from a full green bar in the status window, EVERYONE suffers lag. And if they are the kind to stoop to unhooking and reconnecting the ethernet cable on their end repeatedly to mess with the lag, that just means you all have to suffer. :evil:

Wow, you WANT to pay for a FREE service? You're telling me that XBL runs smooth and everything is bright, flawless and perfect?

Even people that own a 360 complain about Live. No dedicated servers? What exactly are you paying for? Microsoft is like the IRS. You sneeze and you get taxed.

You can play online games on PC for free. Do you want to pay for that too? (additional to your ISP)

Do you even know what you're talking about?

That's the problem with people today. "Throw money at it, that'll make it better!":roll:

Well I am not sure about paying 50 bucks for some free service.But Sony does need to up the stakes when it comes to their PS store.There are good things on it but not enough for me to say that it is better or even equal to the market place.

I have experienced worse lag on live than on PSN. The 50 dollars does nothing. You're connection is probably bad.

One of the main selling points of the ps3 over the 360 is the free online, I don't think that should be changed.

I've never experienced lag on PSN yet. I hear much more XBL users complaining about lag than PSN users, so.... yeah, $50.
