You do realize it is LESS than the price of one game, right?  Just buy one less crappy game a year and you have a superior online service.

And perhaps you will learn the laws of supply and demand one day - especially when it comes to pricing ;-)

Why ?
$600 ps3 = online gaming + bluray
$600 360 = online gaming (4 years) and ???

Considering how many amazing demo's etc. etc. are avalable on LIVE, $90AU a year is pretty neat. Don't deny it. LIVE Online Gaming>PS

I think the ps3 extras are a better value than a couple of xbox live features. Plus with the ps3 , I have faith that Sony will support it for a very long time which gives it a value boost.

Afraid not. I'm not that blind. I am considering purchasing a XBOX 360, just because the amount of great titles that consoles pumping out is outstanding.

Yea because their AAAs are PDZ, GEOW, GRAW, Rainbow Six, and Oblivion. And the PS3 has 3 of those coming to thier system leaving PDZ which nobody envies and GEOW which is good but thats it. Then the PS3 has every games sequel that made the PS2 a must have while the 360 has new IPs which can do well or not, nobody knows for sure. I think its funny how everyone praises the 360s larger library but overlook the fact its quality games are ported to the PS3.
