Well what's funny is that in other countries outside the US they pay WAY more for Xbox Live and they don't get any of the features. Like I have a friend from Canada and she was telling me that where she lives xbox live costs 80$, and in England it costs around 100$. So that's what I'm trying to say, that other people do have to pay much more, but in these countries they don't get any of the features besides party chat.
Well I've already cancelled my subscription. Most of the people in my country don't have an Xbox so the whole "cross game chat" thing has never come up for me. That's really to me the only feature plus the moderately faster downloads that make Gold better than PSN. It's just not worth it, I don't want to pay for online anymore, I don't even pay for Playstation Plus, online should just be free like it is everywhere else. So to me PSN is better because it is free.

There ya go i corrected it for ya :D. no need to thank me :oops:. would rather spend my money on games!
I'd normally be extremely mad at MS, but still buy it, since it's miles better than PSN, and having a 360 without Live, is simply not having a 360 at all.Flesh-eating
Besides faster updates and party chat I don't see much of a difference between the two services....

I like features. At the low price of one game a year. Matter of fact. 12 month gold onsale on amazon right now for 48 and some change.
Features = win?

Oh dear... Now you've gone and done it. :P Here comes the stampede to give damage control and defend the cost of the service which puts a bunch of free services together and charges for them.[QUOTE="Baxhand"]

If you can't afford to pay for Live then you probably shouldn't being play video games anyways. It tends to be a pricey hobby.

The whole community aspect of Xbox live destroys the PS3. To say otherwise would be ??
The game invite system alone on the PS3 is a joke...Hey bro just call me on the Phone..OLD school baby...
Can't report anyone...
Can have multiple dummy accounts to be stupid.
Lack of Security ftw?

you don't see any differences because we busted you lying about ever having xbl.it still amuses me you didn't know gamertags and psn ids are public information and the tags you posted shared like 25 different games that were played to completion.

PSN is slow and ugly. Not to mention the inferior features and the fact that it's a lot less sophisticated. And also the security... Don't say being without PSN in like 1 or 2 months is "nothing", because we know it's a big deal. Otherwise, I think PS3 is a great console with a lot great games (better exclusives than 360), blu-ray, better graphics etc. So if you think I am a 360 fanboy, you are wrong. Live being better than PSN is something every gamer should admit.[QUOTE="commonfate"][QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

He pays for PS+, so don't bother.I pay for it because it save so much as well as get a bunch of games for free or some may call it rent them which isnt bad since as soon as i beat a game and get all the trophies no need to go back not that i will ever stop being a Ps+ since i love it. you know how many free games i got from the service that saved me so much? over 40 or 50 by now and some of the games i wanted for long, this month alone they give you over 20 games for free! not sure what? actual good games i mean..check the Psblog! next week we'r getting the whole RE PS1 games for free as well as Re 4 HD and veronica HD 50% off. i try to invest smart ;).. not throw my money just for teh cross chat! i know what Live offers and that wasnt worth even $15

I don't care about the "social" thing, I play games to have fun, not gossip about people. I just want to play online with friends, I don't care about another community.
Invites on PS3 are fine, you just go to friends name and press invite/join in the game. I don't see a problem....
You go to the players Gamertag or the message they sent you and you press the Triangle button and press report. You can also go on Sony website and fill out report aswell, but I agree that Xbox Live reporting is a littleeasier and more efficent.
I only have one account, and at least you can have multiple. I feel bad for Gold members with families man, I really do. You have to pay PER member! That's just crazy and expensive, if you have a family of four and they all like to play online that means you are spending a REDICULOUS amount of $$$ just to play over your own internet that you also pay for.
Yes the hack was bad, and I hope it never happens to PSN or Xbox Live or anyone else for that matter. But I don't think Xbox Live is invincble, you should always take precautions with any information that you put online, regardless if it's been hacked or not. You never know....
I don't care about any of those features besides the faster updates. But you don't have to be a Gold member to get those now do you ;) Silver members get the SAME updates at the same speed just like Gold members do. Party chat and all that other stuff is just fluff IMO. Nothing there justifies the price.
They are asking me to pay so I can play over my OWN internet, they better offer me something good that I can't get anywhere else. But they don't IMO, I can do everything Live does on PC, I can do everything Live does on PSN besides party chat. Hell even GFWL is getting name change to xbox live, but guess what? Online MP on the PC xbox live (GFWL) is FREE! That's right, MS is giving free xbox live to one group and not you. You can't defend that.
Also why are you getting so upset about this, it's just video games man. No reason to get emotional....

Thank god for the fancy phone huh...How would we set up a game?
Hey bro..I'm not mad.

gaming is only as expensive as the person makes it u can still be gamer even if u dont have a lot of money u just wont be getting a lot of games. Save your money buy a console of your choice which one u think might be less expensive overall and every now and then pick up a game when i gets dropped down in price or look for deals online[QUOTE="Baxhand"]
