And if it wasn't for PSN Xbox Live wouldn't be anywhere where it is today either. See competition is good, but it still doesn't change the fact that MS has no reason to charge for online MP. None at all, and considering that PSN is a REALLY good service and strong competitor, and on top of that it's FREE, well that REALLY makes people question the value of xbox live. Some people don't like to question things, other people do.
What I find funny is that MS is bringing XBL over to PC, basically they are renaming GFWL "Xbox Live PC", butthey are bringing all the avatars and other features ofLive (cross chat ect..) to the PCxboxlive. But here is the kicker, it's FREE on PC! Yes Xbox Live on PC has NO charge at all, and yet it's the SAME EXACTTHING as the 360 xbox live.How can you justify MScharging one group for xbox live but not theother? You can't.
I think what's going to happen next gen is that MS is going to drop the online fee, some people think Sony is going to charge but considering how FREE online is the industry standard (everyone has free online besides MS) I think the next xbox will have free online MP to compete.
Oh and go play on Steam, it's FREE and totally destroys the argument for paying for online MP.
