Playstation Plus vs Xbox live Gold

people always say that ps+ isnt worth it because the free stuff is only free while you are a member. but so what. they only take away free games which are mostly small games i never have the need to play again once i beat them. they also dont take away the stuff i got a discount on which within the year will add up to more than $50 with map packs and games i buy off psn. so psn is better imo. but as its been said before time and time again they dont offer the same thing so it doesnt matterriver_rat3117

[QUOTE="campzor"]psn is better then both cause its free... THERE! Also ps+ is optional and doesnt effect content on your game.... xbox live does thus no point arguing 'thats optional too' cause really...its not.shahilsyed

Just because PSN is free doesn't mean plus is better. they're different. please don't mix them up. different stuff.

Hi,

What is better? They both cost money so you can't say one of them is free. I like Xbox live is better. Whats your?

PS+ is better because it isn't holding my games hostage. I do not negotiate with terrorists.

Still gotta go with psn. Holding a part of your game hostage with a service fee can never be successfully spun...not even with threads of silver and gold.TheMoreYouOwn

I have Xbox Live Gold, I don't have PSN+, but I think thats why PSN+ is better, not because the product is better for $49.99 a year, though debateable, but because its an option that doesn't steal features like Xbox live.

Xbox live has a lot of features that they recently added such as ESPN, and now they charge more for these added features that I don't even want. If you want ESPN why can't you pay the extra $10 a month. While they take out basic features from Silver like Netflix, which I can use on PSN without paying $50 a year.

It's funny because a lot of Sony fanboys would scream how Playstation Network was better, simply because it is free, now with this PSN+, which charges, they are saying it's still better??I really think Sony put this PSN+ out there to see how it was recieved, and possibly use it as a model to eventually abandon free online all together, and charge like MS.Might not take effect in the next year or so, but I see them doing it in the future. I think all three will eventually charge for online, which sucks, but I think it is coming. Nintendo and Sony are watching MS get smothered in $$ of off Xbox Live, and I'm sure they would like to get a piece of that action.

These threads should be instantly locked.This subject cannot possibly be more discussed than it already has.

Yes. Although I will say that PSN+ sounds far better on paper:

PSN+ - Online Gaming(which is actually free), Discounts, betas, games, demos etc, etcfor 50 quid.

XBL - Online Gaming, Deal of the Week and ehh....

No brainer really and I don't even own a Playstation

wtf how can you own a 360 and not know 360 has betas games demos etc it has everything psn+ has and more wtf betas demos games? really you think 360 doesnt have that?

How many times has this argument been brought up?!

On topic: I don't have a PS3 but paying for xbox live does suck cause i don't use any other features except to play online. So, the one with more benefits, I guess.

MGO doesn't go through the psn, that's why it was such a pain.

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"]PSN is better than Live Gold because it offers almost everything Live does, along with some extra stuff like Home, for free. PSN+ is not really comparable in any way to Gold. The only reason people are trying to compare them is they both have a subscription fee (with PSN+ being cheaper). Gold is a subscription to access Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, and online gaming (stuff that you already should get). PSN+ is more like a discount membership and content subscription. So yes, PSN is better than Gold because it's free, and PSN+, which charges, is also better than Gold because you are actually getting content for that fee, rather than getting access to content which you've already paid for.
