Live is better, PSN is free. Choose your poison :Plocopatho
Spot on... If you think PSN is a better service then your lying to yourself... But PSN is free and thats awesome... But wish I had PSN Plus for that DC universe beta.. :(
I do like the PSN store much better then whatever Xbox has. Also I love how there is a "delete card infomation" option on PSN and not jumping though hoops and spending 2+ hours on the phone. The only thing I think Xbox Live has on PSN is the party system, and much more comfortable mics. In the long run though it's not really wroth $60 a year. Plus I have absolutly no intrest in sports, so the price increase for ESPN (so I've heard) does me no good:evil:

Well, and you can only get the ESPN thing if your ISP provides it. In other words, if you could already use it on your computer. Just like pretty much every "amazing" feature XBL has.
Well Xbox 360 Online Experience is much better than PSN hands down but you have to pay IMO it's worth it for better servers, connecting with people across the world or Chilling with a few pals it does it way better than PSN although I like the PS Store if that's any consolation.
Xbox Live because of its great community and overall experience. The fact that Xbox Live gets certain DLC MONTHS before PSN and chatting with numerous friends at the same time, sure we have to pay but its worth it compared to PSN that yes is free (not for long i feel) but you don't get a great online experience.

Oh no.
Plus although XBL is better (imo of course), its not worth anything above $40
should be a poll. But PSN for me. Ever since my free month of gold ran out I never renewed it. I don't feel like paying money monthly to play games online with 360 when I already pay the ISP company to do that!

i think you're right. the days of free console online models are approaching an end.

i think you're right. the days of free console online models are approaching an end. I think we all know who we have to thank for that. Anyways if that's true then my console gaming days are approaching an end too.

So ripping people off is now making money? Here I'll sell you warm water at $300 the glass but hey I'm just making money right?

Anyways if that's true then my console gaming days are approaching an end too. What, MS for proving that awesome online is worth paying for? No 15 minute patch downloads (Motorstorm 1, I timed it) or friend codes. Just a great service.

have you used xbl gold? just curious. there's a reason i pay for it. and its certainly not because microsoft is forcing me too. and that analogy really doesn't work. a console is a luxury item, not a necessity for survival. really, though, i don't expect a very unbiased or logical answer from you, though.

You don't need warm water to survive either just water, and the analogy works, paying to play online $60 a year is a rip off and paying $300 for a glass of warm water is a rip off.

Yes you do, you pay your ISP for the online service and then you pay Microsoft for letting you use that service.
It is not worth paying for a service twice.kuraimen
you mean in your opinion, right? some of us (who actually, you know, use xbl and don't blindly bash it) feel the service is worth the fee. its fine if you don't, but don't assume the attitude that you know what's best for everyone.

Xbox Live and the Internet connection are two different services dude. Just because one requires the other doesn't mean you're paying for the same thing.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]Yes you do, you pay your SIP for the online service and then you pay Microsoft for letting you use that service.waltefmoney
On their product..
Yeah what would be the purpose of paying an ISP the online service if you had to pay every device manufacturer for connectivity? Imagine if you had to pay every computer manufacturer you use your ISP service with for connection.

I don't see any refuttal, just you saying no and changing the subject.
Yes you do, you pay your ISP for the online service and then you pay Microsoft for letting you use that service.
My ISP just gives me an Internet connection. It doesn't mean I automatically get everything on the Internet for free :| i have a feeling he'll just do this all day. so funny that he's never even used the service but feels the need to tell everyone how they should spend their money.
