Will PSN being free eventually affect XBL?

Do you think that eventually XBL will change its pricing structure to compete with PSN being free? I doubt they want to get rid of the cash cow, and I don't think the really should. However, what if they added on perks for paying. I really ythink that eventuall you'll be able to play games online for free, but Gold membership will have different options, like you could have gamer gold and video gold. Gamer gold bsically lets you access full versions arcade games 2-3 at a time and video gold lets you rent some amount of tv shows and movies each month.

thats y i got a ps3. on the ps3 u can go on the internet faster loading times then the 360 when downloading demos. plus for xbox u gotta pay 4 everything and it will brick soon!!! i can never get bored of going on sites on my ps3 its pretty much like a comp but w out a keyboard. well i think they should charge more~~~~!!!! they should let it b freegtap00ner

Downloads on xbox live are faster and dont install for 20 minutes and the internet browser is cumbersome at best

If sony can step up their Servace then eventually to compete MS will either have to create some super awesome upgrades or stop charging

Well, the PS2 having free online didn't affect Xbox Live...

So I would have to say no?

The PS2 barly had online capabilitys when sony challenge MS in the live department then expect changes

i was wondering about perhaps cheaper rates for X-Box users on Live?Only I took up my free 2months trial to Live so i can play Halo 2 online,but now i've subscribed to carry on using the service and i get charged the same as i would using a 360?-Gold account.sizzlingdviper

I think they should make Xbox Live free for those using the Xbox 1...

I just want to be able to play online for once. :cry: Lol.

live isn't that expensive and works much better than anything sony had for online support. At least with live you don't worry about dropped support for a game. I'm still mad there is no more support for MGS3 and RE:outbreak on the PS2 online anymore. That's probably the trend with playstation games as they get older since you're not paying.brkr12002

Exactly. Why do people cry and complain about it so much. It's not even the price of a game, and it lasts all year. If PSN ever got all the features of XBL then they'd probably start charging for it. Think about it. The system was 600 bucks. If they thought they could compete with Live, then they'd charge for it.

Because $50 is still $50... And not all of us have the money to spend such an amount at one time...

You can pay montly. And you realize that games cost 60, right? What do you do when you buy games? Pay 5 bucks a month until it's payed off?

I buy games for no more than $10 anymore. Games for the Xbox don't cost $60 unless they are really rare. So, no. I pay $5, and it's paid off. There's no waiting. Not everyone is current-gen. Some of us can't afford it. Kind of like I just said...
