I don't mind if my online service for a console has a fee, but if it does, there should be more done to the actual playing games online than other features.

I'm willing to pay less than $4 a month for better online play + Netflix.

If you want to compare the 360 to the PS3 please do it in System Wars

XBL gets most of the stuff earlier than PS3. Also we get stuff the PS3 doesnt like DLCs.

I highly recommend Netflix...it's worth the Gold fee alone.

Yeah, we pay to play online - it's $50 a year which divids out to 14 cents a day - I can find 14 cents under my couch cushions, it's not that big a deal. Don't be so cheap.

DLC, Arcade games and other downloadable stuff is available to Silver members. Gold is really just for the online gameplay service, and it also gets you demos of games earlier than Silver members.

You get what you pay for. And in the case of the PS3 it isn't all that much since it's free. I actually would prefer paying for online on my PS3...if that meant they added all the 360 features. I just don't feel as connected.

So you don't watch many movies nor play your Xbox 360 (significant investment) and yet you play your PS3 'always'? You're not fooling anyone fanboy!

Here is my thing. For a little less than the cost of a new XBox 360 game, you get like 13 months of LIVE service. If you play your 360 a lot and have the money to spend on new games, why not just get a year + 1 month card?

I just don't like making silver members wait a week to get new demos. It has nothing to do with playing online so it shouldn't be part of a gold membership.

I think he means 360 in general gets a lot of exclusive DLC. Not just that it requires a Gold to get DLC.

PS3 online is free because, like the console- it's inferior.

I'm happy to be paying for it, the way I see it is the more money MS has the more we will get from arcade andDLC.

umm, what dlc is exlcusive besides the gta stuff?

and you get way more free stuff on psn, wallpapers and themes and such, free costumes for lbp and mgs4 etc... does xbl not charge for EVERYTHING!?!

and you know microsoft isand as far as demos go, i had the batman demo on my ps3 before i did on xbl...

i like the avatar and the navigation a little better for the friends list but i hate all the ads on xbl, i think the ps store is much easier to navigate through.

xbl pros

playing music during games

cross party chat

ps3 pros

free

free

free

ps store is much easier to navigate through

you use your credit card, not buy stupid ms points first.
