Well i read once on the Ch4 teletext page 305, that maybe Xbox Live Gold would possibley become free after the release of the PS3 in Europe and its free online gaming service. I wondered if anyone agreed or had read this too? :D

Hadn't read it and this is very unlikely. From what I've heard PS3's services aren't anywhere near as good as XBL, so MS doesn't really have any motivation to reduce the price or give it for free..

Nope. Their would be virtually no maintenance or upgrades if it was free. So you wouldn't have all these new marketplace options, and if live went all buggy, MS could take their sweet time since no one is paying for the service. You get what you pay for...

I think it's more likely that Sony will have to start charging for their online service to get it up to the standard that gamers expect after XBL.

i actually glad you have to pay for it because 1) what people said you get a better quality service if you pay for it and 2) it prevents people from making 2445641321 accounts and pissing people off because of no feedback system or anything like that. what im saying is that LIVE isnt a noob free-for-all and i like it that way
