If you chip your xbox and then continue to play online you are pretty dumb, its obvious they are going to detect you and ban you. People saying 'I just chipped is so I could use another hard-drive, I'd never play a copied game' are being disingenuous to say the least.

I just want online play and a store.

I dont care about anything else.

If those are free. Its cool.

Else, they can go **** themselves.

Guess it depends on what a free service would end up looking like, if they kept all the popular wanted features like cross game chat to a gold membership I think a few would have issues, I wouldn't myself.

Killzone single players is really good, Killzone online (for me anyway) is a flawed gem is has some great features but it feels like you are playing in treacle. It also doesn't have that many people playing online a few thousand max, so its not that varied online. OSDT feels a bit slicker and you have far more people online so tha game matching works a little better.

So what's MS's excuse for charging the same amount for multiplayer games and charging the consumer for Live? Games are $60 on both consoles. Where do you see Ps3 Devs passing costs to consumers? It's part of their budget.Zero_epyon

its called marketing. sony has to make money some how. i hate how people complain about things that are free.Laxer04

So if I don't buy a PSN game, how am I being charged?Chutebox

PSN is free...Chutebox

If it keeps it free Sony can self promote all they want as long as it doesn't interfere with the gaming. Zero_epyon

I don't like it.

It's basically a visual update of the XMB and a better way for Sony to throw their products down our throats.
