I just picked up a $20 PSN card and I wanted to buy Battlefield 1943 but I just wanted to know from BF1943 players if there are enough people still playing for it to be worth it. If not what other PSN games should I get?
idk maybe i'm just stupid but i'm not that excited about a new, HD brickbreaker. i would love if you could sway my opinion, but what do you see in it? how much does it cost also?
So what this means is that there is more incentive for publishers to put downloadable games on xbla.

yeah pretty much. that's why the fallout 3 DLC was on xbox live and games for windows live first, because it was free for Bethesda. that's not why, they made a deal w/ microsoft. they already made it, and even if no one downloaded it off psn, they wouldn't lose money. they only have money to gain there.
[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Yes its true, although fanboys dont see it as a problem. They seem to think "as long as its free for me, im cool" but that same attitude is why there is so much more content on XBL as opposed to PSN, and why XBL gets most of the stuff first, so it can help pay for the PSN release. Publishers have to pay 16 cent per gig downloaded on PSN. There is no charge on XBL because the membership fees subsidize it.navyguy21
xbl makes you pay for downloadable context as well as online.
Dude, i know by your posting history that you are a Sony fanboy, but ill attempt to explain it anyway. I NEVER said that it subsidizes PRICES for content did I?? I said it subsidizes the BANDWIDTH FEES that are accrued when downloading content via PSN. On PSN, if a publisher releases a FREE DEMO, they still have to pay sony money per gig downloaded, and THAT FEE is paid for by xbox live subscribers. Im not trying to bash PSN, im stating facts, calm down dude geez. What does a 3rd party dev supposed to do if they wanna release FREE DLC, bu the STILL HAVE TO GO INTO THEIR OWN POCKET on PSN?? Or what if said DLC doesnt do well, and now the dev/publisher is out money. This DISCOURAGES publishers from releasing content unless they are sure the return is worth the risk.......GEEZ. That 49.99 a year goes to pay for more than playing online, but im sure fanboys know that anyway, they just wanna bash it anyway, does it make you feel better?? i'm sure there are just as many struggling devs on xbla since there game may be overshadowed by other games. imo they are pretty equal in terms of friendliness to devs.
