[QUOTE="UltimateRAGEX"]And another good thing about paying for Xbox Live is that it stops/discourages people from making multiple XBL accounts. I bet you get loads of that happening on PSN and Wii online...SoralinkGS
I wanna start my opinion to this topic by telling UltimateRAGEX that he is wrong on this point. It actually ENCOURAGES people to make many XBL accounts because Microsoft put a "1 month of gold for free for new accounts," making little kids decide to make a new account every freakin month.

Now, as for the topic, I agree that I do not mind paying for Xbox Live, seeing how I was paying for it back in Counterstrike/Rainbow Six 3 days(before Halo 2). A service like Xbox Live was amazing back in those days, making it worth paying for, with a unified friends list, (almost) garanteed voice chat for every player, Downloadable content, and so on. Now, coming to this generation, I decided to turn on my Playstation 3, and after the usual hassle I run into(An error has occured: can't log into PSN aka "I don't like linksys router so I'm not going online with it"...force system to go online) Motorstorm comes on. Waiting on painfully long update for Motorstorm...go faster...its been like 5 min...watch the internet kick out...alright, I was going to check and see if PSN had unified Friends list because if I remember, I had to add friends on Resistance seperate from XMB. Seeing how I don't bother going online on PS3 since hardly anybody, including me, had any way to chat with each other before Warhawk came out with an included headset, I thought it would be wise to check, but if this update(now 10 min) is gonna take this long and I'm not going to try that stupid "open ports" thing because I couldn't log into the system after that...*sigh* this isn't bashing of the system because I enjoy my PS3 (can't wait for Folklore and Uncharted!!!!), this just makes me cry...when my X360 logs on and can updates games under 1 minute and my PS3 can't even handle logging in and updates take 5 mins of downloading AND installing...Yea, motorstorm finally finished updating...what? reset my Playstation 3 to finish installion? what is that?...
alright, enough of that. I agree with topic creator, you pay for what you get...end of line.
So, you're complaining about a router you're not configuring right, which no doubt isnt running with your PS3 in DMZ which forces slow downloads as anyone knows, then you goto the game released on day 1 which was released without any PSN code in it to check PSN features, the complain when all this adds up to you getting problems... wow, seems like the PS3 needs to trade YOU in.
