At least we are getting some real value with the subscription services with the monthly plus and games with gold games. Other than a unified friends list old school live didn't give you much value.

I bought into it as an exclusive club with a membership fee. All the subsequent perks are like icing on the cake.

Ease of use. Seamless voice chat. Solid infrastructure. It was more than a friend's list. It's the roadmap for how online gaming took shape. I have never regretted paying for it ever.

It's so refreshing to see PS owners rationalizing how it's perfectly O-KAY to pay for online play---just like we use to do.

The PS fans who said they would never pay to play online last gen were definitely some of the worst. We all know they would have paid if Sony told them to. But it was a good bullet point for the PS3. No doubt, the 360 was a much better all around online experience and worth every penny to me but like i said in my previous post. Lots of gamers just don't care about the bells and whistles. If they can fire up Call of Duty and shoot people for 5-6 hours a night that's all that matters to them.

Microsoft could have axed all the hate and did a subscription service like Sony did. Silver members get to play online for free. Gold members get the total package for a reasonable $30 a month. That's all they had to do. But like capitalist America does, they got greedy for the money. And i don't blame them. They're a business, so it is what it is. Both would be charging this gen regardless, so whatever. I'm just glad we're getting a solid service on both ends. I don't mind paying for quality.

Actually Microsoft provided a very secure infrastructure for their members. I don't recall their service going down for over a month and stolen credit card numbers and other personal identity information. Nothing is free in life. You get what you pay for.

It went down for two weeks during Christmas of 2007 when Call of Duty 4 released and stolen accounts have always been an issue on Xbox Live. You get what you pay for but i'm not sure why you think Live is untouchable when it's not. Anon could have chosen to take down Live instead of PSN if they wanted to. Good thing the PS3 had all those awesome single player games so PS fans had more than enough to play during the downtime.
