| I just had to get this off my mind cause of all the PS3 fanboys saying PSN is simply better than LIVE cause it's FREE.....PS3 fanboys are the ignorant ones in this regard.
LIVE has:
1) Everything PSN's Qore service has (Qore is $24.99 /year), including exclusive demos before anyone else, BETA invites, developer interviews, game interviews, etc.
2) Apps like 1 vs 100, Photo Party, Netflix & coming soon - Facebook, Twitter & Last.fm.
3) (COMING SOON) INSTANT Playing of 1080p/5.1 Dolby Digital movies.
4) Party Chat - PS3 users say it's not something they'd even use.....sounds like PlaySlaves have no friends.
5) Video/Text/Picture Messaging.
6) Universal Game Invites.
7) Custom Playlists/Music in EVERY GAME.
These are the reasons I do not mind paying $50 a yr (I usually find 1 yr XBL Gold's for $39.99!!!) for Xbox LIVE Gold.
WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU GUYS LOVE BEING XBL GOLD MEMBERS?! | |

| The best part of Live is how easy it is to chat with friends and jump in a game with them. It makes the world smaller which is good for everyone. | |

| For one LIVE for xbox 1 costed 50 per year and i guess it made sense to keep the business model.
but luckily as the TC stated, LIVE does have features that PSN doesnt have. Hell every pSN update gave features LIVE had since 2005 lol. | |

That's only about $0.13 a day. Chump change compared to what PS3 owners are going to pay for Final Fantasy 14's online subscription. It will probably be at least $10 a month. | |

I get 12 month Xbox LIVE gold subs for $39.99 every year, which equates to $3.33 /month.....all I have to do is not buy one milkshake or fast food sandwich each month. | |

You can burn cd's to your hard drive or plug in your MP3 player to your 360 and listen to whatever is on the MP3 player no matter what game you are playing. | |

| Live is just way better than PSN. Movies, live arcade, cross game chat, in my opinion GREAT servers and even little stuff like ign stratagize clips. Things like that make it worth the price which is not even that much money. It's one less coffee or soda every two days...hell almost 1 less coffee every 2 weeks.
PS3fantards just use the price as an excuse for their horrible online. | |

| Good points. I couldn't care about paying for XBL even if it didn't have all of those features because the fact is that 360 has more decent games than ps3 and so if paying that much means that I get to play the games I want to play, that's fine by me. Btw ps3 fantards never seem to stop contradicting themselves. Some say "you bought a 360 because it's cheaper and couldn't afford ps3" and then later on when you explain how the core system is cheaper but you pay for Xbox Live which brings up the money you spent on it higher than ps3 over time, they say "360 is a waste of money". LOL! | |

| Playstation Network is actually better. Dont get me wrong though! xbox live has a wider range of content! With online games such as killzone 2 and MetalGearOnline you cant go wrong on psn! and the exclusive dlc on xbox live is awesome! | |

Dude, you're saying psn is better because of 2 games despite that according to an average of every single critic rating, the 360's library is better than ps3's.....? Psn is good in its own right but 2 of ps3's 12 AAA games cannot compete with 360's 17 AAA games. | |
