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!

Hello Boss, i see you are at it yet again, stealth troll detected.

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?!

you can get it cheaper then that on amazon 13 month. for 39.99. thats like 5 cents a day.

You don't need Xbox Live to do that, now do you.

Hmmm how do u access Netflix? I'm not on gold at the moment but I don't know how you're supposed to use it and also, does it cost extra to the £5 a month?

50 bucks is pocket change as everyone is saying
we get discount at many themes games e.tc
i love hanging out with my english friends it is really fun when they ask me totalk swedish

so basicly everything is much easier to do
and i would pay more than 50 bucks if i had to

if you live in europe like me you cant have access netflix but we are getting something else called something? i saw it on sentUAmessage

You can get 13 months for $30 if you know where to look.

more people actually play online on the 360, over 300,000 people were playing online on halo 3 like 2 days ago and thats a game from 2 years ago.

yeah people in europe are getting a little thing called SKY!

I pay for LIVE because uhhh, it's better duh.

Just people in England, Scotland and Wales. If you are in Northen Irland, sucks to be you.

Rest of Europe gets absolutly nothing right now, i heard some speculations of SF (Svenska Filminstitutet) will try to get there massive media library on to consoles soon. This will only be in Sweden, mayby Finland and Norway.

We all know that $50 a year for xbox live is worth it, tired of these ps3 fanboys talking crap lol, they're butt-hurt cause the psn sucks, they dont even have party chats lmao.. we get games on demand, party photo/chats, we get demos first, we got a neat dashboard, we got an msn messenger, we get game news, plus we getting facebook, twitter, last.fm and more.. how all of these not worth $50 a year? comon is only 50$ a year thats nothing lol

its 1 time fee for one thing its not like we pay 12 times a year

I also get 12 month Gold Subs online for $39.99 flat rate.

The money for live is definately worth every cent. If PSN was to cost money, everybody would leave because it's simply ONLY worth free. Shit, you would have to PAY me to play their shitty online!
XboxLIVE is the best thing I have spent my money on! (other than the Xbox 360)

Yeah that costs extra though right?

becuz xbox can make party and playonline play one of the biggest online games and psn dosen't even have that many players i only c like 10 matches in killzone2 it sucks i wasted my $400

I think that PS3 owners bring up this 50 buck a year thing is because they want to make us look stupid for paying $50 for playing online. I mean do I think its worth $50 buck. No. But it is nothing but pocket change. I mean if you saved up 5 bucks every month for 1 year. You would end up with 60 bucks. You can use that extra 10 for some Maintain Dew Code Red and chips lol.

Yeah lol but then again, although it doesn't seem worth it, imagine you had no next-gen system. Imagine you're obsessed with playing online and you want the best possible online experience, would you go for the seriously crappy's wii's free service? Nooo! Would you go for ps3's currently free service that offers a fair bit of stuff but lacks in quite a few areas? Probably not.
Would you go for 360 that has a fee but gives you the best, most reliable and dynamic online service available? I would think so.

If you're in doubt of whether it's worth it or not, put yourself in the shoes of someone who would want the best online experience.
Why settle for second best?

The reason i like Xbox live more is because of the dashboard the avatars (ps3 fanboys think ps home is avatars but its just a online life game they dont represent ur whole gaming experience they only represent you in that game) the cross game chat and simply because it feels more comfortable searching for games and other downloads (and i like how they show the top rated games, best selling ect. xbl owns psn

PS3 fanboys are just butthurt because no matter what they say they know for a fact that PSN sucks and Xbox Live is a vastly superior online service in every way. And if you cant afford 50 bucks a year than you have no business owning a next gen console anyway. PS3 fanboys remind me of parrots saying the same thing that their master Sony has taught them over and over. 50 bucks a year, no built in wifi, no bluray blah blah blah. lol

I dont pay $50 yet, but I will whenever I get my own Xbox 360 so I dont have to share one with my brother XD
