| Lord N said: That's $50 for every year that you own the console. For just one generation, that's $250, and it keeps adding up if you buy MS's next console. With that $250, you could buy: 4-5 extra games Several extra controllers and a charge station. Another console Sony doesn't charge to play online for the PSP and PS3, Nintendo doesn't charge play online for the DS and Wii, and with the exception of MMO's, it's also free on the PC. I already pay $50/month for broadband, so I'm not paying even more to go online with a console. I've used both Xbox Live and the PSN, and as far as online gaming goes, the latter is just as good as the former in my book. That considered, XBL doesn't offer anything more that warrants the fee. |
Couple of small points you can get the online retail 12 month card on sale for $40-$45.00 if you look around. Second you get 13 months for that price
PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.
Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game
