PS3 fanboys always bring up the price of live, and then pay $25 a year for Qore to get into betas

 

Qore doesn't even exist in most of the world.   What a garbage statement.

 

 

Different between Live and PSN?   For PSN, the developer/Sony foot the bill, for Live you foot the.  It is that simple. 

 

Yes I think it is that simple.  And that is what I don't agree with.  The developer and Microsoft should be the ones to foot the bill not the consumers.  That cost should have already been included in the console/game cost.  All those that pay for Live and are championing how superior it is if you had the choice between a free service equivalent to that on PS3 or the service you get now for $50 would you go for the free or the PS3 type service?  I would suggest that out of every 10 people that say they would pay the $50 1 is being honest, 8 are liars and the other is blinded by fanboyism.
