However, I WILL say that the three big reasons on here to not buy a 360 are pretty bogus:

1. Don't wanna pay for live. Whatever. Sony milks me for $35 a year in other ways (Qore, Home knickknacks, etc.), and Live is totally worth it. If you don't think so, you're not using it, or at least not fully.

 

I've never bought an episode of Qore, nor have I ever paid for superficial DLC (anything in home, paid LBP costumes, paid themes). the fundamental difference is that Microsoft forces you to pay just to play the games you paid for online. That has always been my problem, because online play has historically been free unless it's an mmorpg. Period. In this case it's not the actual money, because $40 a year isn't much, it's the principle. Microsoft's Windows Live service tried to charge users in a similar approach to Xbox Live, but failed miserably and MS was forced to provide the service for free. There is no good reason why Microsoft can't make online play free, while retaining certain Gold only perks.
