SONY: Don't Pay For XBL, Pay For Designer Stuff Instead

Yeah! If Sony started a premium service that cost like $5.00/month and gave you $5.00 worth of Playstation Store credit, I would clearly never buy it, because it doesn't have the word "Live!" on the end, and I don't go for studio recordings -- I want the real thing.

Even worse is that the current system is like an optional premium service, where you don't pay if you don't want anything from the store that month. I like to plan ahead with my bills -- if I am playing online for 5 years (you know, typical console lifespan), I want to schedule my $250 worth of payments and get... well that "Live!" word, and I like to pretend that its less laggy too so there's that. ...and no of course I have never compared the two directly... why would I use something other than Live!?

Live! only costs me just one month out of the year if I get the annual subscription too -- so that's 11 of 12 months for free!  Just the same as PSN, almost.

Live! for da w1n!

This dude is funny.
