I fork out money for Live because it has cross-game chat, a proper invites/join system, a party mode for up to 8 players, demos of every downloadable game, most demos of boxed games before PSN does (in some cases, PSN doesn't get them at all), cheaper DLC a lot of the time, free game videos/shows I can watch via Inside Xbox, voice messaging, a proper reputation system so I can easily ignore retards, 6 different communication channels that I can switch between whenever I like, 1 Vs. 100 with real prizes and so on. It's 50 pence a week mate, about the same as a small bar of chocolate. Later this year/early next year I will get Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, Sky TV, Zune Video Marketplace and instant play 1080p streaming movies too. What features will I get in the next PS3 update? Animated themes and a redesigned friends list? lol.
Everyone has a PC, so if you're going to argue that Facebook, Twitter etc. on the 360 is useless because you can do it for free on the PS3, I'd say that's useless as I can do it for free on my PC, and I can use a proper web browser to do it. The difference is, the 360 features will be integrated into the dashboard, so it offers a different experience to using a web browser and therefore it's attractive for different reasons. The PS3 does an inferior job to a PC and that's it.
