Xbox Live is the best thing ever. Nothing can even touch it.
20 million unique users (not accounts) with probably 12 million paying users can't be wrong. I mean PSN is good for what it is, a free service, but if you want the best experience you can think of, get xbox live gold.
ahh yeah and btw: who pays $50 these days?
And I am GLAD MS Points exist. If not I would have to pay 10€ / Arcade game e.g. With special offers, MS Points from UK etc I am at 6-7€.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
