Xbox Live is horribly over-priced. I have to pay a whole 50 pence a week and all I get in return is this: -
Party mode for up to 8 players
6 communication channels that you can switch between at any one time (the game, party, 3 private voice chat channels, video chat)
Cross-game chat
Private voice chat
Proper invites/join system for every game
Voice messaging
Netflix streaming
Reputation system so you can ignore or prefer players globally
Report system for reporting abuse through the console itself
Inside Xbox that provides free video shows such as SentUAMessage
The ability to see what game your friends are playing and what exactly they're doing in that game
1 Vs. 100, a multiplayer quiz show with prizes
Leaderboards built into the dashboard that use Live data to show high score tables without you having to launch the game
Demos of every single downloadable title (one thing I hate about PSN)
Windows Live Messenger support, so you can chat to your friends via any device that can run that
Cheaper DLC quite often, the COD map packs being one example (£1.19 more expensive per pack on PSN)
New games added to the XBLA every week
Plus all the other minor bits and pieces that make Live superior to PSN.
What a rip-off! I'm not gonna pay for Live anymore. I'm going to spend the money on Mars bars instead. I can have 1 a week. Yippeeeeee!!!
