When my live account expires, I'm tempted to buy a ps3 instead of buying one more year for xbox live. After using live for 2 almost years I wonder why I pay money for online gaming when there are free alternatives on the PC and PSN.
The should lower the costs instead of raising it: the quality difference of Live and PSN don't differ that much anymore.


does not compute.  drop live and buy a ps3 instead?

how does that monetary equation work?

Think long term .

this gen will be over by the time that pays off.

it computed for me. 

1. i was annoyed by not being able to play the games i bought (specifically the team fortres part of the orange box)

2. i bought me ps3 earlier in the gen so the $50 a year of live i figured about cost me about $250 which is obviously less then the $323 i spent on my ps3.  but...

3.  ...it also gave me access to a blu-ray player and all the ps3 exclusives which is worth something to me.  apperently it was worth at least $73.

to be fair, i'm more into epic single player games then online multiplayer games.  i just refuse to pay for something i don't use that much no matter how much better live is than psn.
