on psn everything is just better, i can play my online games when i want without having to pay a penny. i mosly use the psn features weekly imo theres no comparison to be made. live has a few extra bells but not worth a charge. |
Funny you say that and I'd have Gold membership for 5 years.
I'm grown and can make my own decision, financially and the like. I love not paying for something. However, free doesn't equal better. I enjoy LIVE. I liked LIVE so much I bought a chatpad for one of my controllers. I enjoy it.
As a reviewer, I have to be unbiased. I approach every game the same way - sell me on why anyone should pay $50, $60 for it.
As you know, look at the membership numbers. More people are paying for LIVE than PSN. That's a given. But just as you say you wouldn't pay anything for LIVE, several, myself included, say we would. Really, it's $30 a year for LIVE - barely $3 a month for it. And that's .10 a day. I find value in LIVE - and just SMH at PSN. A lot like it because it's free - but let Sony wise up and start charging for the service, I can bet you folks perception of PSN would change.
As stated, I avoid PSN like the plague. It often leaves me confused - even after spending time with it and trying to get into the mind of PSN lovers and wonder 'What do they see in it beside it being free?'
