It's always fun to hear from so many Sony fans concerned for the wallets of the poor 360 consumer. Free would indeed be better than a paid service if they were the same, but they're not so it isn't.

By the way, my USB wireless keyboard plugged into my 360 makes typing anything easy anyway for the guy so concerned about typing a status update.

Plugging my USB keyboard into my PS3 also allows me the same thing. Moot point sir.

 You cannot divide by zero...unless you're a PS3, cause it only does EVERYTHING.

 

Anyway, back on topic. Anyone that pays for Live feels it is worth it and that's fine. PSN is catching up to Live, this cannot be denied, and a service close to Live which is Free is a much better value than a slightly better service for 50 bucks a year.


PSN is catching up with Live but why has it taken over 3 years?  A service thats not equivalent cannot be better value in any way other than subjectively for each individual user, the fact so many people pay $50 a year to experience Gold access suggests your statement is false for a significant number of gamers.  Taking away feature lists and considering the experiences as a whole PSN is still a way off being the fully integrated service Live is and thats where many see the value of the service.  You're welcome to your opinion that PSN is a better value propostition for yourself but owning both consoles myself I still prefer Live and don't mind the fee for the service I receive.
