think of it this way, instead of paying whatever free for XBL, i could be eating lunch, taking my family out for dinner, or going to the movies with that money, with PSN i dont need to worry about a fee that'll pop outta know-where. im sure XBL is good, but its not for those who dont want or need to recklessly spend extra money. Free online is the one thing i have to admit Sony did 100% right this gen.


I strongly disagree with this...beacuse of 1 reason.

Matchmaking with similarly ranked people.

Most of the best games that have matchmaking integrate a system where you won't get your ass handed to you every time you log in. Street Fighter 4, Halo 3, COD, Gears...etc. They will match you with people with similar stats as yours...or atleast try.

Since PSN is free, nothing stops a player that is ranked higher in a game from creative a new account every month and owning people that are jsut learning to play the game. Happens on xbox 360 despite people having to pay for their accounts...I can imagine how bad this is on PS3.

 

thats not even a valid point (unless you are talking about them intergrating that in the future)

No one does that on the PSN ( I play CoD4 almost daily)

If a "skilled" player makes a new PSN account his gonna be a level one Private (the orange traingle without the bottom) and your gonna be thrown into a game with random ranked people.You might end up playing with all 10th level prestiged players so it wont matter if you make a new account.

Besides what would be the point in making new account after new account ? you cant transfer those stats from one to the other. You cant do anything with them
