You know, for a while now, PS3 owners have been saying that if everything else on Xbox Live were $50 a year and the online was free, hardly anyone would pay the annual fee for Live. I fought this argument, tooth and nail. I swore that the bonus features of Live were my main reason for paying the $50 a year and that if the PSN offered a similar program, I'd sign up for it.
Turns out, I was full of shit.
Carry on.
