I do think that XBox Live is better than PSN...but its not $50-60 (a year) better.

My PS3 recently broke, and I was contemplating buying a 360 instead (because of Reach), but after playing online for the past 4 years with no fees, I just can't bring myself to pay for essentially another game just to play online.

I only buy 2-3 games a year, so having to pay for Live would cut down the number of games I buy a year possibly in half.  I know thats probably not the usual for people here on this site, so maybe a lot of people can't sympathize with that.

My 2 cents.

Is it worth $25 a year?  that's... $2.08 a month.

I don't know exactly what the magic value is, but the lower the better ha.
