To some extent, the wii is being backhand by Balmer and Co as well. First of all Microsoft has more money than nintendo and sony. MS DOES NOT NEED to charge for online, but they do. I once asked my uncle why a dog licks his balls, his response "because he can." Same thing goes for MS. Yes, xbox live offers unparralleled, unmatched, and unrivaled features. But is it really worth $50-60 a year? Well, it doesn't matter what I think because MS IS GONNA DO WHAT THEY WANT. And let me tell you right now, MS is NOT scared of sony or nintendo. PROOF: They have the balls to INCREASE the price of something their competition is GIVING AWAY FOR FREE. Brazenly, MS rolls ahead with price increases in an economic depression. Patcher said a few years back that if the PSN takes off, xbox live will go free. Faced with increased competition, the opposite has happened. Microsoft is saying to ninty and sony, we don't care what you give away or do with your online networks, we aren't scared of losing customers to you, and we will do what we want. Why??? Because they can
Before anyone tries to get cute and say "well actually it's a slap in the face to xbox owners" I will politely tell you that you are wrong. Why?? Because xbox liver is the best, most integrated online COMMUNITY!! And the enormous amount of people playing online prove this beyond the shadow of a doubt.

I wish mine did that. All it ever says is game.exe has shut down.
I'm sorry, I had to do that. OT, I'm not quite sure about a slap to PSN; For Blazblue andDemon's Souls it works absolutely fine, bar DS's crappy co-op system. But that isn't PSN's fault. I'd pay for PSN, maybe not as much, if I had to after playing DS online.
As for the Wii, I'm still waiting to be able to play SSBB online without ridiculous lag.
As for XBL price increase, I just had to renew my subscription and did it for $29.99 because of the deal they have. So I'm good for the next year. I'd imagine that for people newly renewing though that is more like a kick to the face then a slap.
