| PizzaFaceGamer said: 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. |
Mate Xbox live is a service that has been in the making for 8 years and it costs money. It should be better. However it only has a few features over PSN that justify that 60 bucks a year and if MS didn't have those features patented then Sonys free service would have had them a long time ago. If I was getting slapped in the face like that then I too would make a thread saying it was the people on the other service thats the ones getting slapped so I can keep some dignity.
In reality mate PSN is catching up to Xbox live with features so that 60 bucks a year is becoming less justifiable for them and if you think no its not, then just look back to the start of this gen and look at the features Xbox live had over PSN. Now look at what it has now over PSN and tell me they are not closing the gap.
