| mibuokami said: It's interesting to see the perspective. Many people here FEELS that Sony should chage for online because its a revenue stream, its almost like a given fact that online subscription fee should be implimented. Go back ten year and very idea of paying to play online would have been absurd :). Ah the time! |
It's interesting that despite fairly comparable features between the two services. Many people would 'never' pay for PSN but 'gladly' will pay for XBL. Me personally, I think Xbox Live is a complete rip off. People claiming Sony is stupid for not capitalizing on a revenue stream, just aren't getting the point. It's about providing a similar online experience at no additional cost to the consumer (Which apparently is going over peoples heads).
Considering PC gaming has had free online gaming for years in everything outside of the MMO realm (Which is understandable given thousands of players in a constant interactive world simultaneously.) What exactly are you paying for on Xbox Live? Paying to play 1v1 Madden online? Or limited FPS / TPS action games? It's a joke IMO.
