You make it sound like a unified service is good coughPSNcough. You get infinitely better service from the internet on Windows than you do from LIVE, and lo and behold, it's all for thw wonderful price of $0. Furthermore, do you pay for LIVE on the PC?

Xbox Live is far and away superior to PSN as well. It is the best unified service for all these services and features, and is accessible with intuitive and much more appealing interfaces than a simple internet browser. Paying $4 a month for that convenience and the ability to enjoy it all from the comfort of my living room seems like a steal to me. I wouldn't pay for LIVE on the PC because it is free to current Xbox LIVE subscribers  :)


So because you are lazy you get inferior product for more money. Understood.

Edit: I want you to show me exactly how you know that LIVE security is any better than PSN's, and how it can avoid being screwed over completely.

Lol what? Wow your logic fails. First off, it is NOT the inferior product, it is the superior one. A browser interface can simply never match the GUI and features available to the custom Xbox Live apps for these services. Maybe when Windows 8 comes out, the PC will have a similar, intuitive, and intelligent interface... oh wait it will because Xbox Live will be on PC! :) And it's not laziness, it's called convenience. I work 52 hours a week, still manage to go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and somehow maintain a social life in all of that so I hardly think you could call someone like myself "lazy" lol

I can't show you exactly how Xbox Live is more secure, just as you can't show me how it ISN'T more secure than PSN. What I can say is that no college professors or internet forums have posted ANY information regarding Xbox Live servers without something as basic as a firewall installed! (LOL at Sony)
