i think this is a worn out topic.. but most Xbox non-fans like to bring up how XBlive cost 59.99 a year.. but from a relaibility stand point and features Live simply has more to offer.. they usually have it first.. they had netflix almost 2 yrs before PSN and the first year PSN had to use a netflix disc.. and although PSN has a sports equivalent , I like ESPN on XB Live..
If you can't afford 59.99 a year ( only 4.99 a month ) you honestly have no business buying expensive video games multiple times a year for your console.. because if you already can't afford to EAT....an additional $4.99 a month might mean you cant afford to SLEEP ?!
I spend more money on a week of drinking 'mountain dew' soda then i do on a month of Xbox Live.. Im pretty sure the average person spends more money weekly on pretty trivial stuff as well.. my brother buys a new game for his PS3, Xbox 360, Wii almost monthly.. If you're doing well enough to buy alot of games yearly then the PSN free / Xb Live cost argument holds little value because GAMING is not a necessity, its entertainment and entertainment is never free.. If you buy a console to play ONE game you love such as those who play COD ( therefore meaning you can waste money to buy a console to play a single game ) it means nothing.. If you own all three consoles like my brother.. it means nothing.. If you own a PS3 and want to say how MUCH of a rip off 4.99 a month is I guess thats fine..

its the principal, they are charging us to pay for a feature in a game we ALREADy bought. If they want to have extra features like ESPN for Gold, thats fine, but at the very least silver members should be able to play games online
