What makes it special? What makes Xbox Live worth it?

2 broad terms that have a lot of little reasons each.

- Its seamless to get where you want

- Talking and playing with friends is very easy.

- More entertainment access (especially with dashboard update)

And overall: You pay money for the best. Its called being a console elitist. You can say that money doesn't get in the way when trying to enjoy the best form of online gaming, something PSN users can never say since they sacrifice quality for being free.

So you're saving up for a decent PC then?

Also, that's nonsese.  The only difference between PSN and Live regarding online is the cross-game/party chat.  The actual gameplay is the same - CoD/MW plays and feels exactly the same on both.

By now youd think LIVE is more about simply playing someone else online.......cmon. This whole thread tells you exactly what Live has over PSN. To say otherwise is ignorance. 

And im talking purely consoles. PC never enters the equation and frankly, is to me an excuse PS3 fans like to use to combat Live superiority.

Live offers nothing over PSN online except cross-game/party chat in terms of exclusive differences - although for many it's a big different and I'd agree if you play online a lot with the same group of friends it makes Live a fair bit better.

Outside that I'd need you to list differences because as a dual owner (360 and PS3) I don't see any.  Most of the recent 360 updates are catching Live overall offering up to PSN not moving it ahead in terms of TV, etc.

I mention PC simply because you mention cost.  If you're going to buy the best that remains a PC.  You get everything plus more consoles offer with better media support and more open connectability.  I was just teasing in that I know and saw you put "consoles"... but let a guy tease without overly being serious about it.
