Um....yeah...Sony didnt charge people for online because the consensus before Microsoft came with a pay to play online policy was that online is a right that people already pay for when they pay their daily bills. The online servers are not dedicated unless the third party makes it so. People voted with their wallets that online gaming is no longer a right. They dont want rights...simple.
Xbox Live cannot cost zero to $60. Base price for the year is $60 if you want the year, if you want a lower price for the year look some place else. Do what my friend did, threaten Microsoft to cut off Xbox Live and they'll give you three years like they did him for the price of one year. Xbox Live doesn't need to paid for, which is why Microsoft does 2 months for two dollar deals. They just want nickels and dimes as I said before.
Its good that you like Xbox Live rewards...if you want to run their errands for very little thats you.
Xbox Live has just as many weekly deals as Free PSN as I said before.They are mostly trying to sell DLC and games that are no longer trending. I checked this morning.

Um, yeah Sony didn't charge because it was the consensus. LIVE was here and had a pay policy before Sony even had an inkling of PSN. If everything was based on consensus, then I don't see many people paying for anything. You pay for Xbox LIVE because you pay for the service they provide. If you don't like it, don't use it. That is very simple. If it was really that bad then MS will be forced to drop the yearly fee and just find another source of revenue. Since that hasn't happen, plenty of people are willing to pay for the service they provide.
Xbox LIVE cannot be a lower price, then you say it can be a lower price? That makes no sense. I paid $60 for $13 months last year and recieved a $60 game. To me I either got a free game or a free 13 month subscription to LIVE. 12-13month gold cards regularly cost ~$30 - $60 depending on various sales throughout the year. There are usually better deals by going through offers on LIVE.
I am fine with LIVE rewards as I said. Why don't you just discuss an issue stop with the pointless negative connotations. It's free, don't like it don't use it.
So, they have weekly deals and so does PSN. Are these games no longer trending in your opinion? Where is this list of $1200 in savings every month that PSN+ members get. I would like this see what $1200 worth of items are available for PSN members every month. I sure didn't find that much free stuff when I had it.

Pretty sure he meant annually, not monthly. That makes much more sense. I don't know if it would be $1200 but you could add up the price of all the items I listed earlier in this thread...if you are bored or something.
