Which is $60 a year, or $480 for 8 years (roughly the length of this console generation). 

$480 doesn't seem bad considering we're talking about almost a decade of entertainment.

I'm not a rich man, but I can easily afford the $60 A YEAR to play games I prefer online. Although, I never actually have paid $60 thanks to eBay and Amazon.

The PS3 is almost a decade of entertainment, but people weren't too enthusiastic about paying $600.

People weren't enthusiastic about paying $600 for a console with a crappy library. I feel PS3 didnt get strong exclusives until about 2008-09. At that point the hardware was significantly cheaper.

I think a lot of people buy a Xbox with no intention of playing online. But MS pushes it so hard that people eventually give in and do subscribe. MS doesn't get any credit for really getting people interested in online gaming. Which forced Sony to make their online service better. Hence, PSN wouldn't be as strong without XBL. Anyone who even enjoys PS Plus should thank MS for forcing Sony to compete.

definitely agree... competition has most certainly made both services better (especially sony's)
