Mr Puggsly said: Amazing, you still just don't get it. The benefit for a lot of us it ability to play games we prefer. PS3 has a ton of online games I could play for free... but I'd rather spend my time playing something I enjoy. I don't know your financial situation, but $60 is not a lot of money to me for something I will use all year. "You're virtually buying the game and paying for a service that will not exist anymore in a few years. How you consider that money well spent is beyond me." I'm paying for entertainment now and its a relatively small amount. You ever go to the movie theater? You simply pay for entertainment for that moment. You ever eat out? Once again, you are just paying for a moment of entertainement. Some sort of fee is justified considering its not free to offer online services. For many years PSN was in the red. I presume PSN Plus is finally making PSN profitable. Its not a charity since I feel what I get from the service is worth what I pay. For someone who claims to care about how people spend their money... you sure care an awful lot. Anyhow, just bear in mind competition is a good thing. You think PSN would be as good without MS creating such a fantastic service? Its seems like almost everything Sony does is a response to Xbox. MS forces Sony to compete and make their service better. So even if you dislike MS, you atleast owe them thanks for making PSN great. |
Holy cats. Wow. I won't lie, this post floored me. Is it just Sony and people who have a Sony device who need to get on thier knees and bow to Microsoft in thanks, or should Nintendo and Nintendo fans also join the praise-wagon? I guess you're right, though, in that Sony had done absolutely nothing in gaming until the Xbox came out. And here I was thinking the Xbox was at least a tiny bit inspired by the PS1 and PS2. Silly me. And the fact that it would be impossible for you to enjoy any online game on PSN ... wow. Now I feel bad for thinking Journey was a pretty good game.
Seriously, though, I give Microsoft a lot of credit, and I think they've done a lot of things right, but don't you think you're being a little over-zealous in you praise? They really, really aren't the only source of inspiration in the gaming world, you know.
