I think Party chat is essential, I'm surprised PS3 doesn't have it, but paying $60 a year for that? It's useless if you're not continuously subscribed to XBL.
My issue is how inconsistant Microsoft is, not just with XBL, but with the 360 in general. If I uplocad saves to cloud, and then revert to Silver Status, I can't access my saves. Literally, I have to pay to continue my games if I use cloud. Also just yesterday, after the update, my 360 almost never booted (kept freezing after it logged my profile one), and I realized if my 360 broke, I basically lost all my saves, since the new 360 uses a different hard drive.
I also hate this shit reliability, I'm on my 4th X-box (all repaired under warrenty), but it was a brand new HDMI model, and it's less then 3 years old. My DS is 7 years old, has a huge dent in it, and runs fine, what's wrong with you MS?
Next gen, I won't get a 720 until the gen is almost over and they start selling casual consoles for $150 or so. It makes no sense buying a 720 early, when it's just going to break midway through the generation, and when you're going to hold off playing online because XBL is so expensive.
