Pretty much what I felt after getting PS3 late this gen. I felt dumb for paying MS for live while everything major it offers is free elsewhere. And MS is not to blame because they are feeding on my stupidity. I truly feel dumb and don't intend to repeat this mistake again next gen.


Thats probably why the COD numbers have grown on the PS3. People have become aware of what they are getting on the PS3 and the availability of COD is still there free from online charges. The veil is dwindling but I dont think it is in the US.


I live in the US and most people I know who are 360 fans don't care about ANYTHING Sony offers. I try to explain that they are missing out on some great experiences with exclusives and that PSN+ is actually a really great service but they literally just don't care. A lot of them are my friends too and we end up getting into arguements all the time. They still use tired and old arguements of "Playstation has no games" or "360 has better online". I show them all the exclusives and they just scoff. I know for a fact they are pretending they don't care since i've shown a few of them trailers/gameplay from certain exclusives and they get super excited. Then I tell them it's a PS3 exclusive and they go straight to hating it. It's kind of ridiculous and actually upsets me since a fair amount of these people are my friends.

I have no idea why their hatred for Sony outweighs their love of videogames. I still feel like  most of the people who prefer the 360 only do so because it's popular atm. The media loves Microsoft and loves to hate Sony, especially at the beginning of the gen. People here still associate Sony with all that negativity from its launch. Which astounds me because if you were a REAL gamer you would realize that things are way different now compared to back then.

I really feel like Microsoft could only make barbie and sesame street games from now on, but as long as the media and microsofts marketing makes people believe they are the best, people would still say 360 > PS3. It's a shame and I wish a lot of those superficial "gamers" would simply leave.
