Oh boy... you're gonna keep arguing moneY? You aren't considering the games. My favorite games to play online aren't on the PS3. Hence, I payed extra to play the games I enjoy. I don't want settle with crap on PS3 because its free to play.

Its actually less than $420 because it became $60 just a few years ago. But that doesn't sound like a lot of money for 7 years of entertainment.

Spin it all you want, but the 360 is actually one of my cheapest entertainment expenses that I get a lot of value from. It doesn't matter if I can save money just playing my PS3 online. The problem is I don't care for what PS3 offers so its not worth my time even for free.

I am not asking this to start a war...

But what is it that you get when you pay for XBL Gold that you don't get for free on PC or PS3?

My favorite online games are 360 exclusives. That's the primary reason I pay.

I've taken advantage of many Deal of Weeks that are exclusive to Gold members. I probably own about 100 LIve Arcade games. That too has justified the costs of Live Gold.

I use and prefer multimedia apps on the 360, but its not the primary reason I pay.

I prefer gaming on consoles and my PC doesn't have the equipment to be connected to a television. Don't feel like making any investment in a better PC because I'm fine with my 360. But I do use my PC as a server to stream video to my Xbox.

If the 360 wasn't an option I guess I could settle with the PS3. But the 360 is an option and I don't mind paying the Gold fee to play what I prefer.
