It seems like everyone is ignoring a part of an Xbox Live Gold sub that Sony does not offer, cross game voice chat. Only Xbox offers this service.
The closest comparision I can think of is a Ventrilo server. A 10 slot server goes for about $2 to $3 per month. An Xbox live party can hold 8 players and, as someone pointed out earlier in this thread, you can get your Xbox live Gold sub for as low as $2 a month.
Whether or not you agree that $2 a month for cross game chat is worth it is irrelevant. I believe it is, and that is why I pay to keep it. Sony doesn't offer it, and neither does Nintendo.
As soon as a different company offers the same service for less we can talk.
