Kain_kusanagi you should stop posting already. You are making yourself look bad. We are basically comparing at the moment PSN with Xbox live. Basically PSn does everything that Xbox live does and for free. PSN+ offers a lot more for a cheaper fee and it is optional. So at this point we should be focusing on PSN, Nintendo, Steam which provide a free service.

Why do you keep bringing Halo up? Doesn't make sense. The topic  here is " Is it worth to pay for something that you can get for free on any other platform" and you start talking about PS players can't get Halo. Another example how you lack arguments and just throwing random stuff here and there trying to justify this? I would respected you more, but with the Halo posts. No words.

Halo is just one example of what PSN doesn't offer that XBL does. That's the point. If you want to play XBox exclusives online you need XBL Gold and if that means a tiny fee so be it. I've said many times that if XBLG was free I'd be happy about that. Free PSN does not replace the need to play Xbox exclusives. That's the heart of the issue. Sony fanboys act like nobody needs XBL because PSN exists, but you can't play games like Halo on PSN. As good as Killzone is, it is no more a replacement for Halo than Halo is a replacement for Killzone.

I made this topic because I'm tired of the argument. My opinion of PS+ and the words I've used describing it have never been full of the hate that gets spewed at XBL.


So even in light of the PSN getting closer and closer and now being equal in offerings where does the superiority come from? It cant be games. Theres no servers Microsoft pays for, they slip you the bill and the person with the best speed is the master of the server.

I didn't make this thread to justify why MS charges for XBLG, that's not my job. I  made th is thread because people enjoy games like Halo, that PSN doesn't have, and they pay for XBLG to do so. It is the cost of admission. I'm tired of people being treated like idiots for enjoying amazing games like Halo 4 just because PSN is free. If you could play Halo 4 on PSN I'd cancel my XBLA subscription. Like I've said many times, if XBLG was free I'd be happy. I don't even like stuff like Hulu and Netflix being kept behind the Gold wall. What what I don't like even more are the attacks on those of use who enjoy games like Halo 4, Gears, etc.

Im sorry but this makes no sense, and you are just pissing in the wind at this point, this was NOT the point of your thread. You tried to compare it to MMOs and people rightfully so, shot that argument to crap for various reasons. When that didnt work out for you, fell back on old typical arguments about, cross chat and servers, the usually nonsense that gets shot to crap. Finally you brought up Halo, which you should have done from the jump. Just say I love Halo so much that I dont mind paying money to play it, which is perfectly fine, if people think you are foolish for doing so let them, will it kill your fun time with the game? 

I find it funny how you were critizing MMO players but then you turn around and reveal that you pay MS to play Halo online which is not at all that different from what MMO players do.


I'm impressed with your ability to twist my words and assign new intent with so little regard to their original meaning as well as completely missunderstand the point of the original post.

I made this thread because people should be allowed to enjoy games like Halo without getting attacked for paying for XBLG. The POINT of this thread is to show that nobody complains about paying for MMOs but for some reason XBLG an unacceptable evil. Why I made the thread and the point of it are related, but they don't need to be the same thing to be valid.

Right, and just like he said, people think it's a bad comparison. I'm not seeing how you're really responding to him.


thats because he isnt ;)  his original meaning(MMO comparison) was not good so he moved on to a new one (Halo, which aint that great either)
