LOL. As if 10-year olds even have the money to buy map packs.

It does have a point though and timed-exclusive DLC can make all the difference.

Playing Call of Duty on Xbox Live = $180 including all the DLC.

Playing Call of Duty on PSN = $120 including all the DLC.

If kids going to school can do simple math then maybe more people would play on PSN.

Are you talking about PSN+ discounts? Which COD are you talking about?

The season pass for COD BLOPS 2 is $50 on XBL and PSN.

What I'm talking about is free PSN and the pay wall behind online multiplayer on XBL. As a kid, I know I would look at for the console which saves me the most money. But I guess a few years ago that ended up being the Xbox 360.

Ok, I got yeah. But it's not like Playing COD costs you XBL Gold. Paying the free for XBL Gold gives access to everything. But I guess if all you want to play is COD than you could look at it like that. I'm going to play Halo no matter what COD is gravy.

COD is only popular because of multiplayer and XBL Gold is required for that on top of the money you need to spend to get that DLC. Now, I'm no hater of subscription fees as long as they actually offer value like Playstation Plus or give you unlimited movie streaming like Netflix. What does your Gold sub provide you? Timed-exclusive DLC to games you might never even play and access to apps that are free on any other device.
