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.

So, what's your age? ;)

Also, as a kid you don't look which saves you the most money, this will be done by your parents obviously. 

And even more true: "As a kid" Grownups who have a job which gives you some money can *easily* afford a gold-membership. The money I'd save when using PS3 instead isn't even worth 3 cheeseburgers.

My age is in my profile.

As I kid I know I had to convince my parents to buy me video games, especially game consoles. Parents aren't stupid, they look for the best deals as well.

Anyway as a grown up, it's even more important to speak with your wallet. It's not about being to afford Gold or not, its the principle of the thing. 


Of course parents aren't stupid but parents are also the ones who buy their kids smartphones nowadays, with internet-flat-contracts, of course. 

It all comes down to 

1. can I afford it?

2. do I want to spend my money on it?

This is not restricted to XBL but to many things in your life, and XBL is one of the cheaper things.
