Does Sony really have an interest in "outcheaping" Microsoft as far as online goes?

I am happy that I am wealthy enough to not care about $60 / year. I am sorry for all you other guys.

Seriously, why do you make such a big deal out of this? It is $5 PER MONTH. I pay 2.8€ (about $3.6) a DAY just for the metro to get to work.

Its true that $5 a month is nothing, but $60 a year is the price of a brand new game. In Economics, the oppotunity cost for paying for Xbox Live is quite high.  

Yeah, and I have like 6-7 games in my collection I have yet to play and consider to buy Tomb Raider and Gears of War: Judgement :D
If $60 is a financial problem for you, you should change your hobby.
