O.K. Nem, since you don't want to reply (which was the right choice) I'll just use the contradiction in your last post to end this.
Nem said, ".....You say they are different and cant be compared..."
Nem first stated, "....What you are saying OP, is not correct. Why? Because you are comparing the wrong things."

Now if by your own admission, and eventual understanding, I'm saying that they're different and can't be compared.. then I'm obviously not comparing them, like you first said, but rather stating the reasons a comparison between the two is flawed; which consequently leaves the opening in your first reply to me the prime example of the reading comprehension issue you have.. and further validates my contention that you didn't actually understand what I was saying to begin with but still chose to argue.. which is always a loss my man.

Thanks for playing, enjoy the rest of your day here at Sevengen's post, the exits are easily accessible, don't forget to tip the maître d’, come back anytime we love serving you, and/or watching you get served.

Although there does seem to be some miscommunication here, The point that Nem is trying to make is valid. 

He is agreeing with you that it doesn't make sense to compare PS+ by itself because PS+ is an add on or accessory to Sonys online service where as Live IS Microsofts online service. But, he is saying that it makes sense to compare all of Sonys online service (PSN/PS+) to Xbox Live because they are both their respective companies entire online service (pertaining to game consoles). He is right in his assesment by the way and I'll be more than happy to debate that belief with you in my other posts (which despite having ample time to muster up a rebuttal you haven't managed to respond to yet).

Normando, maybe I haven't responded to you because whatever your replies were, they either didn't attack me with blind confusion, as Nem's did... or stated a counter argument I found to be credible. (I'll have to go back and re-read what you put)
Someone stated that Xbox Live gold could be considered a rental service as your renting the ability to play games online. I was cool with that... decent point. I'm not going to debate someone that comes back with a thought-provoking reply. 


As far Nem's goes, dude flat out misunderstood the OP.. and then wanted to argue about it. there's no miscommunication there. For miscommunication to actually take place, both parties have to share some culpability in the breakdown. If I'm the one who opens the thread, stating my own opinion, the ONLY way for things to be misunderstood would be if the readers don't grasp what I'm saying. That's on them, it's not like I was talking Latin. 

and as I'm looking back over your post above, I'm starting to question your ability to figure some stuff out as well. I don't really care if Nem's saying that PS+ and PSN together as one, unified online service is comparable to Xbox Live Gold.. and neither should you. 
That's not what my original post is even talking about. Nowhere in the opening thread do I mention PSN. Nowhere. I'm specifically speaking about PS+ and how people mistakenly want to compare it to xbox live gold. 

see, that's the problem with fanboys, on either side, they take your argument... add to it, try and change it... and then use that as their rebuttal. lame. 
you wanna argue, stick with what the opening discussion/argument is.
