The one thing I wonder is the argument that the free games that come with XBL and PSN+ make the subscription fee worth it. Am I the only one that just wants to go out, buy a game (physically or digitally), own the game, and not have to bother with paying for the online service? Is the 'plug and play' method outdated? I just don't want to pay for a service that not always delivers (XBL and PSN+ can falter, as does Nintendo's Wifi connection) and offers me a bunch of games, most of which I'll never play, and which the service will lock away from me the moment I stop paying for the service.

What are your thoughts?

I find talk like that flat out strange. I don't condone having to pay to play games online, but thats what it is and i can't do anything about that now... except of course i just stop playing online.

But if paying $50 to play online means I have access to a total of 24 games  each year that i do not have to buy? I don't see why that is a bad thing. Cause you know, I could still just go out and buy a game (physically or digitally) that i care enough about to want to actally own it and not have it tied to a service. I will never understand how anyone can make having more options seem like a bad thing.

Or play on systems that don't charge for online.
