i only have a 360 with the gold membership and this is why i don't mind paying.
1) it's cheap
2) it's easy to invite friends to play and chat with people who are playing different games.
3)easy to use friends list
Everything is just easy.
But i think the real difference between xbl and psn is the general framework. Game developers and publishers like to make games on Xbox Live because Microsoft pays for the servers or something.
On PSN the publishers have to pay for there own servers, which is why Metal Gear Online is a bit confusing for people to login to and play.
I might be wrong on some bits there so can someone please confirm this.
