Maybe if Sony paid, they'd have the amount of content the X360 has...

I'd rather pay $5 for online, and get 5x or more content.

Oh, about the Warhawk and SOCOM comparison: we do have XBO's 'ya know. Last I checked, Sony had 0 PS2 games available.

And lets not mention the fact that XBLA has about 100 more games than PSN Games.

 

100 more games that I dont care about you see. Games I've already played, and shouldn't need $50 a year to HAVE THE OPTION of buying those games again. Its not like you pay $50 and get to play all those games.

and XBO? What...is your point exactly? Still, old games which most people have already played. You still haven't shown why $50 a year is getting an option to pay for other games or getting demos of games you will eventually pay for later on.

XBL free>PSN free. But XBL @$50 vs a free PSN? I dont really think $50 is well spent on anything. I am not going to go and list all the new games the PSN has that XBL will never have because its not even worth arguing about titles.

 

IS GETTING DEMOS AND PLAYING CLASSICS YOU CAN BUY AT THE STORE ANYWAYS WORTH $50?

It seems thats what you're trying to say, and I can't see how anyone can belive that. If it were a one time fee and unlimited downloads that would be different. That is, of course, not the case.

Jandre... YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR BASIC ONLINE SERVICE.  That includes browsing the XBLA.  You do have to wait a week after gold subscribers, however.  Although, being a PS3 user, waiting shouldn't be a negative.  So let me answer the bolded statement, you don't have to pay monthly for those features.

Edit:  Just to clarify, you have to wait a week to download demos after their initial launch.  Also, I agree that it would be more attractive if it were free.  However, I don't mind paying extra for it.  I'm not right now, because I do not play on line much, but I'll probably be renewing again soon.  However, while I wasn't paying, let me reiterate that I was increasing my gamerscore, messaging friends, listening to custom soundtracks, and downloading demos and purchasing XBLA games.
