£35 a year (in the UK at least) for online is frankly very little. I have no issues paying for it and it certainly isnt / hasnt been a deciding purchasing factor for any of my friends either.
It would be nice if Ms give a few more rewards for Gold subscribers but not a necessity.
Sony seem all hype with their services, their new update should get their service up to near enough the standard that xbl has been for over 2 years. Sony must have invested heavily in PSN and espeicially Home. I wonder how their share holders feel about the amount of money the PS3 is losing right now.
