To the OP. Paying for Gold is like when people pay for World of Warcraft. WOW is better than say Gulid Wars which is free per month but ou have to pay to own the game. WOW runs smoother has more features and better updates. That is because some of the monthly fee money goes back into making the game better. Same with Live. If you look at how many films, Tv shows and features with chatting to your friends are available not to mention on Live you dont get kicked out half as much as PSN, it's no surprise. The monthly pay helps a smoother operation. Have you seen the new supposed upgrades for Dashboard and Live, I mean just when Sony thought they were getting close, M$ throw themselves way back in front again. Thats what money does, way more investment into Live.
