Besides the concept is quite stupid, and ps3 fans just wanted cross game chat.


At least they aren't charging you to use their service.

I blame microsoft for this. If you buy their system and games, online should be free. Sony saw that microsoft was making money so they went for the money grab as well. I dont pay for gold and i wont pay for plus.

 

Ps who buys clothes for their avatar?

I've spent like 5 bucks on clothes and my avatar looks pretty bad ass. There are few people on my buddy list that didn't purchase clothes.

Everybody has a avatar, you stare at them every time you turn on the 360, and there are gonna be a lot of games that use them when Kinect comes out. So avatar clothes is an easy sell.

After reading a lot of posts about PS on diffrent forums, I don't quite understand why people are hating on it so much.

It has not broken any promises made (yet) as we have gotten out PSOne games and minis and big games (critter crunch and wipeout HD so far).

In the fine print of PS and WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE FREAKING GAMES you are told that any of the free content is only valid as long as your subscription lasts, so there really isn't any confusion as to how long you get to play those free games.

I will say that the game trial is cool but the games offered for it are pretty old (though I do like seeing full games as being downloadable now). I will also say that the content and discounts offered so far may not be up everyone's alley but so far it has only been a month.

Even without any of the discounts and add-ons, PS users have still gotten Wipeout HD, Critter Crunch and Syphon Filter to use for 3 or 15 months for the cost of their subscription (there are other games too, I'm just listing the more high profile ones).

Assuming the other 14 months go in a similar fashion as this one, PS users will basically have 15 pretty great PSN games, another 15 or so good ones and maybe 10 good PSOne classics. The length of time that people have access to these games will vary from 1 - 15 months, but still, an average of 8 months of unlimited access to 20-30 great games (probably a whole lot more plus all of the discounts) isn't worth $50 to the current PS subscribers?

Obviously if you don't game that much and wouldn't have time or desire to play through the games then it would be a waste of money for you, but PS isn't targeted at those users anyway.

So, where does the PS hate come from only a month in? Sony hasn't gone back on any promises (even with updates every 2 weeks now, you just get more content every 2 weeks) nor have they tricked anyone with the game "rentals."

 

Maybe peeps on the interwebz just like to rage?

If the Playstation camp rages against XBox Live Gold costing what it does, doesn't it make sense they rage against the Sony version of Gold to?

except...XBL Gold just allows you to play online. PS Plus = potentially $1000s of dollars worth of content for "free" (if you want to get technical, I'll say $950s of dollars worth of content for free (with no quotes) lol)...and free online. Not to mention, PS Plus isn't a requirement for things like Netflix and social networking integration, which is a Gold requirement for 360. So no..it doesn't make sense to rage against the Sony version of Gold

Exaclty,  its not a waste of money if thats what I intended to buy and am happy with my choice.   Yeah I have purchased about 5-10 on my avatar, and  dont even get me started on what I spent on my Home Avatar.   But no one can say it was a waste of money except for me.
