OP isn't funny.

I wouldn't even compare that at all. If the 360 has exclusive content you really enjoy, it makes sense to pay for Live.

I mean c'mon people, you're complaining about something that doesn't even cost 20 cents a day.

Which is $60 a year, or $480 for 8 years (roughly the length of this console generation).

Turkish, I just do not understand why you are arguing so much and trying to "convince" other people that do not think like you about PSN/Xbox Live.
You are at the edge of insulting people who pay for Xbox Live. I do prefer Xbox Live and I'm not going to argue with you about his advantages (my personal opinion) because this thread would take forever (as it does with DirtyP2002). 

I do respect the fact that you do not want to pay for something or the fact that you prefer Sony over Microsoft, or PSN over Xbox Live for your own reasons.

But please, for god sake, stop insulting people with comment like that:

“You have to pay for those apps, they're supposed to be free. If you think you get a special service paying for youtube and that it is somewhat better than on other platforms, then more power to you.

I guess you need something to justify paying for the service.”

He does need to justify anything; he is just trying to explain you why “he” prefers Xbox Live and why “he” is okay to pay for it; like many other people. Also nobody said that the Youtube app is superior because we are paying for Xbox Live; you are saying that.

Everyone can list the reasons why they prefer Xbox Live or PSN. And you know what; it is not because you are not agreeing or because you do not care about the reasons people are paying for Xbox Live that they are not valid reasons.

 


I think you missed where that one guy started all of this by presenting "XBLA > every online-game-service on the market" as a fact, despite being told many times that "best" is a relative thing.

For example, when he asserted that LIVE having "more and better apps" was one of the reasons why it's worth the cost.  My desktop computer is ten steps away from my bed and my laptop is always hooked up to my television.  A gaming console having apps is one of the most meaningless things in the world to me.  That guy is never going to get that value is a relative thing.  If you're going to call out anyone for preaching that one service is absolutely superior, shouldn't he be one of your primary targets?

Yes, tell that to netflix that rocks about 2 kajillion xbox owners on any tv in their house.  Didn't computer purist thinking go out with y2k?

I literally have no idea what you're talking about and you seem to have no idea what I'm talking about.  Computer purist?  Wha ..?  Seriously, what are you talking about?

$480 doesn't seem bad considering we're talking about almost a decade of entertainment.

I'm not a rich man, but I can easily afford the $60 A YEAR to play games I prefer online. Although, I never actually have paid $60 thanks to eBay and Amazon.

As long as the 360 has content not found on PS3, you can't say their services are the same.

although i do enjoy xbox live, and i do think its every bit as good as psn, i still think it should be free. but i pay the fee because i pretty much have to in order to play the games i already bought. its a great service, but it should be free,

i digress, if we go by that logic (the bolded) then cars a really cheap too, i mean they cost less than a dollar a day!! and houses cost less than a netlix subscribtion!!!

With those 480 dolars i will buy a wiiU or a ps4

You sure that'll be enough for a PS4? Lets hope.

Anyhow... I don't need those platforms. They don't have Halo.

I would like it to be free, but I don't think it SHOULD be free. Instead, MS should do what they want. People who have a problem with paying for online services on a console should get a competitors hardware and stop complaining. Nobody forces you to pay their fees or buy games or even buy the hardware. You are a consumer with options and apparently chose Xbox.

I don't understand your second paragraph. Cost of cars and houses can vary. They can also very expensive maintenance fees. Perhaps you should elaborate.

If you like Scifi stuff, I'd start looking into Firefall and get a PC or something, it's not linear since it's more MMOish but, I find the story much more interesting than a big ass ring and crazy Cortana in the new one.

Since I do pay for xboxGold and I don't pay for psnFree. And as a user of the two services since they began, the only discernible difference I have ever come to is one is free and one is not.

But I only use my consoles to play games. Not really interested in them doing anything else.
