It seems like everyone is ignoring a part of an Xbox Live Gold sub that Sony does not offer, cross game voice chat. Only Xbox offers this service.

The closest comparision I can think of is a Ventrilo server. A 10 slot server goes for about $2 to $3 per month. An Xbox live party can hold 8 players and, as someone pointed out earlier in this thread, you can get your Xbox live Gold sub for as low as $2 a month.

Whether or not you agree that $2 a month for cross game chat is worth it is irrelevant. I believe it is, and that is why I pay to keep it. Sony doesn't offer it, and neither does Nintendo.

As soon as a different company offers the same service for less we can talk.

It's about the principle really not the price. The competition does it for free. Back in the beginning of the gen I never complained about the online fee, it was a brilliant service and no one had anything like it, but now that the PSN is almost just as good it becomes annoying.


Books are free at the library, but people still buy them. TV is "free" over air, but people pay for cable.

Uhm, you think its free to broadcast TV signals and produce TV programs? I hope you're kidding now.

But does it have Halo games?

Because I'm pretty sure the only way to play Halo 4 online is with XBL Gold. That's the price of admission. I wish it was free, but it's not and it costs less a month than a burger so I don't even notice it when I balance my check book.

IDK why some people whine about it. At $60 a year that adds up to $5 a month. Thats peanuts. And if sony charged for online gaming, I'd pay. No whining or outrage.

I didn't say that. Read it again.
