And I find your views about Xbox Live good too. If people don't like a service, no one should force them to pay it to try it (though they used to give those 48-hours trial, not anymore). However, I was just pointing out that misconception about the "shooterbox". Sure, throughout the years Ps3 managed to have a more solid - in quantity - library of JRPGs, but 360 had some of those too. It has racing games. WRPGs. Adventure games. What I'm trying to say is that the 360 is not a shooter-only console. In fact, I'd say there are more shooter franchises on ps3 than on 360.

Your choice of buying a Ps3, that I respect :)

So there's no reason for you to bitch about Live when you don't know much about it.

What hostility? I was mearly pointing out that his point made little sense.

MS could clearly have added more content if they wished. They only felt it wasn't worth the added cost to them and I believe if people complained more that MS would feel the need to add that extra value.

You also caught me before my edit. I removed it to avoid posts like yours since I knew it would be misunderstood.

Where am I bitching about Live? 

I am speaking of the differences between the services and the differences between people bitching back then and how people are reacting now.

My experience of LIVE only comes from between Feb. 2008 and sometime in 2010 before I sold my 360 to a co-worker.

Edit - Also, you say " when you don't know much about it". What did I say in this thread that is untrue?

How about paying what you want to pay for whether it be XBL or PSN and shutup about which one is better or why one company is right and the other is wrong etc

Really who cares. More console wars stuff that eats at this site every day. You guys need to just enjoy stuff rather than fighting about stuff all the time.

I bought both subscriptions at $50 dollars, and even though I know I'm paying extra to play online; it feels more like a online rental service much like Netflix, but with a very limited choice that changes every 1 or 2 months, and the choices you download you get to keep for the remainder of the time you have the service.

$30 dollars a better deal, I just hope the choices don't suffer if Sony decides to pay more for servers than game licenses.

If the service they currently provides ever reduces, it is a simple response.

I cancel.

I don't consider myself a Sony fan but I've spoken against paying for online play and I've only owned Sony consoles. I didn't like XBL costing money, and I don't like PSN costing money either. Partly because of that, I'm probably not buying a PS4 unless it become really cheap some day and has some great exclusives I can't get on PC.

It's because it was inevitable, everyone knew it was coming. Sony doesn't have the resources Microsoft has, and a lot of MS's profit came from Live. If you want to blame anyone, blame the people who have no problem paying for online multiplayer. They've made it the norm.

Which reminds me, I need to keep playing War in the North on Steam.

Not a great game, yes I know, but it is a lot of fun online with my friends.

Take care everyone.
