Or because they saw that XBL is making MS billions a year and they don't want to miss out on that opportunity?

I stopped reading after that.

I'm sure anything that follows is irrelevant to my original point.

Look, a lot of things have changed now. Just let it go.

-It was "You can't play sales", "I guess Justin Bieber is the best singer in the world, huh?". Now, with home consoles breaking records, sales are extremely important.

-Performance wasn't an issue before if the games were virtually identical. Now, if a game is less HD than another, it's crap .

-Mandatory installs and incredibly long updates were tolerable. Now, waiting 10 minutes for a game to install will kill you.

-It didn't matter which controller was best, as long as the controller was good enough for the games YOU wanted to play. Now, if you're playing with anything less than the best controller (as voted by most gaming sites, you're a loser.

-Paying an annual fee for online gaming was damn near criminal. How can any company hold half the game YOU PAID FOR hostage unless you paid an annual fee? Now, it's okay.

-Gay marriage was frowned up. Now, it's legal.

-Digital games "didn't count". Now, they're just as important as retail titles.

I hope you've learned something. These are different times and different rules will apply.


Are you saying since gay marriage was legalized we gotta pay for online gaming now?

I'm saying that paying for online is the reason gay marriage was legalized in the first place.  Every cloud has a silver lining.  Thanks, Xbox Gold!

Which are hilariously terrible.

In November you got A World of Kieflings and Iron Brigade, which are like £7 pieces of ****. In PSN+ November, there was Dragon's Dogma (a game normally priced aroung £40) Resogun, Contrast, and Soul Sacrafice.

MS are ripping you off again.

Ah, now we're comparing free content. And ignoring the people that just want to play games online.

You think the masses that play CoD and BF give a two craps about Dragon's Dogma?

Why do people who ask this question always assume that "everyone" who owns PS+ belongs to the ilk who chastised XBOX Live? I myself have never complained about XBOX Live because I'm not interested in XBOX one way or another but it's pretty easy to see that the value of PS+ outweighs that of XBOX Live.
Also, it's understandable that people chose to go with a console on which they can play online for free because they don't want to play but subsequently are willing to pay when there is really no other viable alternative (Don't even mention WiiU). I'm sure if Sony had chosen to charge this gen abd Microsoft chose to go free that many PS3 users would move to XBOX.

Well we're comparing subscription services. One of the features that comes with those services are free games.

Multiplayer comes with both services. What is your point?

Never said they did, but they might: DD:DA is a popular game. What does that have to do with my post anyway?

You guys just keep piling on about free content, but the masses that will subscribe to PS+ just want access to online games.

People ignore that and keep boasting about value. The masses don't give a crap about value, they just want to play their favorite games online.

I don't care what the "masses" want. And that's probably true: most people will subscribe to PSN+ for the multiplayer, but what does that have to do with my post? Again, both services offer multiplayer. If the "masses" were offered a choice between a service with multiplayer, free games and content, beta access, automatic updates, full game trials, discounts, Cloud storage, against a service that offers you...just multiplayer which one do you think they'll pick?
