DOH dont mind this post soz

Too late. I am minding it.

Personally I think you're asking this question in the wrong place. There are casuals that are complaining about it. Just not the Hardcore PS fans because they've already been paying for PS+. I have no problem with Xbox Live because I refuse to pay $60 for it, I've only bought it for $35 whenever ebay has that deal. Which is like 5 times a year. If you're a kid who can't afford PS+ or Xbox Live it then ask for it during X-mas time or your B-day, It's no trouble at all for an adult.

Okay? So keeping more for less. Of course, like you say, publishers only want to give recent games to PSN+ and not XBLive.

I could care less. 

Valid point. I said I wouldn't get Xbox live and I was not a customer. I would add that Sony gave me an option to play online for free or upgrade to their rental service later, while Microsoft wanted to charge me for the online experience first and see if I saw value in it later. Not something I was willing to do at the time. I still don't understand why internet applications are behind a paywall.

I also mention shooters because that's the impression that I got from it. It may be wrong, but its JRPG collection was lacking compared to the competition. so I chose Sony, though I could have gone Wii, but SDTV made me rethink it because I game on my computer monitor.

I don't consider myself a Sony Fanboy, and truely wish success for the WIIU & the Xbox One because competition really benefits the consumer. If Sony can no longer provide what I'm looking for, I would like to think I move to a competitor that does.

I watch entire season of European soccer leagues on ESPN app. Saves me alot on cable subs.

Plus watch and  catch up on some Anime.

lol a little hostility in those words. 

Well, back in the day a lot on here said they would never pay for online.

But credit where credits due, PSN has improved over the years.

3 or 4 years ago it wasn't worth paying for (and to be honest, if i want a game, i buy it day one or not long after release, so ps+'s free "we'll decide when you play this game or not" games don't man squat to me)

Now a day's take away the "free rented games" that i don't care about, and as a service, i still think Live is top dog, but the justification to pay for PSN is now just about valid.

If you find value then that is great. Doesn't make any of this a double standard though since it is an entirely different landscape than it was back in 2006-2012.
