Well, no matter the reasoning, I greatly enjoy the convenience of Live.

For example, here's me on Live waiting for friends to join and have a Horde match of Gears 2:

-...waiting
-*Press Guide button and bring up friends list.
-Invite all who are playing Gears 2.
-Friend joins.
-"Hey man, what's up?" "Not much, u", etc,etc,etc
-"Hey no one else is joining, you got anyone from your list you can invite?"
-"Lemme check... uh... yup! Invited a few guys."
-Someone else joins
-New guy: "Ah, look, this guy's playing Call of Duty--screw that, man, get over here and play Gears XD"

In under a minute, we've got a full party, we're laughing, joking around, and keep in mind that I've never met any of these people in person, and there was no matchmaking involved.

THAT is why Live is awesome.

Just cause a console has some of the highest rated games dosent mean ill like it anymore,its still just an average console.

Thats it!

A gimmick? This coming from the guy with a Mii at the bottom of his posts! Are you kidding me?

And as you stated in another post, if you want a BMW and not a fiat, than get a PS3, I cannot believe you used that analogy to give a positive light to the 360.

Microsofts online service is better, but barely.

I want a web browser, I want HOME, I want Blu-Ray profile 2.0 movies, I even want Life with Playstation. And yes, I too want a BMW and not a FIAT, but especially what I want is for it all to be free!

... and that is why I want a PS3

I don't know who you are representing or how you became so one sided, but I think we can all agree Microsofts service does not offer enough of a difference to cost what it does, (compared to the PSN).

I can tell you Microsofts service is slightly better, but the PS3 has its advantages over it as well.

You must realize the truth, or at least the errors of your ways.

Nice to know you want a computer,But i want a game machine,where i can pop in games and not have to worry about mandatory installs.

A lot of those games are firsts. Games that started on playstation. Several of them which maintained exclusivity and these are just 90+ games. there are 86 above 80. Franchises that have become huge on the PS brand.

The PS1 sold 100million consoles, the first time in history, and had an age range beyond traditional snes + sega demographics.

Need I remind you that a lot of games do very well when they are exclusive. Several developers have stated this. Multiplat is not always the answer. Exclusivity has a lot of perks and being payed money is not one of them. I just don't see where you have the right to say that Sony bought Rockstar Exclusivity.

Exclusivity is often referred to as a partnership. Techs from the platform help the developers in ways that improve the game and show them how to take advantage of the hardware to the fullest extent. The result, a better made game, which improves the company image and exclusive sales which helps the platform image.

Notice how the new exclusive games are developers who are breaking into the gaming world, and the multiplat games are generally from companies that have extensive backgrounds in the VG business.

I know that, and that's why I said there is no point arguing/debating with you. Your opinion is not to like it and no matter how hard I try I cannot change that opinion. In that respect you are the one arguing, and I am the one debating, because I am open to changing but you aren't.

Im glad that alot of good games were made on PS1,but its onyl because Sony didnt have competition,now look at them.

Yeah, the best selling console of all time (wii) and a console with a year lead (360) and yet what are those AAA rankings again?
wii:8
360: 17
ps3: 9
PS3 is sucking!!!!!

I'm just asking you where it says sony paid rockstar billions of dollars to get gta exclusive?

I made my point that new devs usually go exclusive and then become multiplat as time goes on. So show me this exclusivity payment.

I never said this gen you silly duck, i mean last gen PS2 and Xbox :p

PS3 is not sucking.

what? you said they didn't have competition during ps1 era and now they do, how are you talking about ps2........wait a minute are you fucking with me!?!?!?!
