@ godbless: That's not the point. The point is that this article talks about a list of games and a costume and that this post is as if sony wants you to spend your entire 50 dollars on clothes for home.

In the list are a number of games, which would be a better way to spend 50 dollars, instead of just being able to have Live.

And if there were an article out there, stating something about Live, and the thread maker decided to pinpoint a specific section and then use it to bash MS, then I would react too, as I have done previously.

This article is a cherrypick, simple as that.

not only by the OP but also sony

b/c to be able to spend that fifty you have to have abigger base investment

it the same thing that came up last time they tried to say you spend more on xbox-----sure you pay fifty a month for live but in teh end you still end up (on average) paying more for the ps3 and things liek this are just trying to mislead weaker minded consumers

please do explain.... as far as i can figgure.... if i lets say wanted to get Megaman 9 on PSN and on Live i would spend $9.99 on PSN and $19.98 on Live... so lets say you payed $400 for the PS and $250 for the 360... and lets say the current gen lasts for 6 years.. $400 - PS3 vs $250 + (6x$50=$300) = $550 - 360.... or am i wrong? PLUS whatever you deside to buy... lets just say $50 for the entire gereration... so $450 vs $600.... plz tell me if im wrong...

How is Megaman 9 on Live $19.98? It's the same price as PSN, $9.99.

it really all boils down to this, what do you want for your $50 a year.

the 360 gets,
more advanced online play (i.e. features like being able to talk to your friends regardless of what game they are playing), netfix if applicable, 1-week time exclusivity of the RE5 demo.

the ps3 gets,
$50 in the pocket to buy more games which is like 3-6 downloadable games a year or basically one full retail game a year.

Distorted title...

They list a list of games (obvious) but noo, let's not focus on that.

Let's focus on the fact that they try to get people into home too. Yeah, how dare they.

This is just bashing for the sake of bashing.

Even if you take out the home-attributes, both lists give you some 40 dollars' worth of gaming attributes or just plain games.

BS article and complete cherrypick.

Agreed

theyve got a point. still, it wont do much. i dont like when they try to say "we're better than ____ because"

I'd prefer if they came out and said it like that, actually. To say "U CAN BUY A CHARE FOR UR HOME!" just sounds lame. "$50/year for online? LOL" would make a better marketing pitch.

I wish more companies would be as awesomely blunt as Sega was.
