To pay for a year of online activity?

I mean What would you get for 60 Euro on a night out.?

Anyway your thoughts please. 

In Romania I think it prolly is pretty big amount...but other countries that use the Euro should be fine. :P

In Amstersdam 60 euros could get you a "Suck and a fuck" as the nice lady told me

No, it is not that much money for a year.

can you give a good reason why people should pay for online gameplay?

12 Euro isn't that much right? Mind sending me one euro each month?

Don't get me wrong. I think XBL is much better than PSN (and people who say otherwise have never used XBL or are delusional). But in the end, I'm paying Microsoft to allow me to host games on my own connection. And that rubs me the wrong way.

Yes Leo its called Xbox live.

Actually its up to the developer to decide wether to use servers or p2p.  So there's a mix between them depending on what game your playing online.

Not really... still doesn't mean I'm getting it.

My PC and PS3 provides the same service for free, sure Live is better, but its simply not worth it for someone who only plays online sparodically (ie once a week top).

I rather pay 60 euro for online play.
