so, what i want to know is how can microsoft still charge for this?

PSN now has every feature accept cross game chat (apperently its coming)

Chat rooms

Video store (download movies)

NetFlix (Stream Movies)

More people using PSN then Live

web browser 

Plus things that microsoft can even match like:  (region)

Vidzone (thousends off free music videos) coming to USA soon (sony said they are working on it)

BBC iplayer and other TV services across Europe -    To fight this microsoft are trying to play catch up to PSN and get Sky but they forget that sony are giving all this free accept Netflix, while microsoft want u to pay for Live & Sky & Netflix 

Should Live be free by now? 

anyway this thread isnt ment to start a fanboy war,

PSN owners are you happy to be getting Netflex? 

Live members do u think your service should be free by now? 

PLEASE DONT USE THIS THREAD TO SAY LIVE IS BETTER OR PSN IS BETTER

shouldn't this be in the gaming section as it concerns both MS and PSN? So XBL folks will be more equipped to answer this question.

"how can microsoft still charge for this?"

Why give something free while people are willing to pay for it... it's business not charity..

I can't see how they justify it, but the thing is people continue to pay so they will carry on as long as they have custom.

well its netflix for a start, and ive never heard of vidzone going to usa

yeh i put it in the wrong section opps lol so used to clicking sony section

im sure they will see Xbox Live in the tittle and jump on it lol
