MS is gettin stupid with these statements. I don't care if they charge for Live, infact power to them...I want them to charge for live.

But these press releases are so dumb.



ECC on 27 October 2009

how can you not care to get charged when you can get the same experience for free!?!

all i know is that as long as they charge for live now psn will be ahead.

That was uncalled for.

Hopefully, I can Netflix my 360 and PS3 at the same time, watching two movies at once!!

It's always fun to hear from so many Sony fans concerned for the wallets of the poor 360 consumer. Free would indeed be better than a paid service if they were the same, but they're not so it isn't.

By the way, my USB wireless keyboard plugged into my 360 makes typing anything easy anyway for the guy so concerned about typing a status update.

Plugging my USB keyboard into my PS3 also allows me the same thing. Moot point sir.

 You cannot divide by zero...unless you're a PS3, cause it only does EVERYTHING.

 

Anyway, back on topic. Anyone that pays for Live feels it is worth it and that's fine. PSN is catching up to Live, this cannot be denied, and a service close to Live which is Free is a much better value than a slightly better service for 50 bucks a year.

They should just say "We had it earlier so you could have been watching Netflix movies for the past year instead of waiting untill now.", it's a more valid arguement.

PSN is catching up with Live but why has it taken over 3 years?  A service thats not equivalent cannot be better value in any way other than subjectively for each individual user, the fact so many people pay $50 a year to experience Gold access suggests your statement is false for a significant number of gamers.  Taking away feature lists and considering the experiences as a whole PSN is still a way off being the fully integrated service Live is and thats where many see the value of the service.  You're welcome to your opinion that PSN is a better value propostition for yourself but owning both consoles myself I still prefer Live and don't mind the fee for the service I receive.
