No doubt, XBL fees are hard to justify but the overall Xbox experience is worth it in terms of entertainment value otherwise ppl wouldn't use it.

On the whole I like both consoles, there's really no platform that I dislike.

tormentos
People pay because they don't have a choice,i wanted to play Halo Reach online,so i pay for 3 months did i wanted to pay.? No i did not want to but i had to if i wanted to play the game..

Of course they have a choice, don't play the game or buy a Ps3, i don't understand this attitude that people where forced to buy a 360 and then forced to play online, there is always a Choice man, you CHOSE to play Halo reach, obviously you felt you really had to play Halo reach, Fair enough, and i understand that you feel disgruntled that you had to pay for live to play it online, obviously you don't see value in the service and i respect that but you had a choice, you could have just walked away and not played it, i didn't play Reach online, the good thing about 360 Exclusives is that they offer a ton of offline content, theatre mode, Firefight, horde mode, Split screen co-op, thats where i feel Halo 4 messed it up, they got rid of firefight which means it had less offline content, i still have Reach, Halo 4 i traded in after about a week, i was very dissapointed in what they cut in offline play, i could no longer customise my players look within the campaign and No firefight (big mistake on 343's part) it just didn't have as many offline hours as reach, nice shiny graphics but no substance really, a step foreward in Graphics, a step backwards in Content.

So?

I didn't want to pay for WoW subscription, but I felt like playing, so they got my $15 for a month.

Same concept.

Sony doesn't erect a nonsensical barrier for those who would rather avoid a costly subscription fee. Rather than charge extra for features that should be standard, such as online gaming and useful apps, Plus makes the PlayStation 3 and Vita's wide assortment of games more readily accessible.

By gamers for gamers the SONY way.

Thank you Sony.

  1. don't post in a fucking year old thread ~ with 200 post you would think you would know this by now
  2. getting robbed umm by adding more features, updating their system constantly, nice download speeds, quality online

Just a heads up for the future. Leave old topics the way they are. If you feel that you can bring life to one, best thing to do is re make it. :)
