If at least I didn't have to pay for;2 Xbox360,3 gold subscriptions, games (halo, gears of war) a cable for recharging controllers (that stopped working after 2 months), a god damn lot of batteries, new controllers and plus a microphone because you can't hear shit with the original. All this last me about 2 years since I decided to buy a 1 PS3 and many good games and this last me for 4 years.Never had to buy anything but games and enjoy them, plus I have a blu ray and if I want to pay for subscription I have discount, betas, free games to play on PS3 and Vita. With xbox I got youtube and annoying screaming kids.I played a lot on Xbox Live and PSN to say that there is almost no difference with the quality service (people who says that the online on PS3 sucks and is laggy probably try to find a reason to justify their Gold subscription) except that with Xbox Live you always have to mute the other players because they are kids. For online gaming with friends I use skype, it works like a charm and my friends' friends don't annoy us right in a middle of a game.
