PSN is a bare bones service. Only reason why they don't charge for online play is because when PS3 launched at $600 Sony knew that no one would pay an additional fee just to play Resistance Fall of Man online, which was the only online game worth playing on PSN for one and a half years until MGS4 came out. PS4 will have online play that you have to pay for.

How's he right/wrong?

You have some insider info you want to share with the rest of the class?

- Faster downloads

- Faster patches/updates

- No forced install

- Play your own music in games

- More advanced chat functions

- Better matchmaking

- Quicker/better connections

- More secure

- Better uptime

- Marketplace beats the stuffing out of PS Store in terms of content

Need any other reasons?

Yeah you pay $50-$60 a year, but by my estimation most Xbox360 games are cheaper.

Also 360 uses slightly less electricity, averages out to $5-$10 every year.

It comes out to be about same cost when you price everything out.

Same cost + better results = XBL wins

Same tired points from both sides in the same tired argument.

I don't mind paying for Live, it's one of the many small expenses in life. For me it's worth it.

If it's not worth it for you, don't get it, stick with PSN, I don't care.

[QUOTE="wawasjohn"]still doesnt make sense y people go over the top about live. btw psn has web browser does live?razgriz_101

that isnt a PSN feature as you are not required to log into the PSn network to actuallly use it but nice try using that hobbled mess as a point.

Xbox Live arcade has better titles and that's kind of it in my opinion...

its not, both have the same functionality, but live has more bells and whistles. Kinda the same reason people buy iphones instead of android phones.Goolsbee
