  Merry Christmas My fellow gamespot buddies

  No more college for a while, no work for the time being, just a nice family dinner, my little cousins running around and laughing out loud with smiles on their faces, I hope you guys enjoy the holidays, I'd love to be able to name all of the guys I consider worthy to talk to and keep me coming back to this site, some of them are not even tracking me . To all of you merry christmas and happy new year in case I dont stop by.

  

  The picture is appropiate because there is no such thing as snow where I live.

  Why People want Sony to Charge for PSN

  You dont have to be a vet systemwarrior to realize that the free online multiplayer PSN offers has always been one of the biggest selling points of the Ps3 ever since the console launched, that feature has been used to justify the launch price, justify particular purchases and thrown in as an advantage the Ps3 has over the 360 along with the argument that despite the extra features Xbox live isn't worth it because it those are being forced upon users since the access to the online multiplayer (the main point of a service of that nature anyway) is also a premium feature available only for subscribers of the full package (Gold XBL accounts).

  If Sony began to charge for online multiplayer as a premium PSN feature the same way Microsoft does with Xbox Live, not only those who supported the Ps3 with the argument would be owned but also those who have been paying for xbox live yearly fees and were not secure about their investment would gain the security that they're not being the only ones "ripped off" to put it in harsh terms because with both the Ps3 and Xbox360 having fees for access to online multiplayer it would be progressively considered as a premium feature and no longer a nickel and dime as it was 4 years ago. ¿two in distress makes sorrow less they say?

  And of course, we can't set aside the "Hahahaha Now Ps3 fanboys are also paying for online the 360 is by far the best value, Sony had to make money somehow, PSN is still garbage and people now pay for it, Xbox live is superior" Factor, we are in system wars and everything that can be considered negative in the slightest is used for ownage.

  Lets make it clear, Party chat, cross game chat and user interface is awesome with Xbox Live of course it is, but Only one Out of the four main gaming platforms we have in the market now charges their users to play their games online and that would be the 360, insecurity is bound to be off the charts and now that Sony seems to be preparing to launch a premium service with a hefty fee and yet still offer the basic feature ( Online MP) for all users, payed subscribers or not, what do we get. Mixed reactions thats what we get, If I bought a 360 at launch for Xbox Live and I've been paying for it ever since how much did it cost me to take full advantage of the capabilities of my console? More than 599.99$, believe or not and we were all taught at system wars school that no console should cost that much...right...? Oh but thats crazy, Microsoft doesn't force their users to pay for gold at gun point, its not a valid point so scratch that.

  We're all consumers first and then gamers, we speak with our wallets and every Penny we shell out has to be justified, Gaming is not a cheap hobby. ¿Isn't that all SW is about after all?

  *Disclaimer*

  Im not saying Xbox Live Gold users are being ripped off, Some do feel that way others think its completely justified. Just to be clear.

  My plans for the rest of the year

  Im not going to be posting as often as I had before but I'll still drop by every now and then, my gaming plans for the rest of the year are the following, Im buying My games from the U.S, so I'll be getting most of them, no... all the games Im interested in for the rest of the year this month, Uncharted 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Ninja Gaiden Sigma II, Demon's souls and a boy and His Blob. Thats all I can afford for the rest uf 2009, it really hurts my wallet to buy all this games but it doesn't end there, I made a pact with a friend, he is going to buy two of his favorites, Assassins Creed 2 and Call Of Duty Modern Flopware 2 so we can borrow each other's games once we've finished our own and game on! hey that rhymes!

  The most interesting part about my gaming schedule for this last two months of the year is related to my own patience and Uncharted 2, I'll save Uncharted 2 for Christmas, thats right, I wont even Remove the plastic cover from Uncharted 2 until the end of the Year I know I'll enjoy my Christmas the most if I have a really great game to beat and what other 2009 game is on par with that one? None I can think of, I know that no other game is capable of delivering the enjoyment Uncharted 2 will and thus I wont even touch my copy until its my favorite season. Boy im gonna be enjoying myself a freaking lot, most people wont have anything interesting left to play during Christmas's vacations except me mwhahaha.

  On a side note, im beginning to feel the pressure from all my college subjects, specially contracts, man that one is hard I cant find the court decisions I need for my final research on Contractual Nullity and I know very little on the subject, doesn't bother me though, Im still learning the basic principles and regulations, I have a long way to go before I can become an avid legal advise on this subject, playing video games isnt all that important, with all the good releases I wish I could dedicate more time to gaming but for a month or so I wont be able to.

  I have a hedgehog By the Way. Here is a picture of Him.

  

  He is my pet, I usually put him on the floor and just let him walk around my house randomly, his behavior is funny, always looking for something around the house, what could it be is beyond me, he wont tell.
