$10 apiece. If Sony and Microsoft lets you game online for free and then charge $20 a year for a Cross Game Chat & Party System package, I think that would be fine. Facebook, Netflix, Twitter and all that other garbage is of no use to me as a gamer.

Free. If I can talk to someone on freakin' MSN and play a game at the same time then I would expect it to be free.

But if it MUST be charged like a phone serivce then $2.50.

1. The OP was specifically talking about consoles. I didn't make the thread. Go read it.

2. Microsoft already has the features in XBL Gold which is Pay Only and Sony has stated that Cross Game Chat will be for PSN Plus which is also Pay only. Nintendo's onlineisn't even worth mentioning and if they get it together I expect the same thing unless they don't like money.

3. Nah, bringing a platform that's not involved into a discussion means I didn't in my opinion.

I would pay nothing for those features. Besides, you could just use them through your PC anyways.

These features are worth nothing and should be free. Lets be honest here though, nobody pays for xbox live for these features. They pay so they can get access to a 1/3 of their games. 50% in some cases. In other words Microsoft cleverly has their userbase on a tight leash. Ofcourse they only got an raise the price of xbox live because they can.

To me, less than zero. I wouldn't even talk to my brother playing Gears Of War whilst I play Bioshock, its just dumb. If we were playing the same game then its different. If I want to talk properly to him I'll do it out of the game.

this is me checking in with the avgns to see exactly what it is ok for me to spend my money on.

i need a tank of gas is that ok?

i'm hitting up the fuji steakhouse for sushi tonight is that ok with you?

i'm thinking about trying out gamefly may i spend my money on that?

there is a backpack that i have been looking at lately do i need to run that by you?

look guys, when you are giving me money to buy things then you can have a say in where it goes until then you can worry about your own wallet and stay out of mine.

if something is not worth money to you don't buy it, all this :cry: ing is pretty much wasted. anyone dead set against xbl is not going to get it and anyone on the fence is smart enough t make their own decisions.

This thread is about console did you read the OP?

"TOO YOU"

Did you read the OP? He was giving his opinion you had no right to interject what YOU feel about how he thinks. If you want to keep going on about "reading the OP" then atleast follow those rules....but you didn't so you can't even complain.

BTW:

Cross game chat isn't worth anything. It has absoultly nothing to do with the game I'm playing. It's the same as asking how much PS Home is worth. regardless of how much I think it's worth it dosen't really have anything to do with when I'm actually playing games online. it's just a social feature just like cross game chat.

This is simply someone speaking from a 360 stand point who never played PS. I have experience with both and I can tell you right now there is no less/more lag with PSN then the XBL. Get out of your fantasy world and realize M$ is raping you for your money. Mommy and Daddy probably pay so you won't see the big picture until you grow up

XBL offers much more then just that over the PS3.. The mere fact that a Xbox360 ships with a headset.. And/or the headset is easy and cheap pretty much garentees the majority of ht ebase iwll have one.. While my experience in games liek Borderlands on the PS3.. I am lucky to find 1 in 8 people with a headset what so ever.

Poor unfortunate soul you are..Sorry to hear that. It's a shame PSN is free right, paying is optional. 360 has that right? Oh wait no they don't.......your a fool

Coming from a PS3 owner I would most definitely love to have a service come close to XBL and its arcade..

Not worth $60; that's for damn sure.

Someone said $20, that sounds very reasonable. :)

Dude that "excuse" went out the window over a year ago, 80 percent of the PSN based people have mic's now. You can get a blu tooth headset for 15, it's still 45 dollars cheaper then Live. You just got burnt

I don't think either are worth paying for annually. Still, that's just me. I can understand how some would feel different. That's why I think both companies should offer more options to their consumers when it comes to online accounts.

The mere fact teh system shipped with a cheap mic and its simple plug in.. Automatically made it from what I have seen that the majority of people use them.. While when it comes to borderlands.. I am lucky to find a personw ith a mic once in blue moon.. Furthermore You do not want to get a cheap ass blutooth headset at $15.. They are bad, poor reception and what not..

He's right though. My bro thought he was fine with a cheap mic but the battery life sucked and it was just bad overall. He ended up buying the mic that came with Socom (see what I did there).

1. The OP was specifically talking about consoles. I didn't make the thread. Go read it.

2. Microsoft already has the features in XBL Gold which is Pay Only and Sony has stated that Cross Game Chat will be for PSN Plus which is also Pay only. Nintendo's onlineisn't even worth mentioning and if they get it together I expect the same thing unless they don't like money.

3. Nah, bringing a platform that's not involved into a discussion means I didn't in my opinion.

It doesn't matter what the OP said or not.

"2. This is system wars...not console wars. The pc counts as much here as any other system.

"this has caused many lengthy arguments over the past several months and there's really been no reason for it. this is a video game website. it covers console games and pc games. the title of the forum is system wars...not console wars. the pc has just as much right to be included as any console. because this forum was designed with the intention of including the pc, saying otherwise could count as trolling or even off topic posting and you can be moderated for such. it's no different than going to one of the system specific forums and saying that that particular system shouldn't count."
