Fair enough, but even if you work at Mcdonalds... $50 a year is really not that much.

That's less than one 5 hour shift for me. It's a rip off(should be free) but I'd still pay for it. I wouldn't refuse to get it over $50. :?

I would never get 360. I love halo 3, would enjoy mass effect, and most of my friends own 360. But i rather stick with ps3 for the games i have now and games that are comming out. Plus i dont enjoy the fact that 3 of my friends already had their 360 break.

Im just being straightforward. no need to argue or anything. I know microsoft doesn't care about my opinion but for every single person who thinks like me. that would be a lot more 360 sales.

$50 a yearcan be spent on something that isn't a rip-off (or a waste of time/bandwith)... like food fora starvingchild inTunsinia, or your cell phone bill, or new pants!

I agree with this TC... andgetting to play halo 3 onlineis noreason to spend500 dollars on a console and it's "superior online service". ROFL... yeah P2P is much better than dedicated servers. Oh yeah i forgot... it's50 dollars a year to see PM's while im in game!Definitely worth it...anddefinitely "not that much" even if you work at McDonalds.

Youlemmingsare all mixed up... half the time i hear you say live is a joke and shouldn't be more than 5 dollars a year.

I would buy an Xbox 360 if MGS4 was a 360 exclusive. I love many of the other games on the PS3, but I HAVE to play MGS4.

So don't. Just have somebody get you a 1 year Xbox Live Gold card for your birthday or Christmas every year. Then you won't have to pay for anything.

Is 50 too much? No. But is the 50 justifiable for what you're getting in return? HELL NO

It doesn't cost much and is worth getting, but it's still a rip off because it's free everywhere else.

But seriously XBL costs alone make PS3 is a way better value as a console. $350+$50 XBL = $400. Same price from the beginning, but PS3 comes with Blu-ray and Wifi. And then there's more XBL fees over time...

"Value" is all relative. It really depends on what games the consumer desires. I think the Xbox 360, for my own personal needs, is a much better value than the PS3 because it has games on it that I really want to play. If I had a PS3 right now I would be pretty bored with its software library at the moment.

Yeah, because people don't give it away for free.

FTW. I've played the XBL trials and it's a total pain to find a good game with good players that you can stay connected to. Definitely not worth $50. I'll stick to playing with real people (that I can punch:)) on split screen.

You take the bad with the good I guess! The Playstation 3 doesn't offer the same games as the Xbox 360 does, unfortunately.

50 bucks is nothing to me, however, its also a cost for a service that should be free. for chrissakes we are paying 60 dollars a game. that adds up with this holiday season.

I would buy a PS3 if it had an online that worked. I don't want a game that runs half the frame rates as the 360 counterpart that doesn't have online included like the 360 does. How many titles already out there had online for the 360 version, but not the PS3 version. That alone, makes the $50 worth every penny, nevermind the vastly superior online service called XBL.

I would buy a Wii if it was the year 2001, when the hardware of the Wii would be only slightlybetter than the original Xbox or PS2.
