(reads list)
Jesus, you barely even had 5 legitimate arguments... - sUGArDawg, on 03/31/2008, -1/+7It's only $50 a year: get a job or STFU
- raitchison, on 03/31/2008, -2/+7Sony would charge for PSN if they could get away with it, but PSN is simply < XBL so they have to make it free to have some kind of competitive advantage over XBL.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you just posted the same thing in 3 different ways and tried to make it look like 3 separate problems. - nateIT, on 03/31/2008, -3/+7what i don't get is the fact that i pay for live and i see ads on almost every single blade. why am i paying money to be advertised to?
- Nobi-Wan, on 03/31/2008, -1/+5The ability to have a higher player count doesn't mean you're automatically going to have more players. It's all a matter of preference and I like the setup for online gaming on Xbox Live. I also have the ability to play a 5+ year old game on Xbox Live with friends from across the country if I want. I don't have to worry about Sony permanently shutting down the servers for a game whenever they please. cough*MetalGearSolid3online*cough
- WhereAmI, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3Out of the 9 XMB menu's, you get stuck seeing 0 ads. Out of 0 ads, you can remove all of them.
- WhereAmI, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2I pay for Sirius satellite radio, why can't I listen to the ads?
- CollapseControl, on 03/31/2008, -2/+4Same old complaints the little children always spew, nothing new here.
The ADs on the dashboard are not bad at all, they are actually informative and give us gamers info on whats going on. It's not like we are getting SUBWAY ads, MATCH.com or whatever dumb ads we see on this site and others.
Some of you kids have nothing better to do than bitch & moan about such meaningless stuff.
Also, just because PSN has dedicated servers doesn't mean it is better than XBL. Not to mention that PSN allows mods, so it is a matter of time before those little pricks start cheating during online matches, just wait and see. - Magee1205, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2#5) PC Online Is Superior and Free
#4) Playstation Network Is Catching Up
#3) Doesn't Cost Microsoft A Lot
#2) Microsoft Makes Load Off Downloads
#1) Sell More Consoles
Can we get some proof for #'s 1-3? Or did the author just make up 5 random "facts"? - wageslaven, on 03/31/2008, -5/+5You get what you pay for. Look around the market, what is worth $3.24 per month?
- ronnsprocket, on 03/31/2008, -2/+2#6.
because they have ***** ads? nothing pisses me off more than waiting for the ***** dashboard to load up because of ads. I have 5mb/s...not ***** lightening, but its pretty quick and it takes me nearly 30 seconds just to have the dashboard load.
oh, and #7 should be b/c of the ***** interface. - CollapseControl, on 03/31/2008, -3/+3Out of the 4 regular blades you only get stuck seeing 1 AD. Out of 7 ADs total, you can remove 6 of em.
- truspector, on 03/31/2008, -1/+1I pay for my satellite service, why do I have to watch commercials?
- WhereAmI, on 03/31/2008, -2/+1Sony can't charge for PSN because they leave it open to the developers. They are the deciding factor in whether or not their game is free. So yes, expect some games on the PS3 to be charged per month or year or whatever in the future.
- WhereAmI, on 03/31/2008, -2/+1Because they can.
- buddapalm, on 03/31/2008, -6/+4but... xbox live IS free.
- WhereAmI, on 03/31/2008, -3/+1Well I don't pay for PSN directly and thats a great service. I even hooked up my PS3 to my laptop and was able to play Warhawk on dial up internet (didn't want to do it, its all they have in the middle of nowhere, at my parents house).
- WhereAmI, on 03/31/2008, -3/+1Do you sign up once a month like I do?
I hear after 4 signups your xbox won't let you do it anymore so thats going to be a pain next time I sign up I think. But I'll use a friends xbox probably. - inactive, on 03/31/2008, -8/+5"you get what you pay for."
No you don't, hence why it should be free
PSN's dedicated servers give better in-game performance and the ability to have higher player counts.
Live is susceptible to lag attacks and host advantages, along with inferior in-game performance due to peer to peer.
PSN being free is superior in-game. Same for PC gaming. Live charges for less.
And buddapalm you retard, you know damn well they are talking about Gold, not silver
