Sony Says the "M" Words About PSN Again: Monthly Fees
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Isn't being free the only thing PSN really has over XBOX live?
I'm sure Sony is aware of this, but then again they thought that the PSP Go was also a good idea. So... yeah

Id rather them fix my ps3 that broke with their 3.10 update. 3.15 didnt do the job.
A friend, not even a mile down the road had a PS3 crap out when he installed 3.10 as well.
Im not giving them $149.99 to give me a halfass system they can charge me again for in 4-5 months when it breaks down because they put the same "used" diode in it they did the original system to begin with.
Another friends crapped out with a red error screen not even 3 weeks after buying it (80gb)
So ya, every single person I know personally, that has owned a ps3, has had to send it back/it quit working. I got one other friend thats getting one for Christmas, lets see how long Sonys new slimline ps3 lasts...(the one with a working blueray diode that doesnt crap out after a month.)
The PSP GO was so bad that you cant even make fun of it... dwarf a fuking psp and charge more for it because of a smaller redesign?
They've been doing stupid shit ever since they announced the PS3, almost every single thing has been complete lolz and failure.
...Sony is really biting on my nerves right now, and im about to the point of wishing the entire f'n game division to crumble to a pulp.
STOP MAKING STUPID DECISIONS!
All you have on board are a few good game devs, and theres no way id stay on a ship heading straight for an iceburg with a drunken idiot as the captain.
50% of Sonys Cell CPU brethren already dumped the sorry saps, virtually killing that whole Cell/take-over idea they were banking on with the PS3. (the main reason for its existence other than blueray)

I honestly believe this is some way to sucker the money tossing Xbox kiddies to come to the dark blue side. The only thing PS3 doesn't have is in-game music and Halo. It's going to be cheap since online gaming is "still going to be free."
HA! Fine with me. I never used it in the first place, too unintuitive and boring. I prefer XBox Live which is actually WORTH paying for.
Ok. Playstation Network is not worth paying for if it doesn't change it's current unintuitive interface, something of which I have never had the patience or money to navigate in the first place.Pararaptor said:
X-Box Live does things direct, and larger than life. Everything is right where you would expect it to be and the satisfaction that comes when finding that what you were looking for is free anyway makes the experience all the more sweeter. Something I have never once encountered while mining away in PSN.
Everything has a price tag, and if you actually paid for everything you wanted in PSN you're already paying for more than you would monthly fees in the first place. The mere fact that they're still considering making it a pay-to-use service only reveals Sony to be the greedy, soulless bastards they truly are.

I am increasingly pleased with my hesitation to become a console gamer. These companies seem a little too prepared to bleed their customers via many knife holes in their respective backs.
