The price increase isn't that big for us, but the money income for them will be huge. Just shows how greedy people can be.
My Xbox 360 has been broken for about a year now and thought I'd buy a new one since Reach is coming (halo fanboi), but this news has made me re-think - I might get PS3 instead and see how that goes..

It'll probably convince quite a few people to quit. But I had a think about it, and I've come to the conclusion that Microsoft will get back the money from the customers they've lost from those that are willing to the extra. Needless to say, it's not going to cripple XBL.GonzoGamer said:
Where are these loads of games I don't find on PSN thaty are GOOD. During my few one month XBL subscripton I saw nothing I like. Hell the only good ones I've heard of are Limbo and Splosion Man. What games are you speaking of?ultrachicken said:
...Yet another reason for me to use Steam instead. For chrissakes, Xbox Live even charges you for profile pictures!
I was responding the the person's comment on the amount of content, not the quality. And I don't want to start a console war, so pay attention next time.IamSofaKingRaw said:
I don't see the connection. You didn't care about playing online, so you got the one that allows you to play online for free? I just don't see the logical progression there.JaymesFogarty said:
It's like saying "I couldn't decide between milk and orange juice. I didn't want to mix any of this with my coffee, as I like my coffee black, so I opted to get milk."
it already costs $55-65 depending where you shop here in ontario.. as long as it doesnt go up to over $100 i'm still ok with it. the mods keep the morons down and they need to get paid somehow
That's silly... Xbox Live Gold is more expensive than it should be as it is (as in: more than $0.00. PSN is free, that Wii connect thing is free, PC connection is free) and of course they're only going to slightly raise the prices... before you know it we'll get more and more of these and everyone will say "Oh, only $5 more? I can pay for that."
But if I'm not mistaken, there is no raise for a 12 month membership, is there?

I was about to ask this guy the same question, but you beat me to it (nice analogy btw) but I'm afraid this guy is probably not going to understand what you said, usually people who say something as stupid as he just did don't understand logical reasoning...bojac6 said:
Well im just glad that PSN is still free...
Besides, I never saw the point in paying money to play online, when I never play online that much.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Playstation Plus. It is no different that the Publishers Club here on the escapist. PSN Plus users get a few perks and if you get a years worth you even get a free game out of it, but the BASIC service still remains free.cartographer54 said:
The Playstation Network is still the model of customer satisfaction when it comes to online [console] gaming.
No, I was only booing, cuz i heard the lbp2 beta was going to be playstation plus exclusive, and the fact that I like free stuff.ShadowKatt said:
For me, the big attraction of the Xbox 360 was the Live, as it was something that everyone who had an Xbox lauded over. When I focussed on single-player experiences, the PS3 had an advantage in its library, which is why I went for it. I will admit that the wording was terrible. I'll try to explain it better.bojac6 said:
"The Xbox 360's advantage over PS3 is its' advanced online system, (supposed of course, as I didn't get one. If it's anything like Steam, good job Microsoft!) The PS3's advantage over Xbox was more single-player friendly games, that I personally was interested in. If I liked online play, I doubtlessly would have opted to get an Xbox. However, I didn't, so for me the PS3 had the advantage. Another advantage is that if I eventually decide to stop rocking the social boat, (so to speak, start gaming online) I will again fire up Steam, and use PSN at last for no sneaky extra costs. Do you have a 360? Is the online really that good?
