Nope, that's not the same at all.
PSN for multiplayer works. No PS3 owner i know has complained about playing multiplayer on PSN.
So we're comparing a service that really works, with another service that really works.
Plus, you're missing the part where i said...
I've paid for it already, so then they wanna make me pay again?
Yes, M$ gives you alot of bang for your buck, but that does not detract from the lack of free online multiplayer, which PSN provides
M$ forces you to take their bag of goodies in order to get online mutiplayer.
I don't want those goodies... i just want online multiplayer
For me, M$ can only ever rectify the situation by making online multiplayer free.
Thing is, do you think that if M$ offered free online multiplayer, everyone would still renew their Gold subscription? And this is why they won't do it.
Which takes this all the way back to Page 1 where we found out that they charge you only cos they know you will pay
Hey man... M$ is
charging you for this so they BETTER be improving the service regardless of what Sony is doing. You're expecting the free service to be premium quality? No way that happens in the real world. What you should be expecting is for M$ (the paid service) to be so far ahead that Sony has to get off their a$$es and improve PSN
But i''m now digressing in order to address your points...
My focus in this whole discussion is online multiplayer.
The rest doesn't matter to me
PSN is doing it (and nobody complains about how
[email protected] it is) for free, while XBL needs you to pay (a 2nd time)
