Seriously. I think it's rediculous that you have to pay for Xbox live,
You can just play online on the PS3

Look at the differences between the ps3 and the xboxs internet. I dont have a problem paying a measly $7 a month, just so everyonce in a while me and my buds can go kill some n00bs on halo. But anyways the xbox has a better online system going on. Besides, you can just hack your through

Because Microsoft likes to hoard money?

But yeah...ps3 is definitely the better choice. And now with the price cut, its DEFINITELY the better choice.

there was a price cut? 0_o soon it's gonna turn into another ps2 (very cheap, a long time ago, ps2 was pretty expensive, and now it's like $90 )

i say the ps3 has a better system instead of the 360 which goes of a host connection basically if they have a bad connection so will you but the price isnt to expensive to where its a problem to buy it for the 360.

yeah, the 360 online system is MUCH better, however it's less than $5 a month not 7.

PS3 is better for playing online definitely, because you can get most of the cool Xbox games on the PS3 too, except Halo of course, but that gets boring online.

I don't see why people are saying its better...I own both systems, and I find that only play is equal. Except DLC on PS3 takes slightly longer...

I'll say this as a fan of the PS3 and someone who really dislikes the 360. The online system of the 360 is definitely better than the PS3l however I dislike the fact you have to pay for it.

The PS3 is better if, for some reason, you can't spare $5 a month; and if that's the case how did you ever get a 360. You're paying for the service of playing on their servers, just like an MMORPG. Sure Microsoft may be greedy by making you pay, but suck it up.

i think the online for the PS3 and xbox 360 are equal in quality but i likke the PS3 better cause you don't have to pay... but one thing i dislike is you can't get Gears Of War or halo for PS3.

That's just the thing. I wouldn't wanna waste money on it. And $50 a year for 360 Live Gold. In 4 years, that could have possibly paid the same amount for another 360.

Why pay if you don't have to, you can just get a PS3 and not have to waste your money!
