    Paying money to play the games online that you've already purchased = lose. PS3 all the way.

    Are you refering to those Mass Multiplayer Online Role Play Game (MMORPG) like World of Warcraft and Matrix Online where you have to pay a subscription fee to play? Yeah, those do suck.

    No, MMORPGs I can sort of understand. But games like Halo 3, where you buy the game at the full cost, and still have to pay for an XBox Live subscription to play it online.

    With MMO's, most of the time the game itself is free but to play online costs money. This is true with WOW and many others.

    You have to!?

    I can now see why the chart suggests that you should stick with a PC if you love video game. I love COD4 on PC and wouldn't exchange it for anything else.

    XBox live will go free the instant Sony catches up in terms of functionality. They're still way behind, but catching up. Home looks like a fucking joke, but there are other ways they could catch up.

    What kind of functionality are you referring to? And yes, Home fucking sucks, but it's nothing more than an advertising tool, and a place for pedophiles to hunt for prey.

    The simple act of getting into a game with my friends is still a much bigger hassle on the PS3. Their friends-integration, the ability to hop from game to game with the same group, the overall user experience just doesn't measure up.
