let's be honest here. Playing online shouldn't cost anything, you gotta admit MS is milking it's fanbase by charging for online play.

I don't care if Xbox Live is 3 times as good, it simply shouldnt cost a thing to play online

I'm with you. Enough of the goddam milking us microsoft. They are already making a ton, just think about how much goodwill they could create by offering some "worthwhile" content for FREE every now and then or at least alot cheaper than what it is. I know they do give out a few freebies here and there but its usually low level stuff and not nearly enough or very often. I think making 1 vs 100 FREE to play was there best move in along time, but its self-serving also because they need to really a huge amount of get excitement going for casual stuff like 1 vs 100 to even have a chance of succeeding on 360.

@iDystopia yeah, Ok bro say what ever you want, I love my 360 and my ps3 but everybody knows when it comes to greed microsoft is easily the king of that arena. You can defend them all you like but if we don't complain they will just keep price gouging, and whats wrong with giving a little back to the fans every now and then? btw YES Live should be FREE, I've been paying for it every year and its a great service but not so much better than psn to warrant the cost, microsoft not showing any signs of at least reducing the price is just 1 more example of them taking 360 owners support for granted, but I'm sure you can't see beyond the fanboy wars to notice.

Sorry, but this is a big world and not many people care about your opinions of Xbox Live...what should and shouldn't cost money....it's popularity is known and valued by the millions willing to play for it, otherwise they'd go to PSN.

Xbox Live is HUGE and leading the industry.

Playstation Network is the wanna-be.

So really they're both wanna-bes.

Steam isn't an better than XBox Live and doens't have even 1/10th the amount of content.

The fact is...XBox Live is leading the industry.... and you pay for everything you can't do on PSN.

LOL Trophies aka PS3 the wanna-be.

What doesn PS3 even have....text chat???

Playstation isn't number one anymore(It's dead last), and PSN is a wanna-be...still trying to get things XBox Live had on day one.(If Sony even is trying too compete with XBL anymore)

4Sh0w - 172 days 4 hours ago

Yeah imo Live is better than psn, but $50 a year better? No. PSN has come along way and anybody whos played both knows it. The fact that microsoft has not at least reduced the price is simply because we all just keep paying and not complaining. Personally its not even about the money, I'm not rich but really I can easily afford it, either way theres no good reason why we should have to pay to play online at this point, we already pay the internet service and the money made off of online content, ie arcade games, movies, advertising, DLC promotionals etc has to be close to what it costs microsoft to maintain a p2p network.

Not even 1/10th the content? Oh man, that's just too funny.

Try double the content of Live, and then some. Steam is the superior service to both PSN and Live, and PC users get it free.

Thanks for playing though.

I didn't know Steam had access to 5,000+ movies for download in HD, 400+ game demos, Countless Documentaries/videos/behind the scenes..... a full arcade section with almost 200 games(demo for every game)... a place to download hundreds of music videos, TV shows.....a Community section with games made by gamers in XNA.

Updated reguarly with Inside Xbox, all gaming events/E3/GDC and everything possible is kept up with on a regular basis. IGN previews Exclusively for Xbox 360. Xbox the Offical magazine previews. Tips for Achivements, and strategies...completely organized....Party chats that can move 8 people into ANY GAME simultaneously(or share movies/music/pictures while not in a game)

These things are new daily.

Xbox Live gets everything first.

I didn't know Steam had Live Gameshows coming where you can play for games, accessories and money(MS Points)

Steam has more REAL games than XBLs arcade system, not to mention community modification support.

I'd go on, but I don't have tine to type a wall of text.

I'll concede that XBL does comms and events slightly better though.

Why do we still get articles like these? Maybe I should just make an article for each game that has DLC such as Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, KillZone 2, Halo 3, and the list goes on....

If you don't like it don't buy it! If you believe developers/publishers are with holding content from the game just to make some extra bucks do NOT buy it! Otherwise just STFU and play the games!!!

It amazes me that people don't understand the concept of a business. A business it maximize profit and as long as people is willing to pay and it is profitable, businesses will cater to it.

Speak for yourself, don't speak for everyone: I've played both and PSN may have come a long way, and it is a nice service, but LIVE is still better, for all the reasons that iDystopia mentioned. And $50 dollars is cheap for what you get.

And talking about DLC ripoffs, what about the almost weekly screwing Sony is giving us in the name of addition Little Big Planet costumes, and Disgaea 3 character packs, a buck or three for each download? Both MS & Sony are ripping us off with the DLC, but as long as people keep overpaying for DLC we will keep getting screwed.

Cayal: You are so wrong, but based on your other comments on this thread, I wouldn't expect anything better from you. Since you obviously don't own a 360 what are you using to judge how good or bad LIVE is or isn't? The PS3 is a nice machine, and I am certain that some people really love it, myself I like it a lot, but you are delusional if you really believe that PSN is better then LIVE.

Let me clear this up for you considering you're having some issues. The author of the article suggested that the DLC was an epic fail. Could be, wouldn't know. The first thing that came to mind when a read "epic fail" was Killzone considering it's sales for all the hype this game received. So does that answer you're question?

Darrius Cole, 1.5 million sales is usually a good number but IMO for Killzone 2 that's and embarrasement to say the least. It is a blockbuster title, am i wrong?

Seriously speaking, Killzone 2 is average at best. The graphics are top notch, no doubt, but the rest is just boring compared to game like COD for example. I played part of the campaign and got fedup with the damn pistol i couldn't drop. Not sure if you can at some point but that was the end of the campaign for me. IMHO i just think, graphics aside, that COD4 is a better overall game but that's just me. If you enjoy it, then i'm happy for you. You're money was well spent!

mario888 - 171 days 13 hours ago

Killzone 2 is a not an auto aim game so may not appeal to everyone.
If you want a challenging game then Killzone is the game for you. Noobs will either learn how to shoot fronm hip at close range or just go back to COD's just pull the gun up and the Auto Aim aim will do the rest.

I play in K2 4x4 , 5x5, 8x8 clan matches regularly. You can do that too in COD but the differenc is if your running and you see a guy in front of you. You have to stop and pull your gun up but if he pulls his gun up first your dead. In Killzone when your close you shoot from the hip. When you shoot from the hip I advise you to learn to shoot and move at the same time.

Being able to shoot and move at the smae time seperates the really good players from the average players. A guy like me just can't play COD because it jsut a game of who can pull your gun up first.

Noobs will continue to love games like COD and Halo and there will always be more noobs in the world than true skilled gamers. So yeah, COD is an awsome game depending on your point of view.

Well actually, Last week, after a year and 1/2, My Xbox Elite red ringed, so I played my PS3 for that one night, and the next day I picked up a brand new Elite for Free "thank you product replacement plan". I also got 2 free games (Halo3/Fable2 package is nice), and a free harddrive, because the sales person was kind enough to allow me to keep it, and since the Elite dropped in price since I bought it I got money back. Next time I might not be so lucky, and yes the red ring sucks, but I still like my 360 just a little bit better... Also, think about this: What is a reason people keep buying 360's even with the red ring problem? In my opinion, it is because although the faulty hardware sucks the gaming is golden! But my PS3 is nice too. ; )
