Agree. I said before, all PSN faults are forgiven because of the cost of entry. If they charge next gen there will be no excuses though.
Yep. I only play a few times online. I prefer the campaign than the multiplayer, always. So, for me, XBL give me less, because I don't pay Live, and I have a lot of options (that are not even related with online) blocked, that I can enjoy on PSN.
But for other people, that play often online, the cost of entry is cheap (not the official, but if you look for internet) enought to have the full package if you are really going to use it. And I can accept than, specially on US, where there are more services than in my country, the gold package is better than PSN free offer. Still not worthy for me.
But, if PSN start being charged for online, even if it's a couple of dollars each month, I won't pay it, even if this blocks me half the features.
