> [@RobHimself](#): > > This plus Kevins post. Really microsoft builds up live like its the best thing since sliced bread and for the most part they are pretty close. It is the best online experience out of any of the consoles. besides all the bullshit they have on xbox live before playing a game, what is the difference with the game play itself between the 2 systems, what makes xbox better for game play? sorry i don’t read all into gaming consoles, not my top priority ---

Better triggers on the controllers in my book for the 360. I also like the left analog being more towards the top since it is used the most. Arent the PS3’s triggers r2 l2 wider? not feeling like pistol triggers at all. ---

but is there actually an explanation to why you need to pay for xbox live and not with ps3. pretty much what im getting out of this is just better meeting up with friends on xboxlive than ps3, but yet you still need to pay like 50$ a year every year to have it compared to never having to pay for it. ---

Because for the amount of work that has gone into making Live what it is. They are always trying to make it better with updates. The experience is worth the very tiny fee they ask you to pay for. Do you have Xboxlive? ---

How many different ways do people in this thread have to say, “you get what you pay for” before you get it? XBL = A massive online community with constant upgrades and 99.9% uptime. Gaystation Network = 2 homos running a BBS on a 56k modem out of their basement. $50 a year for what you get in quality service with XBL is a great deal. ---

I paided $31 for 13 months previously. Now with Microsoft Live discounts you can pick it up even cheaper. ---

I use to think the same thing then I realized that in a few years my computer was pretty much worthless for playing games and needed to be upgraded or replaced.

Yep, but I bet that computer you had does everything else you need a computer to do just fine right (web, email, edit pictures, office suite etc)? That’s why I gave up on computer gaming. Just didn’t seem worth it to keep building $1000 rigs to play games when I could buy a $300 Xbox and play for years with zero dollars in upgrades. ---

Also i know that with a keyboard mouse anyone could pwn. Using a controller (a good controller) it levels the playing field so to speak. On top of that there are no “hacks” so if you suck its your own fault.
