If your unable to pay roughly 7 cents a day then you have much, much bigger problems than online gaming.
You should all know that you get a month of Live free everytime you start a new account. All you're paying for is to keep your gamertag and gamerscore.
You do know that when Gold expires, you DON'T loose you gamrtag and gamerscore, right? Because it sounded like you didn't.jebussaves88 said:

I hate hate hate hate HATE it when people say "You get what you pay for!" because then you have automatically stated that the PS3 is the best system out there simply for being the most expensive.
But anyway, I really don't get where the conceptions of PSN being horrible compared to LIVE is coming from. Nintendo Wi-Fi I can understand, though the system isn't built for online.
PSN has been great to me, it gets me online to play with other players, HOME is a neat add on, and it's free to boot. The only time it really logs me out is when I'm playing a single-player game interesting enough.
Ironically, LIVE on the otherhand has always been laggy, buggy, and logged out all the time. Though I play with my friend's Xbox, so whenever I come over I play LIVE at his house, but it's always been slow and laggy in whatever game we play except for Halo 3.
I don't see why people think it's good that they pay for a service that should be free in the first place, and don't give me the excuse of "It's not that much!", it's the principle of the matter. It's like paying 5 cents every 5 bites of a piece of bubble gum just to taste the flavor, you shouldn't have to pay them in the first place.
It is (why else would it have wifi built in?), just not for the same games MS and Sony have developed for their system. Games like Mario Party or PGA Golf are what Nintendo had in mind for it's network. Games with tons of on screen action, like FPS's or most team sports games, are not.Jumplion said:
I meant system as in console. The Wii, as a sysytem, is hardly intended for multipurpose online gaming and to suggest so is a little whacked up to say the least. While, yes, it does have games with online capabilities, the main focus of the wii is offline single-player games or offline split-screen multiplayer or some variation of that.paypuh said:
If your good at something don't do it for free. You can give away free piles of shit next to a jewlery store but that wont make them give away free necklesses. It's asentially the same thing. The Wii's online gaming and PSN are shitty and XBL is amazing so microsoft is allowed to charge like 7 dollars a month for it. Trust me it's worth it.Zethen said:
Yea if you can't do that you should probobly sell your 360 for some food or somethingFlap Jack452 said:
I don't see why people keep saying PSN is horrid, Nintendo's I can see because it's severely lacking in most areas, but PSN is just as good as LIVE to me.MicrosoftPaysMe said:
Also I hate this argument, because it can be used against you: If you can afford paying for online how come you can't afford a PS3 LOL PS3 WINSS!!!!!1111oneoneoneone. But people overuse this argument without really explaining why they shell out $50 year after year for a service that Sony and Nintendo have for free and in Sony's case does just as well (minus the party system).MicrosoftPaysMe said:
This is really starting to annoy me. What is it that makes Xbox Live so much better than PSN?
I've been online with both systems and there realy is no difference. Only PSN is FREE.

I don't like paying for it but I don't mind it. I get what I pay for and it's my gift to MicroSoft for the quality entertainment that they provided for me.
