Why do we have to pay ????

Here is a post from somebody that actually play ps3 look up my account if you want to. Just saying.

Why should anyone buy an Xbox over ps3? Ps3"has free has FREE online, Xbox doesn't; and bull**** about psn not having secure server is a lie. As far as mw 1, 2, and 3, they have been hacked just as bad on Xbox as on ps3.

I can go on cod ghost, bo2, any reasonably recent game and play a smooth, un hacked, FREE game of mp.... On playstation. Also, Xbox doesn't have as good exclusives, ya it has bungie (the makers of halo) but honestly, playstation's go to company, naughty
dog, is far more prestigious, they made the last of us, which has something like 500 game of the year awards, and on top of that, they have the uncharted series, which is also highly decorated.

So think about, which console are you get more out of, and which one is sucking us your money?

There are quite a few perks like free games every month, discounts on games, money invested in the infrastructure ... the better question is why not pay for it?

Hi there Rudster1001, I'll be quoting another user here (Temhotabot) because this question is asked time and time again, but here goes.

Because people can't be bothered to use the SEARCH feature to see if any other threads like this exist. It isn't free for many reasons. One being that that is how MS chooses to run their business. Two being that we pay for a monitored
and enforced service. If you have an issue with another gamer you can report them and so long as what they are doing violates the Code of Conduct/Terms of Service they will be punished, the other services (you know the FREE ones) do not offer that. If you
want FREE online then you are free to choose one of the other services. Since gaming is a choice you aren't limited to using just one system/service.
