honestly, this whole 'xbox live is expensive' argument is a bit subjective (and not very convincing) if you asked me.
xbox live cost SGD88 or RM200 per year (you can get it even cheaper actually but this is what i'm paying with my cc). it's about RM16 per month or 55 sen per day.
Is this really that expensive for a service with a down time of probably maximum 1 day in year and offers a much more user friendly, integrated and stable experience?
of course you can never argue with something that costs 0. lol. to each his own i guess.
True that, with Live I usually get 1 ~ 3 bars playing with foreign players. Not very good, but still playable, and it is stable.
(*On the up side - there was a time the system turned to me to host a game, i got FULL bar and everyone else got one - I pwn'ed everyone LOL)
Is it true that with PSN you can barely play with foreign players, esp in MW2 - hardly (or never) get beyond a bar? Correct me if i am wrong, not trying to flame but I am truly interested in PS3 online gaming experience - planning to get one.
At the end of the day, blame it on Streamysuckx.
