Well, if you wanna count the cost of online gaming, then to be fair you also need to count the cost of a suitable TV for each console.....a 1080p TV for a PS3 will set you back another few thousand at least.... I mean c'mon, you're not gonna spend RM2K+ for a PS3 and then play it on a 21" CRT TV now, would ya? 
I'd say that overall, a good PS3 experience is still expensive for the average Malaysian. Those people who do have a PS3, already have enough money to get the hardware to support it, so expensive or not, it's not really an issue.
You can get away with a good X360 experience for much cheaper, thanks to the VGA cable and relatively cheap widescreen LCD monitors available nowadays. The extra US$50 for Live is really nothing compared to splashing out for a 1080p TV
What grey area?? Most people here are happily playing on Live with no problems. Yes, they do acknowledge Malaysia as a Live country although it is not officially supported. We have our own Xbox Live ambassador here
actually i think XBoxlive is expensive.. I'd say that overall, a good PS3 experience is still expensive for the average Malaysian. Those people who do have a PS3, already have enough money to get the hardware to support it, so expensive or not, it's not really an issue.

here is why..
i am a busy person.. due to my schedule..
sometimes i am free for a whole week.. sometimes i am not free for a month straight..
and i probably get <10-15 hours of time playing game a week, and i have single player games to play too, not to mention i am also a multiconsole owner..
that is y i think it is expensive..
and dont forget we are paying for original games.. i juz dont get it, charging ppl again.. IMO, not everyone is really that free to game when they have other things which is more important to do in the life.. school days are over.. and hey, PC games online has been around long before xboxlive services.. and most of them require u to purchase the original game only.. no need monthly payment also, we are already paying for internet bills (other than MMORPG)
