Thus most games are hosted on peoples systems (both for 360 and PS3) so no you aren't paying for server hosting. As for map packs and the such, map packs and extra content are made by the original developer of the game so they don't really see any of the money Microsoft gets for your subscription so thats not true either. So lets review 1. You pay a monthly online fee for online content. 2. This money is not paying for extra content. 3. This money is not paying for servers. 4. So what are you paying for? (Note: Most DLC costs additional money to download or buy from the store in the first place) Servers no, most online games use host systems to run for servers.

I am not a PS3 fanboy, I actually owns all 3 consoles, but I regret doing business with M$. People, Halo 3 and GOW2 aren't what you call good exclusive. People should look at Uncharted, Valkyria Chronicles, Killzone 2, Resistance, Infamous, FFXIII Versus (and FFXIII, because the 360 version is gonna be horrible), White Knight Chronicles, God of War 3 (not released, but better then anything the Xbot has), Gran Turismo 5 (not released yet, and makes Forza 3 looks like a piece of crap, really, it's gonna be way better). I could name more exclusives, but most of them are RPGs, which the 360 fanboys hates, cuz they only play sports and fps. All the 360 rpgs are being ported to the ps3. Star Ocean 4, getting an US release, Tales of Vesperia (There is 99% chances this is coming to USA as well). I bet Magna Carta 2 is coming to PS3. Infinite Discovery isn't, it's a Microsoft IP, but it really suck. The Last Remnant wasn't a good game. As for FPS, Uncharted, Uncharted2, Killzone >>>>> Halo 3 and Gears of War. Not to mention Uncharted 2 is impossible on 360, it can't do this much. The PS3 is really the superior console. Yes there is PS3 failures too, the Yellow light or something, but the failure is so low, that anyone with a release model will probably never experience. As for multiplatform games looking better on 360, well, except for the obvious Bayonetta, you are all wrong, they all look the same. The 360 is a piece of junk.

It couldn't be any fucking easier. I know the Xbox 360 is usually pictured vertically, but lay it horizontally and it is MUCH less likely to fail. I've had mine for 2 years now with no RROD (original-run Elite). I also live with four friends, each with his own 360 - including one model from the day it came out. None of them have EVER failed in ANY way. We don't even know what an RROD looks like. Are we just lucky to have a 0% failure rate between our five consoles? Is it just some crazy coincidence? Fucking unlikely. Just a little tip we heard early on: lay it horizontal and it WILL stay alive. For fuck's sake, people, DON'T STAND IT UP! It couldn't be any fucking easier.

I love how you idiots keep using hardware to try to justify your "gaming" experience on a console. Give anyone a choice between ps3 (cant play ps2 games) and ps2, 9/10 they're going to choose ps2. Face it, ps3's library is immature and sony's "standards" for games are holding back smaller companies. ATLUS for example, moved on to the psp instead. the 54% supposed failure rate doesn't make the games any less fun than whatever boring ass crap the ps3 has.
