Well i'd pay for it the months i got a new game with good online features.
also I think PSN is better then XBL for 1 reason
Most of the games i want to play online are PS3 exclusives.
Like
ressistance 2
LBP
And there are games next year i'll be playing online that are exclusive
MAG
Killzone 2
Anway I rarely play online anyway i perfer sandbox games like Gta IV (i know it has online but i mostly play single player), fallout 3 and oblivion
how about make it cost NOTHING and be happy.
* OMG LOOK ITS FREE YAY* :D
my problem with paying for monthly subscriptions is that I am not trusting of the big companies, and with good reason.
Flashback around 2 years or so. I had a 360 and opened an x box live account. played for about a month and then got bored with my games that supported live, so I called (waited on the phone for like an hour) and canceled my account.
so about 8 months later, after assuming my account was closed I hadnt worried about it. Then I recieved a bank statement. there it was, the monthly charge for Xbox live. (and at the time it was much more expensive than it is now, like 12.95 a month) so I called again. after another Hour long wait, I finally got somone on the phone. they had "forgotten" to cancel my account the first time that I called (even though they said there was a note made on my account that I had called) and they were "unnable" to credit back the 8 months of charges I had recieved.. I re-canceled my account... and told the guy I would never have another one.
Now i think thats pretty crappy, but the real issue is that I'm not the only person this has happened to. both my brother, and a friend of mine has had this exact same problem... insane.
I say don't give Sony any ideas. No way on earth would I pay for the service. Sure I play online, but not enough to warrant an outlay of £10 a month. Xbox live is a fantastic service, but after my first year I stopped signing up. I get to play maybe an hour a day on either my PS3 or Wii. Work, kids and general day to day living keep my playing time down.
if ps3 makes us pay,
am buying a xbox.
No, this is probably one of the biggest selling points for the PS3; sure, it's a little more expensive than a 360 right out of the box, but it includes so much with that price that 360 users will be paying for over time anyway.
I think I would've just stuck with a wii instead of paying recurring fees for online pay.
i got a wii already. :P
when it first came out,
nintendo mah homie <3
Me too, but I almost never play it... I only ever play Wii Sports now with friends, and to this day never played an online wii game.
Yeah, you and the rest of the world that's had a Wii for at least a month. Play it for a bit and it sits on the shelf collecting dust if you don't have young kids around. All in all, it's a fine console, but it just doesn't keep up with the PS3 or 360 in a lot of ways.Quote:

times as much sold then ps3 and xbox
or lets not forget ds killing psp.
Well, I just think that we perceive the Wii as lacking games or something simply because we don't think them up. There's WAYYYYY more games released on the Wii than on the 360 and PS3 but there's probably the same percentage or great ones. It's just that you need to dig through the ocean of crap much more.
If I look at my gaming rack there's alot more Wii games than PS3 games even if the Wii is my less played console. To me this tells alot. And I don't buy any casual game, just quite hardcore gamer stuff and niche stuff.
.
i wouldnt pay it...i owned an xbox360 before i owned a ps3, and i still play it sometimes(usually just rock band because i dont have it for ps3). My bros play it all the time while i play ps3. I would stick to xbox360 if ps3 charge 15 bucks a month...thats like WoW, and only extreme nerds like those two fat kids who live down my street play it. =P
If they had a monthly fee, I'd probably change to the Xbox.
A few months ago, I would say no, I wouldnt pay for a monthly fee. But now that Killzone 2 is out, and im really addicted to the multiplayer now, a subscription fee similair to that of the 360 doesnt seem all that bad xD
I wouldn't buy any games with online. In fact I would stop buying new games altogether. I would only buy classic ps2 titles and stop following gaming altogether.
I can't switch to Microsoft as they are the cancer of the video game industry, and Nintendo is casual gaming for soccer moms.
It would be the end of gaming for me.
