yep it doesn't matter who's paying for it, it would still cost them less in the end. xbox could charges less and PS would spend less to offer it for free.
Wii could get on board for free or a small charge, PC would be free like PS.

Dunno why MS even charges [they didn't for PC games], maybe cept to make up on the losses as they still sell their systems at a loss I think, the original xbox they lost like $350 per sale ever at full retail.

You get what you pay for though. =P Any game I buy to play online will always be on the 360 until the next gen consoles hit and then I'll evaluate them again.

Only reason to buy a PS3 is blu ray, or Final Fantasy XII

The differences between Xbox and PS3 online are not worth $20 or so per 3 months. MW2 and NHL are just as good on my PS3 as they were on my XBox.

he should just let the computer play the defense for him then. I'll admit, i'm better on offense, but i'm getting there when it comes to defense.
