But most of the people except for the die hard PS3 fans, tell me that the xb360 pad is the pinicale of comfort. I would almost agree with that if not for the fact, the FACT mind you, that the best controler ever made is with out a doubt the Classic ColecoVision controler. This thing had it all, solid rectangle design, huge nob like joystick(nevermind what that sounds like youngen), lots of buttons, and to top it off an insert with graphics over the button pad! Now that was top teir right there. What? Oh. Sorry, yes I am old. But I prefer Classic! Retro is ok too, really. Ok. Yes, leaving now. “That’s odd…most people prefer Ps3’s controler over 360’s everyone is more familiar with it since the Psone days.

(although I first owned a 360 and bought my PS3 2 years later) Yes, the 360 controller is more ergonomic but what I really hate is the asymmetric analogue-sticks and the overall weight. If there would be a less heavy 360 controller with both analogue-sticks in the lower position I surely would prefer this over the current PS3 controller. But unfortunately this is not the case. @ Blerk

Steam makes a LOT of money without charging, PSN makes a LOT without charging, no doubt XBL does as well, without the fees even taken into consideration.. And NO to ads on these services as well.. It seems that what happens here will set forever what is to be the standard in gaming.. And given the already profitable nature of these services, I hope that as customers we should say we want high quality, no-fee, advert-free networked services. These reports though seem to be, or at least certainly could be, in relation to game specific monthly fees, such as for the Sony MMOs, as opposed to fees to use the network itself.

I carry the max players that can join with me anytime, in any game, on P2P server online games with NO LAG when I host. So it depends where the host is from. Not PSN. RFOM 30 players online LAG FREE. R2 60 players 30 vs 30 online LAG FREE.

I've not had too much experience with Live but from what i've seen of it at my mates house it's pretty impressive and cross game chat is cool. On the other hand, i've never had any problems with PSN, and it also has a good set of features on it. I would have to say that the UI is better on PSN, as Live just feels cluttered. Anyway, considering PSN has been out for just under 3 years i'd say it's doing alright and i've personally got nothing against it.

Imagine the abuse Murdoch is getting for pay-walls on news sites to the power of a 1,000... the commercial damage of that would outweigh infrastructure overheads for Sony.

None what so ever. Aye, I can see no reason that a company losing money hand over fist would even countenance the possibility of charging for something it is ‘current’ly giving away for free.

There will be new things, new stuff, new ways of interacting with content that they will charge for - and you will have a simple choice - pay it or don't. No-one will hold a gun to your head. Everything you have now will be and always will be free - any new things, whole new innovations and platforms may well come with a price. They are not going to suddenly turn round and make you pay for things that used to be free.

Maybe they will have seperate servers with less lag, and what not.. Either way, you do not have to pay to play online.. only Xbox does that shit People don’t complain, to play online it will still be free, only the ones that are fans and want most out of the PSN will have to pay.
