I do not want to have to pay 100 dollars a year to play games online. I own both systems and really and ready to finally settle into just one major system along with my Wii. Playstation Plus seems by far the better deal for 49.99. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/06/16/playstation-plus-coming-soon/

Read the article. The one feature alone is worth 49.99 year and the feature I'm talking about is play before you pay where you can play a game for an hour before you decide to buy it. Demos are one thing but this is a whole nother level. The only thing I still play my 360 is Halo 3. I'm excited about Reach but at the same time with games like MAG I'm sure I can find my first person shooter fix. Plus PS3 has God of War and is getting Dead Rising 2.

This is serious business. I really think that my 360 era might be coming to end in the near future.

Meh, do what you want.

But you realize that you could just keep Live and stick with the free PSN as there are little incentives that make PSN Plus worth it.

And I doubt there will be much selection to that play it for an hour before buying it deal. How many games can you download fully now anyways off of PSN? Then think how many of those are even close to being recent releases? Also, if it has to be specially made like a demo is I don't know if the industry will adopt it very quickly as the added worth wouldn't really be worth it for them.

I thought that the PS3 was trying to bring full games to dlc, like same day release.

Screw Microsoft and the xbox.

Sold mine, stuck with my PS3 and couldn't be happier. I got tired of the faulty hardware of the 360 and obviously the PS3 completes my entertainment center with the built in blu-ray player.

I'm not sure about the PSN+, but some of the features sound nice. I have read that EVERY exclusive PS3 game will be able to be tried for an hour.

As for space, you'll never have to worry about that because not only can you upgrade you HDD to more GB, but it's rumored PSN+ may also be getting Cloud storage.

I would definitely pay for the xbox live and just use the free PSN.

Same day release for full game downloads for a good number of games (IE not just a few so they can say they have it) is unlikely to be coming to either console this generation or if it is it will not be for a while.
