Xbox's QUALITY >>>>>>>>>>>>>
I knew I made the right choice by buying an Xbox. Xbox Live has YET to disappoint me.
Y'all cheap ass Playstation users can stay mad, though.
Giggles @ that time PS' servers were down for like a month.

First of all, Sony is doing this to improve their servers. You tout Xbox Live as being this unbeatable juggernaut...well, Sony was never going to beat that juggernaut with PSN unless they got money from the people. Xbox Live has been the better online service this current generation, I agree...and I also think THAT'S why Sony is charging people to play online. They want a service equal to or better than Xbox Live, and they realize that charging online gamers is the only way to do it. They were never going to best Xbox Live otherwise. It's a necessity.
Second, PS+ was, is, and will be a better deal to gamers than Xbox Live. Whoop-dee-frickin'-doo, Xbox Live is offering free games for 360 Gold members until the release of the Xbox One. Sony has been doing this for ages now with PS+, and they are offering more recent and fresh games than Halo 3. And whereas Microsoft is stopping this free games business with the release of the One, Sony is continuing it on the PS4, to the point that they are offering a launch title AT LAUNCH for FREE. And that's not even counting the many discounts Sony has on their games with PS+...or the fact that it's $10 cheaper to get a year of PS+ with all of the free games and discounts.
Just offering my two cents.
