Okay, to be honest, this one’s been brewing for a while and I’m not sure I’ll touch on all my points in a single rant, but here goes. Who in the hell decided that something you pay for is automatically better than something that’s free? How does “cost” factor into quality? Someone give me an actual tangible answer. I challenge anyone to make a compelling argument directly supporting that other than “because I say” or some crap like that.

People always point out how expensive the Xbox Live infrastructure must be to maintain and that Xbox Live Gold absolutely HAS to be a fee service passing that expense on to the customer. This is usually countered with the fact that the Playstation Network (PSN) is crap and it’s crap because it’s free. I’m sorry… that is SO not necessarily related.
