3 years is what we should get now for 60 bucks .

1$ for 1 month is certainly better than free PSN and PS+ combined.

If this was M$ master plan. Then you know that running Xbox Live doesn't cost that much, and Microsoft should be charging less for Live...

Didn't they just raise their service fee though?? mmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is not a news article. This is a stupid speculation.

So, all this for a "GLITCH" that some of the users found and took advantage of?!
So MS, didn't mean to give up the promo for 3yrs?

Sounds a lot like spin to me.

well, at least some of the users got a super deal for something they like doing!

Ya, they're REAL committed at 1 euro a month for 3 years (aka 36 euro)...

Whoever wrote this isn't very smart.

So much money /s

...YET...

The same people crying like Glenn Beck will go out and purchase launch consoles for $600-$700 and say nothing about those costs...

Those same people then go out and purchase games for $60 a pop...

Then continue to purchase DLC for those very same $60 games that they just purchased which should have been included in the game anyways...and will pay whatever cost for that "DLC"...

And then whine about costs like XBL?

I own both 360 and PS3 and have used online with both quite often. I have to say though when it come to online play the difference between playing online with the 360 and PS3 is almost non existent (I say almost because there is bound to be slight technical and performance differences) so really MS should at least make gaming online free imo. Anyone who thinks that there is a notable difference in the quality of either online experience is being lied to or just trolling =/ When it comes to things such as what indie games you can purchase or other DLC's on Xbox Live then that also isn't a justification to charge you for it, since you have to pay for such content before being able to use it anyway. You are already paying a subscription fee why should you have to pay for everything else ? you should be getting more for paying a monthly subscription right? not just access to being able to pay for more, All the subscription is letting you do is exactly what you get for free on PSN access to shops, online play, DLC. Seriously it seems like many some people just make up wild outlandish lies about some drastic difference between the online experiences and service quality that just isn't true.

To be honest, I didn't really understand what the article was getting at.

It got even more confusing when PS3 owners then got included.

Poorly written I think.

I already pay for internet access why should I pay to use part of a game that i have already paid for?

I actually took advantage of this deal when PSN was down. one dollar a month, who cares right? Call about mid month to cancel it since PSN came back up, the guy says okay, gave me a confirmation number and i even get an email "you cancelled Live." End of the month comes around "Thanks for subscribing to another month of Live"....I get charged for it and I call to cancel it again.

Customer service is friendly ill give him that. He cancelled it, noted that i did it earlier and it was just a mishap. Go to my Xbox live and it has no service, I get an email again etc...a month later the charge still didnt get refunded to my credit card. I dont like calling and reporting charges but you took the time to close my Xbox live account immediately, but are gonna take your sweetass time refunding my money? Dont think so.

Tip for ALL Xbox Live customers though. Dont buy it through the system. Call them. Better yet get this dollar one and call to cancel it. Either way call to cancel it. They will give you some deals that way. For example he offered me 3 months for like 8 bucks, or a year for half the price.

most of the comments on this site miss the point of the article once again. are you guys idiots or sad trolls with the same arguments year after year, or both?

this is getting sad? you all sound like religious nutters, bashing anyone who does not subscribe to your religion

Yea that article lost me lol

Hey, I wonder if Sony actually brought PSN down on itself so everyone could try Infamous 1 and then want to buy Infamous 2! LOL. Brilliant! ;)

No. The glitch was a glitch with XBL. Don't read into it anymore than that guys. LOL

This is far out.

if they scammed the scammers, there screwing the normal subscribers :p

"Ive been a ps owner for a long time and have never felt as if they are fuckin me for my money. The fact that they dont charge for internet and dump TONS of THERE money into making there exclusives as top notch as possible makes me a happy camper. If they didnt care they would charge for internet and barely release decent exclusives."

Yep exactly....and not to mention that Sony have allowed us to use our old machines controllers & other peripherals on there new machines, and PS2 played PS1 games, & the PS3 I have plays PS2 & PS1 games, not to mention blu ray & standard dvd's, as well as the fact that PSP, PS3 & now PSvita are all region free for games. Nintendo would never entertain allowing peripherals to crossover to there new machines or games......and MS are the same for the same reasons, as shown by the fact that you have to put some MS special hdd toss in your 360 to upgrade the hdd, instead of being able to just upgrade with any ol' hdd bought from anywhere like Sony allow with PS3.

Man Blinx is whack as whack as ...Knack.

Man, what i would do for a new Chromehounds. The game was so good imo

I will beat both blinxs one day! The first game got really hard after like 9 or 10 levels. Bling Blinx!

Blinx was terrible. I remember playing it and thinking wtf?

Someone really need to revive Blinx, or make a game like it, the idea of the time power is really good, they just need to improve it, and its way more interesting than in quantum break.

Dammit I want Deathrow!
