Thank you, gekko. All is clear for me now.

I would love to get an Xbox for Xbox Live, but, my parents are stupid when it comes to buying things online (or paying extra cash to go online).

With Sony, I will be able to pay for the modem, then that is it (this is because I probably will not be buying the games that have monthly fees). The bad part about this is that some of the great games might cost monthly payments (GTA4 better not!). But for now, I will be happy playing SOCOM, Madden 2003 and THPS3 online with no extra fees.

With MicroSoft, I can see the fees building up right now. $120 for every additional year! Plus the possibility of paying more per game. But that is fine for me, because I will not be buying those games anyways. Xbox has some very attractive online games that I would really want to get, but the problem is, I still do not even have an Xbox game console. An Xbox, 3 games and 3 years of online play would cost me $952 Canadian. I really don't want to pay this much.


Thanks again gekko for making this clear.
