PSN PLUS PAID SERVICE
These include PlayStation Store discounts and free PlayStation Network games and Downloadable Content (DLC), PSone Classics and PlayStation Minis which the user will own for the duration of their subscription as well as themes and avatars which the user can keep after their subscription has lapsed. PlayStation Plus also offers "Full Game Trials" of some PlayStation Network and retail games, allowing the user to download the full game and use it for one hour (the game expires 1 year after download until the trial has commenced, after which, the trial expires 60 minutes after it has been launched from the XMB). Users can later purchase the game and continue their progress (earned trophies are not added to the users PSN profile until the game is purchased).
AND MUCH MORE does your xbox live gold let you choose from a range of free full games to download? NO you cant even play online without a gold.
One thing i give for xbox is the metro UI is far superior then the XMB is my opinion. XMB is simple and bare bones does the job though.
all that doesnt matter dont care what service the xbox live has and what xbox gold gives me which i can get for free anywhere else. The main thing is i want to play online i dont give two craps about the services on each platforms.
PSN gives me the choices but still lets me play online.
XBL gives me the choices only if i pay gold to access them and doesnt let me even play online without gold.
