PSN is tacked on shit that mostly works, but couldn't hold a flaming pubic hair to the vastly superior Live setup. If PS3 had something that was actually comparable, their sales would jump dramatically.

Thank You!!! People dont Believe me when I say LIVE Smacks the shit out of PSN...Its 50 dollars a Year...if you cant fork up that you have issues...and probably cant afford to be playing 60 Dollar a pop video games on a 200 dollar system.

At least someone sees the light.

Really, here's how I see it: it's less than 5 bucks a month. If 5 bucks a month is what it takes to maintain the service so that everything remains seamless, I can totally afford not going to McDonald's for one meal each month to cover that cost. And that's not even a true cost anymore. Any decent amount of searching will get you a 12 months plus another month card for under 40 bucks. If Sony wanted to charge $50/year to bring PSN up to XBox Live standards, I'd be more than happy to pay it, because PSN is barely acceptable. The only thing I like better about PSN over XBox Live is their store front, and I'd give up the fancy GUI for consistent, reliable, and seamless online integration in my games.

Does it have HDMI connections? My current one doesn't. I'd like to replace it with one of the Xbox's that has the HDMI, but I didn't know if the cheapy one has that or sticks with the Component Cables.

If you don't mind refurbished stuff, keep an eye on buy.com. I managed to get a fucking sweet deal on a 22" widescreen monitor with HDMI hookups. Sure, it's only 720p, but it also only cost 139 shipped. PS3 games and bluray movies look damn good on it. The Xbox looks good on it too, but I've got it hooked up through the VGA port instead of HDMI, so I think I'd like to see the difference between the two.
