Oh my Gee Wiz, Sony!

Yeah, because major financial institutions, government agencies and telecommunication companies don't get hacked on a daily/weekly basis...

Somehow your 5-10 dollars a month are going to provide you better security than the DoD, AT&T, Comcast, Citibank, Bank of America, Norton, Apple, etc., etc.

$5-$10 a month? Where do you live that they charge that much for Xbox Live? Oh that's right, its the Indy logic that most people pay for Xbox Live monthly. Gotcha.

I'll give you the $5 a month if you are stupid enough to pay the full $60 for a year, but somehow I think most people are only paying $40...since its pretty much always on sale on the dashboard for $40.

That has almost nothing to do with it.

I pay 99$ a year for 4 gold accounts. (Family package)

I think msft knows a little bit more about online security than a bank.

I paid less than $30 per year for my live gold account.

WHY would I use any other price besides the MSRP. Oh because Amazon had it on sale for 40 bucks last week? Yeah, and what about Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Gamestop, Sears, K-Mart, Target, Toys R' Us, Fry's, etc., etc.? Or all of those, including Amazon for the other 51 weeks out of the year when it isn't on sales? Fact remains Live's price standard for individuals are 10/25/60, which averages between 5 and 10 dollars a month.

That isn't my logic, that's just fact.

Have you even used Internet Explorer?

Yeah, and again: The DoD, Lockheed Martin, DARPA, AT&T, Apple etc., etc.

FYI, MS' has been hacked several times in the past.

MS knows about as much about online security as a bank it seems.

Haha, okay.

Is this why I have to keep constantly downloading patches to fix the latest exploit found in their software?

Your fact/logic is flawed. For one account $5 would be the maximum, if you paid the full MSRP of $59.99. Last I checked, 60/12 = $5. Where does this mythical more than $5 come into account? People that have multiple accounts? That wasn't in your original statement. Using your logic a ps3 costs $300-$600

I would also say I agree with counting the $60 except for the fact that it is ON THE DASHBOARD constantly. No running out to a store. No finding the special sale on amazon.com. It's right there on your screen when you turn your 360 on. Upgrade to Gold for $40.

I guess everyone can serve me a nice plate of crow then, when Xbox Live is brought down by the hackers. I don't know why everyone is mentioning banks and the likes. I was talking about Live versus The PSN. Not websites.
