There are plenty of single players you can play on all the systems without worrying about online. If there for multiplayer games obviously, and playing the same people in your area can get old. AI gets old, cause it doesn't advance and get better, and in most Multiplayer games AI sucks compared to what players are capable of. With the massive amounts of single player games, theres hardly any forcing.

PS3's patch's how ever is a bit of a problem, not that Microsoft did any better. But really its not a big deal. I love the Idea of online gaming, its just I myself don't have many desires to play multiplayers, except a few games.
