Especially when XBL is vastly superior to the PS3 online options. But whatever floats your boat.
I played FFXI for three months and have not paid for FFXIV outside of the box so far. It all comes down to how often you use it and what kind of updates you're getting out of it. In an MMO, you get buttloads of changing/updating content streaming down to you and you can play with so many people at once for ages. With XBL, I have to pay to do something I can do for free on another console. This is the part I don't like. If it's free elsewhere, why pay to do it? I mean, if I pay for Playstation Plus, I actually get a few free games on a monthly basis and discounts on others. I don't opt to pay for PS+, though. It's not of interest to me. I just want the ability to play a game on a whim on a random night of the year with my mates when I feel like it. Should that really cost me? I paid for the game already. On PC, it will not cost me. On PSN, it will not cost me. But for some reason, on XBL, it costs me. And that's why I don't play XBL games with you guys at all anymore. The cost just doesn't justify playing a game online for a few hours on a random night of the year. I mean, at the very least, they could give an allowance to play a few hours each month for free. =|

Oh, and that's all not to mention that if Danielle and I both want to play then we both have to pay. Which is stupid.
