Well put it this way, they could have very easily said "We'll charge you for the online service, and if you want PS+, we'll charge you for that too."
Sony could have very easily kept both services seperate and charged double, or something...At least they're giving customers something back for them having to fork out a little bit more to play online, whereas Microsoft have just completely ripped the soul out of their consumer base with all their nonsense decisions.
Having to have your console connected online at least once every 24 hours is a joke, and I don't even need to go into their policy on used games...Oh yeah, and you also need to have gold subscription if you wanna use Netflix, as well as pay the 5 quid a month on top.
Whats with all the kinect bullshit too? They're becoming as bad as Nintendo with all this gimmicky shite...The sad thing about that is, the hiked up price compared to the PS4 is probably down to the fact you have to have kinect with the bundle...Take it out and you probably save at least 50 quid, but you're doing stuff Microsofts way and thats the bottom line.
Not that I give a shit or anything, I'm more than happy with what the PS4 is offering and I don't even need to give it a second thought at to what console I'm picking up this winter.
