I have regularly visited and read the forums, and would like to raise a few points that I do not see ever represented.Xbox Live Fee- I own a 360 and have been paying for live for 2 or 3 years and I agree that Peer 2 Peer on-line is not the most optimal nor should it be considered as viable as it is forever. However the advantages it brings to console gaming cannot be dismissed either. You will always be able to connect an xbox live p2p enabled game even 10 years later provided you have someone to play against.:) This is a huge advantage over PSN where a game's on-line portion can be discontinued at any time.PC and PSN games are free- Yes to you, the end user it may appear that everything about these forms of on-line play are free, however you must take into consideration the enormous costs associated with running a dedicated server. At the very least provided you already have the server hardware, the bandwidth required to run an open server to the public is expensive. This is why PSN games are discontinued. PC gamers are very lucky as there are many enthusiasts that have the means to offer free servers to the public, and for this we should all be very thank-full.Online Multiplayer Misconceptions
theres only 3 games on ps3 that actually have dedicated servers...btw i dont think it will be bad to have both dedicated servers and p2p
