Live dying...

Is Live dying?  Hell no, that's a stupid question, sorry.  I needed a title and the coffee isn't ready yet so my brain isn't moving at full speed.  Live is a throbbing, pulsating...well, you get the idea.  Whatever you're mind completes that thought with it won't be something dead but rather alive and kicking because Live is going strong and continues to evolve.  My question is does that evolution involve a change in price?

This is really a continuation of my post below from yesterday.  I started a forum thread about this yesterday that you can check out.  The consensus so far seems to be that there is no way Sony is going to beat M$ in the online arena this time around.  Again, I agree with that statement but that's not what I'm trying to get at.  I believe that if Sony can provide a solid online gaming experience it will force M$ into a corner on their pricing structure.  Consumers are going to wonder why they are paying to play online for one but not the other for the same thing.

Sony doesn't have to beat M$ online.  They just have to tie them to cause problems.

Sony won't provide it for free I think. And even if they provide the service, they will leave it up to the developers to make content for it. Which is why hardly anyone plays online with a PS2...not enough support. MS allready has a good head start and a couple million people sitting happily on the MS team. Sony has alot to conquer...and they are making too many mistakes before they even get out on the field.
