Let me sum up what I mean:

1. Buy Xbox 360
2. Pay internet bill (my Comcast bill is about $60 for Internets)
3. Buy video game (with online components)
4. Buy live subscription (which is required to use a built in part of the game you just bought)
5. Enjoy (until you need to resubscribe)

vs.

1. Buy PS3
2. Pay internet bill
3. Buy game
4. Enjoy

I may be focused too much on money here but my mommy / daddy does not pay my bills.
