[quote name='S0DA POPINSKI']What does PS3 online being free have to do with anything? // Also achievements / cross-game invites / universal friends list all active on all XBL games. But I think we already know that.[/quote]
Definition of Free:
1. Not imprisoned or enslaved; being at liberty.
2. Not controlled by obligation or the will of another.
With the PS3 verison, if you want to play now or later, you don't have to make sure you have an active Live account to play. So if you want to play today, or next year, just pop the game in and play. No need to worry about paying for something you should get for free. This is CAG, I'd expect people to know the difference between free and having to pay, but I guess I'm wrong.
PS3 trophies are supposed to be added soon, anyone from the freinds list can be invited from a universal friends list on PS3 as well. So aside from both running perfectly (I assume the X360 runs just as good as the PS3 version), so they are probably iddentical in online except with PS3 you have the freedom to play online without paying. For someone on the fence between what version they want (PS3/X360), that may be important if they don't have a constantly active Live account or just pay a few months a year or whatever...that's how some of my friends do it...pay only when they know they'll need to play. Don't be a dick, k? People like you make coming to CAG a chore. You can be a X360 fanboy if you want, but don't bash other people's posts who are trying to help.
