That's kind of what I mean - is it worth playing online?
It depends on your personal preference mate, as well as the game itself and it's online mode. Everyone will tell you how great Call of Duty is online, but if you want a real man's shooting game get Battlefield 3 (when it comes out
) and play that one online, it'll be awesome, trust me
If you like playing competitively, or you find the single player of a game too easy, or want to play with some people socially, like off the forum for instance, then you'll want to sign up at some point.
Oh and as bigv says, depending on the game, when you start playing online it's pretty likely you'll get twatted till you get better. There's a lot of guys out there that don't do much but play online all damn day.
I just remembered one more point, and that is that you might have to sign up to the Network to update your games.. I'm not 100% on this one because to be honest I don't play my PS3 online at the moment as I don't have any games I want to play online, and so I haven't bothered doing any system updates or game updates. Someone else may be able to confirm this.
