I really wanted a ps3 over a 360, but I wonder if the extra hundred bucks will give the same kind of online play.

Depends on the game. Resistance has great online play. ( I have comcast internet) While others like the darkness have horrible lag. I have never had any serious lag issues with LIVE. However you do pay for it. But what live has is a massive collection of demos and multimedia content. I hope the PSN will become significantly more stable by November, with the release of HOME.

The online on the 360 and PS3 are pretty much the same once you get into a game no one lags more then the other, and THE DARKNESS is laggy on the 360 too (not sure why) it is like that for both versions.

the online play is great. no lag or probblems so far. I have a 360 as well and the ps3 online play is just as good. I gave up on xbox live as I can do online play on the ps3 for free. It is a great service.

All the demos on Live can be downloaded subscription free, the subscription is what allows for people to play online, the marketplace can be visited by people with silver accounts. As far as in game online though PSN offers games with dedicated servers making what is in my opinionbetter online play. I compare my experience on the PSN with my experience with Halo 2, is Halo 2 still the pinnacle of Live online play?

very good service. free = good!

i'm in australia, and the first time i played resistance i stumbled into a US server, and somehow it was playable. i really didn't notice any lag. Since then i've played in AUS servers and its fault less, good fun. In Motorstorm i have experienced a little bit of lag, the cars tend to skip around a little bit, but since the game is really more about racing than it is smashing your oponents then it doesn't have negative implications.

the PS store is great, downloads are fast and being able to queue up downloads and run them in the background while playing games is a great feature. Very much looking forward to Home and Littlebigplanet for their community/online potential.

It's really good Resistance is great and Warhawk is coming out in 8 days and that is a fully multi player feast, so don't worry PS3 has great online and the best part is it's free.
