I need some answers for some specific PSN questions, and no, google didn't help!

Well, I'm pretty much going to buy a PS3 in the coming months, or maybe for Xmas because some games like LBP are way too good to let up and all I have at the moment is a Wii. It's sad, but that's my financial situation. I finally got me some money but I might just wait for Xmas and get a PS3.

I just wanted to know some things, specifically about the PSN.

First, how many games actually support Voice and is it friends only or can anyone talk to anyone?

How often do demos come to the PS Store and how many games do have demos? How similar is it to the frequency and quantity to the demos on the 360? Do downloadable games have demos too?

How reliable is online play? Any severe lags? How laggy is it compared to the 360s online?

Are most games online enabled?

Do Background downloads work when the PS3 is in standby (or off)? Can you see your downloads status off your PSP via remote play?

How is support for the trophies going thus far?

I'm really hoping someone here is nice enough to answer these questions because I really want to know these things and google or any other search engine just isn't gonna cut it for such specific little questions.

Thanks for your help. I hope I can join all of you soon on the PSN.

I can say that so far Trophies are for Pixel Junk Eden and Uncharted if there is for anymore games so far not so sure about that.

How is online play?
For me it's pretty much lag free and considering that it's free that's pretty awesome if you ask me.

Not so sure about the PSP remote play feature.

I would say that most games you would want to have online in them do have it as a feature.

and Just about any game that's got online you can also chat with people in it friends or not (considering of course you have a bluetooth micerophone)

A lot of them, anyone.

Every Thursday.

How reliable is online play? Any severe lags? How laggy is it compared to the 360s online?

Not laggy.

Are most games online enabled?

Yes.

Do Background downloads work when the PS3 is in standby (or off)? Can you see your downloads status off your PSP via remote play?

No. Yes.

How is support for the trophies going thus far?

Pretty bad actually.

Sounds to me like you cant decide between the ps3 or the 360. Either way the playstation network is much better than the wii online imo. as far as games supporting "voice" if you mean talkin thru i mic online then i believe most games have that, at least the ones i have and you can talk to your friends or if ur in an say COD4 deathmatch you can talk to all players. Demos appear on the PSN store every thursday and downloadable games do get demos

I really havent expirienced much lag on any online games, there are your rare bugs here and there but nothing really worth complaining about.

yes most games are online enabled. NO you cant download when the system is off but you can set it up so that the system turns off when its done downloading.

And the trophie support is gettin the attention it deserves little by little... with more devs goin back to games and creating trophie support for em ie warhawk, pain, uncharted etc. Hope this helped

Every game that 360 supports voice chat in, ps3 does.

Demos, thursday, never usually a day beind the 360 version of the demo.

Compared to the 360, no lag at all. Dedicated servers FTW!

yes, most games are online enabled. As your comparing with a 360, every 360 game that supports online, the PS3 version does.

Downloads in standby do not work. PSP support is amazing.

Trophy support at this momnet is small. Games which are in development now will start to see trophies. We will see a a new wave of trophy support in 3rd gen PS3 games.

my final note is, PSN>XBL. Yes, the PSN is worse than XBL feature wise but those features are pretty much unnecessary. Is it £40 worth of goodness? The answer is no. Go with a ps3.

A demo continued downloading for me once when I had the PS3 in standby.rockguy92

huh? So what is it then? does it continue or not?

Not sure. I tried it another time, and it didn't work.

No. It just stops the download and starts it up again when you turn it back on.
