Did the playstation 3's service suffer problems during the christmas season just like xbox live did? I'm just asking because I paid money for 360's live and it went down when I needed it most. Whereas, for you guys its free.

No problems at all I own both the 360 and Ps3 and would say that the games ive played on PSN online are lag free. Just wish that the XMB in game access was availible soon in the next update and the Playstation store cards was released soon then it would be great.

no problems, but even so. Xbox live still dominates the PSN in all catergories. Im not a fanboy. I have both systems and I want PSN to get better. It needs a better community feel, and almost no one voice chats in the games so that basically throughs the social aspect out the window. Maybe Home will change this...

Im not blaming PSN. Im just saying I rather go on live where people talk instead of sitting on PSN with dead silence. I even said I hope it gets better.

I haven't had problems, but the PSN is nowhere near as good as XBL. I'd rather have paid for a better service.

Everyone keeps complaining about people not using a mic on PSN... I couldn't be happier about it. I hate listening to little punks on xbox live who aren't old enough to beplaying M rated games, but they've duped their parents into letting them buy Gears of War or w/e. Saves me the trouble of not having to mute anyone.

Ive had my Playstation 3 since November 17, 2006. I have only once not been able to log on to the PSN. ONCE. all the other times it works great, no lag or anything. UT3 has quite a bit of lag, but thats the game, not the playstation network. I had a 360 for a week and i got red ringed on the 8th day :/

i have had no problems with it at all. when i had live i always ran into problems. i prefer my free PSN over live that you have to pay for. i like the interface and navigation more as well. a better deal in my opinion.

Going fine minus the CoD4 servers :( + you don't those annoying lil kids like in Halo (not trying to flame.) But whenever I'm playing at a friend's house you'll have like 7 year olds swearing over the headset.

no its not. the reason why live got messed up was because so many people were playing at once, that the system crashed down. mostly because of COD4 and Halo 3. And i think live is better than PSN; more features

Sucks for you all then. I've had my Xbox 360 since December 22, 2005 and I haven't had one single problem.But I like both online services a lot. It's just that PSN is a little newer, give it time and it will get a lot better. I can't wait for Home!8)

Yesterday I couldn't sign into the PSN for around 20 min, which was frustrating since I had a friend over and we wanted to play online. We had to play Co-Op until I could get on again.

ok everybody. i have an input. i believe that the live is wayy better than the ps3 online. i own both systems so dont try and call me a fanboy. the thing is, you get what you pay for. obviously live will be better because u have to pay 60$ to get it. ps3 online is free therfore inferior to the live at the moment. i do think overtime the psn will get better, but at this moment live owns it and i dont care who thinks otherwise. i do have both systems and if you wanna try adding me on ps3 its charomid

This problem has happened to me quite a few times. It's cool that PSN is free and comertial free, but I really wouldn't mind at all paying for some more solid service, and more of a comunity feel.

If it did suffer problems, I'd be tolerate because it's free. Lucky for me, it didn't. COD4 has problems but that's it. PSN is the best free service out.

No its not better, the only thing that is better is that fact that its free. And the reason why PSN did not suffer the same mess that XBL got is because there are like 1/4 the people on PSN that live has, and live is peer to peer where PSN has lots of dedicated servers. Still the events that happened with XBL should not have happened and I dont think the number of people joing live and playing games and whatnot is an excuse, they should of been ready.

Can I go online and play games online with PSN? Yes. Can I download the latest demos and not have to wait a week? Yes. Can I buy classic games? Yes.

Does it have the bells and whistles? No. Does it have the classic arcades games like Moonwalker and TMNT? No.

Is that worth 50 dollars a year? Very subjective. I say no. But to each their own. Factor in everything the PS3 gives you, all the features it does, all the exclusives and inhouse games coming, and I think I can overlook PSN being generic.

i have no problem with PSN, but cmon everyone has to agree PSN has alot to work on, I understand it is free un live lives 7.99 a month or 4 bucks monthly for a year. but we need in game chatting, IN GAME MESSAGING, voice messages, picture messages, and thats about all i can think of, hopefully sony will fix these problems.

Well, with the extra you payed for the PS3 over the 360 you could have payed for 2-3 years of live?
