I have all three consoles. I love my PS3 but the only thing I hate about it is PSN. I feel like the only reason Xbox sells so well is because XBL is better than Sonys PSN. Why don't they let you connect to friends easier, like xbox live partys or private chat. I have to use my cell phone to text or call my buddy so we can talk while gaming. I have even used skype to fix that problem. If I plan to play a game online and it's available for both Xbox 360 or PS3 i will always buy it on xbox just because the online is so much better. What gives with Sony not updating there online. Anyone else feel this way.

I've have not tried PSN yet, untill Friday. But you really can't complain because it's free. Are you able to connect with friends playing the same game? If so, that's all I really care about. Seeing that I really don't have many gaming friends, probably cause I'm 30:D. I never really used the party feature, and I never really was interested in talking to people playing different games, but then again I never knew any of them personaly

I have to say that Xbox Live is reallynice and easy to use. But I'm not gonna be able to compare them till Friday.

PSN is perfect as far as my experience goes, easy to use, great with online play and I don't have to pay a dime. The service is only gonna improve over time.

I understand that it's free. I love that about it. I love that fact that I can still play online. I just want to be able to connect with friends easily. I want to be able to chat with a friend no matter what game they are playing with out a hitch. PSN works but I could be so much better. If they fixed it. The PS3 would be a hands down winner in the so called console war.

I like to talk to friends over a beer instead of online via video game chat.

So everyone is ok with a service that isn't great just because it's free. It works but it doesn't work as good as it's competition.

I've never had problems with it. I've had more problems with Xbox Live than I have had with the PSN.

I think it is worth 50 dollars a year. You guys act like sony doesn't have the tech to make it happen for free.
