Should I buy a PS3 for the online?

Okay im interested in buying a PS3 slim 120gb because lately I have found that im tired with M$ ripping me off and I wish to play online without having troublesome occurence of having to renew my live, How is the online multiplayer for the PS3 is it very active? And are the games enjoyable to play online? Thanks

PSN is super active!

I don't think it's a good idea, no

PSN is super active!

It's true! Haha, seriously though, PSN is NOWHERE NEAR as "inferior" as people like to make it out to be. The community's active, although not presented as tight-knit as Live. Playing online works just as well and just the same. The main differences you might notice are less people with mics (depending on what games you're playing) and the current lack of Cross Game Voice Chat, which is rumored to be added in an upcoming firmware update.

It all depends on the game you're playing. The PSN itself has less features than XBOX Live. And considering there's more XBOX360 owner than PS3's, XBOX Live is bound to be more populated.

All that being said, of all the games I've played online, I've only had real, annoying lag with Punisher: No Mercy (PSN title). And I personally don't give a damn about what XBOX Live as more than the PSN.

It costs me zilch to play online and the PSN has many good to great titles. That's all I care about.

Yeah it's great. Works perfectly fine, plenty of people. And you can't beat free.

Well i find its Very good,especially being free,I've got a LIVE account too,so i know how they compare and PSN is so much less bother to join and play online.
