360's online play is exactly like the Wii's...

Are you serious? How do you coordinate in team-based games? Or socialize with friends that you're playing with?

Wii Speak.

And I'd rather not have voice chat because really, who wants to listen to some eleven year old screaming?

Teufelhuhn

yeah its not really a positive feature imo.

you buy a ps3 or a 360

Well for the PC there are those things called keyboards for games requiring strategy, consoles don't have to worry because not much strategy (regarding teamwork) is required in those. And when I play games with friends its either split screen or lan party.

I used to use vent a lot, it took me about a month to realize how overrated talking to people online is. Can't stand it.

No voice chat

Friend Codes

XBL has private chat, voice/text msg, party chat, cross game chat, cross game invites.

Come on, does this even need to be said?

when your actually playing a game, theres not going to be that much difference EVER, there will always be a slight delay do to dinstance, every shooter i've ever played you have to have a slight lead on a moving target, but xbox live has a lot more under the hood. i've never used a wii so i'll just compare my experience with psn. All voice chat is built in through live, cross game, same game, out of game, all of it, part of live, so theres a consistent quality through games vs psn where people sound robotic in cod and in other games they sound fine. Matchmaking is also built in, so with truelive skill dev's have the option to just have a ranked list at there fingertips without using much code to add it, connections are better on 360, when i say connections i don't mean while connected just the act of connecting, people drop its easier to switch hosts, or just get connected, i've hit points with my ps3 when i had a lot of traffic on my network or i was at school, the ability to get into a game dropped significanlty where my 360 really came through shining, not that it was perfect, but the 8/10 attempts at joining a game were successfull, where on my ps3, 2/10 were successfull. I'd say 360's netcode is probably the most efficient with dedicated servers for chat and matchmaking, make it worth the extra fee, its not very noticable in game though...

and considering the demographic for 360/ps3, people need to stop talking about 11 yo's when the majority of people you play with are not, and every now and then listening to a kid cry online is f'ing awesome,

Dont know what games your playing but it always feels a little creepy to be the only adult on the map when playing halo 3. They might not be 11 year olds but way to many kids whining about geometry homework and parents. I just don't wanna hear that stuff.

It certainly isn't the actual gameplay that people boast about when hyping Live... it's the integration and non gaming functions. Gameplay and lag are the same.

edit: on something slightly related, it might have alot to do with rank and play list, i've been playing team slayer with the rank of 25 ish, i think the undesirable team mates have been weeded out by then.

So stopping whatever you're doing for 10-15 seconds to type out a message is somehow superior to just saying it?

15 seconds? Are you talking strategy or are you writing the preamble to the constitution?

All I got out of the 1st paragraph was.....

Sometimes a Ferrari drives at 30mph, and sometimes a Pontiac Sunfire drives at 30mph, therefore they are exactly the same.

I love you.... I want your babies.....

But seriously, this dude hit the nail on the head.

[QUOTE="shoryuken_"]

the kind of lag that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has.
