Cows just admit PSN is horrible.

I bought a 40gb ps3 the day after they came out,and i also got Warhawk becuz i wanted a game online..........and it SUCKS!!!!!!

I mean the game itself is pretty cool but it gets boring after like 30 minutes of playing becuz its no one with a mic to talk to.And the thing i dont understand is,when you buy the damn game it comes with a free bluetooth headset.So why is no one talking?Everytime i join a room i ask if anyyone has a mic and i get nothing.I think i might have went into 2 rooms that 1 person had a mic.

And psn itself is just so boring and dry and lame and it sucks.I only have 2 friends on my friends list which are 2 of my friends from xbl,and we play on xbl waaaaay more than we do on psn.I mean psn is just horrible,it doesnt even have indepth friends list,like for example,when you click on one of your friends it brings up a little cheap profile,and in the profile all it has is a cheap looking gamerpic,itshows the person psn id twice,and i local and thats it.

And also the chatting and sending messages is so stupid.In order the open a message or a chat you have to stop what your doing,turn off you game and go back to your main menu,and then you have to set there the whole time your chatting,i mean the frist day i got my ps3 with warhawk,i told my friend to buy warhawk too so we could play online,and when he got it we couldnt just send each other invites and then join up,we had to spend an extra 20 minutes try to figure it out,and the whole while we was doing he kept sending me chat invites and i would have to leave the game,go chat,load it back up and then i get another chat,so i leave again and im pretty sure you guys get the idea.

You cant download themes or gamepics.Playstation store is empty,i do like how the put up demos for all the exclusive games.

So c'mon cows just admit that psn sucks really bad,just cuz its free doesnt it still doesnt compare to xbl live.I would rather pay 1$100 a yearto play on xbl than topay nothin and have to use psn.

I didn't know it was that bad. That's ridiculous. Sony is really flailing around.JiveT

So one person and the entire network is falling apart?

You can't chat or send messages while you're playing a game?

What crap is that?

Judging by PS3 sales, there isn't really a network to play with right now...

Plus you can send voice messages,only text,which means i have to spend minutes writing a message.

By the way my psn id is ShadyWindyBob

Please add my,i have no friends on psn,lol.

Is the TC lying about any of this stuff? My only experience with PSN was playing R:FOM but I didn't know anyone who had a PS3 at the time. I was impressed by how smoothly it ran with 40 people but there was no real focus to anything that was going on and a lot of campers.

so by your logic let me have a try.......

man i bought carnival for the wii and let me say....... epic fail. the wii is in trouble. first the game has NO online for me to even complain about. Second I was try to shoot ducks and i couldn't win a prize. third, much like in real life, i could not get the softball into the basket.

boy nintendo is in trouble. No online and making crappy games, how are they going to stay alive.

:roll: what you feel reading this is how i felt reading the logic in this topic, "*#*% i wasted 2min of my life and wait i feel dumber for it now too)

PSN is the best (completely lag free and free) way to PLAY onine, but it's very weak in the community aspect. The whole system is very dry and lacks a lot of important features. However, Home seems like it will do wonders for PSN, as it is the ultimate in online community (Able to hare pics, videos, invites, chatting, even buy stuff online of watch trailers together in hte lobby). Originally I wasn't sold on Home, but I'm looking forward to it now. Imagine if SW was on home, so you could play games otgether, talk about the newest trailers while watching them together, show some gamer-made game videos, etc, etc. It'd be way better than just messaging.

I hope they implement a full-out gamer profile, though, and that they make the trophies add up to some kind of total. Having a convenient number telling the world how pathetic/hardcore you are about games is a plus.

Well i guess i cant complain,should've known when i bought my ps3 that the online wasnt gonna be like xbl with loads of features and a big,crazy,fun community.MrPostman4Chi

Then sell it to someone who actually wants it

Well stop crying then.

Personally I am not interested in talking to people online while I am playing games like warhawk. A lot of the conversationsare just bile anyway.

What I do sometimes do is chat with my friend on my 360 over xbox live while we are playing the PS3. That way the 360 is doing the chatting and the PS3 can just play the game :)

One big benefit of PSN is that I don't have to listen to the 'chatting' on XBL that primarily consists of racial slurs and insults by sixteen year olds who think they're being cool. If that's what community means, I don't want it. Mute is not good enough for this, it's systemic.osirisomeomi

You cant complain because you have noone to talk to in the first place. And all this "kid talk on xbl" is just something blown out of proportion by big fat cows. Until you've experienced XBL to its fullest, dont even compare it to PSN. Its in another league

So then you haven't used it then.

Figures you would be expected to jump on any negative news for PS3, wether its the truth or a lie.

dude, just stop.. Warhawk is a great game.. just finished playing it for hours with a couple friends online.. had loads of fun and voice chat was in full effect..

beyond that, when the firmware update arrives that allows access to the XMB from within any game, all your other little meaningless gripes will be nullified aswell... and lets not even mention Home...

so at it's base, you get a unified gamertag, unified friends list, voice chat, messaging, downloads, and more.. heck, for about 90% of the people who buy gaming consoles, that's all you need.. :|.. all for free.. no subscription fees... just turn your game on and start playing online....

bottomline: PSN doesnt have to be better than XBL to be good.. especially when XBL costs an annual fee and PSN is free of charge.. the sooner you understand this, the better...

MrPostman4Chi

well, if you only bought a PS3 for MGS4, you're pretty early buddy... why didnt you just "wait" until MGS4 was released before you bought your PS3 then?.. by then, PSN would have added features that make it more comparible to XBL (including Home) and you might have lucked up and got another price drop...

i guess you just couldnt wait to get your hands on a PS3 huh.. cant blame ya.. :wink:

Yeah, that free system sure cannot compete with the one that costs you money...

Seriously. Its free. You can play online with people. It has an online marketplace that has some good content. That is really all it needs.

No, its nothing fancy like XBL, but unlike XBL, its free, and it does the basics that it needs to do.

PSN is great. While I give XBL a 9 in features and accessibility, PSN gets a 7 which is pretty damn good for something thats free. Personally, I don't see in game voice chat that big of a deal. Yeah, its cool and easy form of communication. But unless you are an avid trash talker I don't see it adding that much to the experience.Blue-Sky

I disagree. Get into a good online game with teams that work together, and the game gets that much better. When I get my group together on Halo 3, there is never a quiet moment. You call out enemy locations, strategize, trash talk a bit, and it just makes the game that much more fun.

All that it needs is in-game XMB and it'll be fine...butteater86

SpruceCaboose

my point exactly. The moment I have to pay for PSN, then this is a valid arguement and then I raise holy heck for not having the content that XBL has. Until then, I'm just fine with what's there and I think most PS3 owners are too.

[QUOTE="butteater86"]All that it needs is in-game XMB and it'll be fine...lowe0

i agree. i think if this was possible sony would of done it by now. but its looking less and less likely with every update (dam PSN updates.... dont get me started on them)

The updates bite and the download times are worse. Again, I get to play online with friends and that's all I really want to do.....for a free service anyway. IF PSN ever does get to an XBL level and remains free then it's no contest which online service is superior.

100% BS

Im on live all the time and in saying it primarily is all that is 100% BS. People keep saying it but it aint true

Sure there are people like that but that would be the same on any freaking online network. I also love how some people think its XBL for this but this is how it is when u put random people together with no face to fac anywhere. MSN, Yahoo, chat rooms, forums etc...

XBL has those people but the majority of people, myself included lash out at the morons who say racial stuff and they almost always shutup when we do so and all the talk about so many kids being annoying is dumb. Most of the younger kids arent that annoying they just have high pitch voices. There are dumb young kids sure but the amount has been grossly exagerated here

I agree and his statement is really sounding like its from someone who hasnt been involved with good use of the mic or who gets it.

It adds SO much. The teamwork and planning. For example those MLG guys talk and organize. And if u dont know the guys who dont talk and organize and shout out what they see etc.. almost always lose in team games.

Saying its only good for trash talkers is laughable dude

hey, stop complaining about psn...you get what you pay for...

sure it may have servers that dump stats and disconnect players from matches, but hey they're SERVERS....

so it MUST be better, right? :roll:

MrPostman4Chi

#1 nobody uses their headset on XBL either

#2 the fact you play games on XBL more than PSN proves nothing

#3 PSN has only been around for a year, give it 5 years like XBL and it will be amazing(it already stomps XBL in many ways)
#4 PSN store has themes you can download

#5 PSN > XBL

and I'm a lemming
