Hello everyone, I am looking for Honest Unbiased Opinions regarding the PS3's on-line play, I am not here to Flame, start a console war/debate. I would like the honest opinions of anyone on here who both have XBOX Live and the PS3 on-line feature. Without getting into details I would like to state that my loyalty (and hard earned money) is not owned by any particular console. I have owned just about every console since getting my ATARI 2600 with a Space Invaders cartridge on a Christmas morning MANY cold winters ago.Due to recent events with my current console I am seriously considering buying a PS3. I currently subscribe to XBOX live and I absolutely Love It especially the in-game chat with the headset. After searching the Internet I have found very little information regarding the on-line play for the PS3. Could someone please who has actually played both give me a comparison because this will definitely influence my decision.Is there a headset with in game chat? Can you join random games?any information will be appreciated.

Get a 360 if you want the most fleshed out and balanced experience available today.

Get a PS3 if you like the PlayStation library of games and can wait another year or two for PSN to catch up to the 360's current online offerings and for the PS3's highlight games to finally make their way to homes.

Basically, it does what it needs to do.  YOu have one log-in, which allows you to get into an online match in any game. You're logged in immmediately when you turn on the ps3, and you have access to a web browser and an online store.

Also, PlayStation Home is coming this October which will be a big step up for the online service.  You can play games and be longed into Home simultaneously, and you can instantly enter a game from Home with your friends for an online match. You can receive trophies in games that will be displayed in your "home", and developers can have their own little spaces in home where you can go to sttream trailers from upcoming games, get wallpapers, etc. To find out more on Home, see here.

Considering its free, its pretty good. Just dont expect some of the things you can do in XBL, like instant messaging and such.

I already posted this message in the PS3 general discussion forum and I ended getting a warning from a mod. All I want is some information based on experience so I could make a decision. I apologize in advance if I have unintentionally offended any one. JUST LOOKING FOR OPINIONS
