[QUOTE="lucas_kelly"]Microsoft gives you the choice, Sony dosent. I dont need a Blu-ray player to play good games. InfamousC
Yes they give you choices, Silver or Gold Live. I like Sony's "forced" free online better.
I rather pay for something that works well than get something free that doesn't work well. I got both the 360 and the PS3 and so far PSN is a joke compared to XBL. 50$ is a small price to pay for an excellent online service. Home is intriguing but since I haven't been into these "virtual worlds" thingy for several years I'm not sure it is something for me. What I want from PSN is simple:
* Unified friendslist over ALL games
* All games support voicechat
* The ability to see what my friends are playing and invite them to my game regardless whhat they are doing on their console (ok, except running Linux on it at the moment)
* A Playstation store that isn't running like molasses (the Euro-servers opened up yesterday and it still is slow when browsing around)
Quite simply - right now PSN is quite far behind XBL. I hope they get around to fixing these problems though since I just want a good online experience regardless which system I use.
As for the original posters which you quoted. The choice been talked about there has nothing to do with online. You cannot ignore the simple fact that MS does give the gamers the option to pay for the HD-movie support by buying the HD-DVD addon or to wait until a clear winner has been decided and then get either the add-on or a separate player. I got both the PS3 with the Blueray and the HD-DVD addon for the 360 and while I have movies for both (picked up a bunch when I was in New York a week ago) I wasn't exactly blown away by the selection for either format. IMHO DVD's still will reign for quite some time so I can understand people who are hesitant to pay extra for a HD-format before they really need it.
