People say ps3 online is lag free...

PS3 online is virtually lag free. If they don't up the servers when the user base increases, then argue the topic.

Plays 40 player matches all the time. Never had to worry about lag.

Lag is dependent on several features.sonicare

I tihnk it was 4 million ... out of 8.4 million install base... don't pull rabbits out of no where... my live expires on March 7th and then I am not renewing live... PSN is lag free and thats a pretty good deal... go ahead andpay for live... u are just paying for the demos thats all...except xbox everywhere online play is free..PS2Hawk

I have both PS3 and 360 and can't stand the online for PS3 as it is complete garbage compared to 360. Steelspike

But lets be honest is anyone really playing there system online? Sony confrimed 400 thousand users half of those are online. Mircosoft confrimed 5 MILLION UNQIE USERS. All im saying is you cant compare the lag right now.MoneyGa

People have promised for 5 years that XBL would be lag free and have no cheaters.  How did that turn out?

No cheaters is true and I rarely experience lag on XBL.

Sony has been promising PSN would be on par with XBL for years, how did that turn out?

Rarely.

Those "cheaters" are just glitchers and the new patch is addressing them. You want cheaters? Check out PC gaming.

You just don't play online enough to know what a good system is. ;)

A unified friends list is part of what makes XBL so awesome.

-Wow....friends list...who doesnt have that...Ken0690

I said a unified friends list.

-Better matchmaking?, trying to join a game on GeoW, is sometimes  pointless because sometimes it makes you join the same room in which you get the same notice "Connection to the host have failed" or something like that.Ken0690

Stop lying. Rarely do I get dropped from a GeOW match. Anyone who has played it online can back me up.

We can play GeOW tonight to see how many times we get dropped. ;)

-Better Developer support? Yea I can agree with better developer support, such as the demos that xbox live have and ps3 doesnt have as of now...

Ken0690

Good to see you aren't completely blind.

Heh, new gliches are already been made, it wont stop just like Socom, and I have to agree PC gaming have cheaters, ex. CSS, aimbots, wallhacks, speedhacks, etc, but all games have cheaters, theres isnt a game in which theres no glitches at all.
Ken0690

The "cheaters" on XBL are just people exploiting glitches. Hackers are unable to connect to XBL.

The cheaters on PC (and PS2) are using hacks and stuff like Gameshark.

There's a big difference.

Fanboy alert. I have played both to as I used to own a 360 and now I own a  PS3. It's kinda ridiculous I use to experience lag in 16 player PDZ matches and experience absolutely none in RFOM 40 player matches. Also Resistance is faster then PDZ.

As for as multi player gaming goes PSN is better only thing really missing from it is voice chat. Wish they would have went with a headset standard but whatever at least I don't have to pay for something that should be free plus I get lag less games playing RFOM.

Cow's love to wait so lets wait a year and see how the lag is going than with more games and (i think) more people on the network

"the 360 has been out a year you can't compare now" i hear that all the time

well it works both ways

This arguement fails because 360 was lagging back in Janauary of 06 when less people had the system compared to the more people that have the PS3 at the same time period now. Sorry but you fail.

Online lag does not have much to do with the system. You can have a state of the art system and still have lag. You can travel to the future bring back a soopa doopa computer and hook it up to go online to not so good servers, and suppose his IP only gives him 300k down, and 100kup he is going to experience lag, no matter how awsome his computer, or playstation is.

If the system can play the game offline with no lag, then it can easily play it online with no lag. Therefore if you experience no lag offline but lag online, it is either the serves or your IP. If others are not complaining about lag, then check with your IP. Have them to a packet loss test for several minutes. You IP might be having hiccups. If it is the sever then others on that server will also experience lag.

Sometimes if one person enteres a server and he has a lame connection like dial up or 100k then he might cause others in that server to experience lag.

it turned out pretty great actually.

better than pc gaming and better than PSN.

no online gaming will ever be lag free, but i've seen less lag and cheaters on xbox live than i've ever seen pc gaming and socom's cheating on the ps2's online was legendary...

yeah man but you can't blame that on the online service, any game can and will have glitches that anyone can take advantage of.

you don't have to make friends online, what kind of answer is that. don't you have friends already who have the PS3.

I have 71 people on my 360 friends list, 13 of them are my friends from the neigboorhood(people I actually hang with), and the rest are cool people I can play midway battlestations, rainbow six, ghost recon and other games and know that they won't be jerks and idiots.

its cool to know what games your friends are playing as they are playing them so you can join them or send them an invite to play another game. I just don't understand how anyone can't like friends list.,

PS3 online is virtually lag free. If they don't up the servers when the user base increases, then argue the topic.

Plays 40 player matches all the time. Never had to worry about lag.
