Let's just see which online network you prefer!! I can't say much on the PSN but I will have to say the XBL is better (although expensive) it has a great gaming community!

What do YOU Think?

PSN because online games are usually lag-free and have many more players in a single game (up to 60 as opposed to the usual 16 player limit on xbl).

XBL is obviously better. The industry bigwigs would agree. PSN is good for free, but not good enough to compete with the superior XBL.

xbox live is cool, but i actually liked it better before the avatar update. i dont like the new slides either cuz i got around easier and faster with the old version of live. ima have to pick psn on this one for lots of reasons. i find it easier and faster to get around psn, its free, and i like the browser. there is more variety in xbox live arcade titles, but psn has its good share... there r less annoying fanboys and much much much less ranting little boys screaming and yelling on psn compared to live (omg halo 3 nuff said)! just my thoughts and opinion

PSN, it's free and it has the potential to be like or surpass XBL feature-wise...hopefully.

XBL is better. But I have a feeling PSN will win, mostly because it seems the Cows graze on System Wars waiting for the next poll.

to be honest i like the PSN. Its easier to navigate, popular games people tend to have many users use their mics, majority of games are lag free, and of course...because its free. in-game private chat would be nice tho sony :)

XBL motivates me to take playing online seriously like I was in a competition but sometimes I don't feel like playing or I have to leave the game early for whatever reason and I like doing that on PSN because there's really no consequence and I don't really do that over XBL.

Well, i prefer PSN becuase it loads much faster and imo is better built, but xbl has more content and community interaction at the moment in which PSN could end up building up to.

It is fully unified. Which allows for a much more streamlined experience. All you pay for with XBL is online gaming and early demos.

Considering how light my console online experiances go, I could never justify paying for an online service, I've said it before in a more detailed post, but I basically might do a couple hours a week of like Street Fighter or something, I don't care for leader boards, matchmaking and all that, I win some I lose some, so PSN service is good enough.

XBL doesn't use servers, i thought it was ptp. If they do have servers, they are no where near the greatest of sony's (lag-free 60 man online R2)

This thread is proof that cows outnumber 360 fans.

whoever votes for psn obviously is against the 360, haha. Alternating between PSN and Live is almost a night and day difference imo.

LOL what? XBL doesn't have servers, it uses the Xbox360 your playing on as a p2p server for your game... which uses more bandwidth then a direct connection to a server... and is more likey to suffer lag because of host connection problems. Gears of War II was laggy when it was released right...

It's the headsets isn't it. They make it more compelling. Sony should have included one in the box.

Not from my experiences, with my roommates xbox360. The 360 has some great features that I wish Sony would take note of and add in an update, but at the root they are the same. XBL has more to show off, but they both offer good stable full featured online play... and one is free.

PSN because online games are usually lag-free and have many more players in a single game (up to 60 as opposed to the usual 16 player limit on xbl).Panther501

Live has more large scaled multiplayer games than PSN.

PSN:

Resistance 1/2

Warhawk

Live:

battlefield modern combat

Frontlines

Phantasy star

Final Fantasy XI

PDZ

EDIT: it also has more games with dedicated servers than PSN.

You missed FFXI for the PS2(it's still the PSN) and Socom confrontation.Thats five games each so your"it also has more games with dedicated servers than PSN." point is moot.

PSN. Its free, its community is more than screaming, cursing preteens. The community plays more varied games. The actual online play is the same as XBL's in terms of how smooth/lag free it is. And most importantly for me more privacy. I dont like people to know my business (ie. in Oblivion you can see players Levels, health, mana, etc. and in adventure games they can see exactly where you are, and dont even get me started on the avatars).

I've experienced both. The only great thing about PSN is that it is free. You are fool to believe that PSN is better than Xbox LIVE. Live has sooo much more to offer than PSN. Party chat, Cross-game invites on-the-fly, hella better community, etc. Those are the main things that makes it better for me (IMO). This is system wars and I don't expect you to agree with me, and frankly I don't care if you don't. 8)

PSN. It's free. That is reason enough. I have never experienced lag on any game for on PSN. I have played with lag countless times on Live. The online store does not steal your money. And it is, well, down right easier to use. The new dashboard system for the xbox was just god-awful. The are a bad idea done worse. It's just hard to use. I couldn't find the "play game" button the first time I used it for a few minutes. But hten, this is my opinion of it. And I guess that counts for nothing. But aside from that, you can actually use the internet with the PSN. I mean like actually use the INTERNET. If I wanted, I could make this post with my PS3. And like I said before, you pay nothing for it.

That community thing is purly opinion buddy. I agree party chat and cross game invite is cool,but not 50 bucks cool. Sorry when it comes down to me either getting a new game or xbl you better believe I choose the game.

i'd say for pure online gaming, PSN is better, mostly cuz its free and i dont really need all those extra features and the price that XBL offers. plus, for the more popular games on PSN everyone has a mike, so i can hear how badly they're getting owned!

XBL handle it's updates better, I like the voice chat and demos don't take more than an hour on fiber connection,

PSN is free. They both have their pros and cons.
