PS3 vs. 360 online comparison

So I have both a PS3 and a 360, both hooked up to the same router, and I have 10mbps internet. Recently my 360 gave me the RROD for the third time, so back for repair it goes. Off topic, my 360 has died 3 times in 18 months, and my PS3 has died twice in 12 months, so to me, they both break down about the same.

Back to my topic, because I am without my 360, which is what I have COD WaW on, and it is the game I play the most, I rented COD WaW on my blockbuster pass for the PS3 to play until my 360 gets repaired or replaced.

Now after playing COD WaW on the 360 since it was released, and now playing it on the PS3, I have noticed online with the PS3 is really bad compared to the 360 online.

With the 360 online, I maybe have lag issues or games dropping because it says no acceptable host found about once every couple weeks, so very rarly. However, on the PS3, COD WaW cannot keep a decent connection ever. On the PS3, the online games are almost always laggy, and at least a half dozen times an hour, the game lobbies close due to no acceptable host.

There is really no comparison for COD WaW online between the 360 and PS3 as the PS3 version online is almost un-playable.

This got me wondering what other games on both the 360 and PS3 are like this. Since I am without my 360 for a couple weeks, I rented some other games I have on the 360 for the PS3, such as GTA IV, COD Modern Warfare, and Fracture to name few.

What I have experienced with the PS3 is, online is really bad compared to the 360.

I actually find this kind of odd because the PS3 does fine with Socom and Warhawk, but those both run off Sony servers, so I guess that makes a differnce.

Anyway, if it is a third party game, I will stay away from it on the PS3 becasue chances are the online portion will be almost worthless. First party Sony games seem to work perfect, but for all other games, I gotta go with the 360 for the best online gaming.

I wanted to see if anyone has played the same game on a 360 and a PS3 and see if anyone else has noticed the same thing, or if its maybe just me.

not to mention cross game chat, cross game invites, standard headsets bundled with 360, custom soundtracks............

This wont go over well. System Wars is at least 60% cows. Truth hurts but they dont want to hear that the competition has a better feature then theirs.

Honestly, I lag or drop out a match maybe...once every 2 days on CoD4 on PSN. I think that's very acceptable don't you?

+, all I'm gonna be playing till CoD:MW2 is Killzone 2, which has dedicated servers, which means ZERO lag. How's ZERO lag vs some lag, and the ZERO lag is free?

We don't even pay for PSN, yet Sony still puts out dedicated servers for it's first party games. How come Microsoft can't do this for their games when their customers are even paying just to play vs other people? Doesn't that sound ridiculous to you? Couple this with the high failure rate, I just don't see Microsoft as a respectable company. They don't seem to care about quality, just about sales.

I don't think anyone can say PSN is better the X-Box Live because it's simply not true but to some like myself it's not worth $50.Flamestos

You know I do admit that I wish PSN had the instent invite and Party chat,but to be honest thats all that makes XBL "better". At the end of the day I jsut want to play my games online with the PSN I can do that for free. I find it silly I have to pay extra to play online after I just bought a 60 doller game. XBL has some nice features,but not 50 bucks worth.

Yea thats really the only features I want form PSN.

cmon, XBL is faster and has more features...but psn is free, and im totally ok with itMr_Apple_Soup

XBL is worth every penny of the $30/yr I pay. :) Yes, it's easy to find the $30/yr deal since both Amazon and Best Buy runs those specials every once in a while (like 2x or 3x a year).

PSN is fine and it works, but XBL is just much more streamlined. More people on XBL use their mics. The Party System on XBL is amazing and makes jumping from game to game with friends (without ever being disconnected) so easy. I also love having Custom Soundtracks for every game I play online.

Oh and I forgot about Netflix on XBL. Awesome service as well. I use it at least 4x a week.

Ive never noticed a difference in online (cable) with exception of some guy from Europe or Asia trying to host a game.

Do people honestly believe that Live is some sort of separate "net" from the rest of the Internet?

If anything, Live might have different local host preference settings then PSN but there is no magic juice being funneled into your Internet connection.

You guys don't like the Party System?

I use it all the time on XBL. Makes going from game to game together seamless. :)

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] Pretty much. I'd say XBL had a fair amount of important advantages when the PS3 first launched, but they have nearly all gradually been nullified. Once PSN gets cross game voice chat/invites, that's Live's last major advantage down the toilet. But hopefully it'll push MS to bring more improvements to the service.LosDaddie

I guess it must hurt lemmings really bad when they find out that there pay online is worse than PCs free online.

Because if you have lag, it is your fault. It's your own internet connection.

I'm curious how you see it as my fault my PS3 has lag on some games. My 360 and my PS3 sit right next to eachother, and they are both ethernet wired into the same router. They are both on the same thing the same way.

So your saying if both systems are ethernet wired into the same router, and the 360 has less lag, the PS3 has more lag, its the internet connection? Not sure how that makes sense.

You get what you pay for.one_on_one

That makes alot off sense, the PS3 costs $400 out of box and the XBOX 360 costs $200 out of the box. So the PS3 is obviously 2X better.

Well that is wicked cool. So live has 1 better feature than PSN ill give them that.djsifer01

One better feature? Have you tried XBOX Live? I'm sorry, but as an owner of both consoles there's no question XBOX Live much better than PSN. I like the fact that it's free, but you can't escape the fact that XBOX Live is better. You'd be lying to yourself otherwise.

I've played plenty of games on my PS3 that I have on my 360 due to my GF's brother having the titles I own on the XBOX 360, on his PS3. Call of duty 4, GTA IV, And a few others are so much better on XBOX Live it's not even funny. There's alot more features as well, but i rather not argue with a bunch of biast PS3 fans.

Like I said, I like the fact that it is free, but you can't escape the fact that XBOX Live is better.

Oh and I forgot about Netflix on XBL. Awesome service as well. I use it at least 4x a week.

i rarly have time to even beat a game i buy let alone play online for hours so i dont pay for live now psn is free so i dont have to worry about renewing nad i play whenever i feel like. no in terms of content live has just crummy old games and movies i alrready have a bunch of those. free online =:D main reason im prob getting re5 and sf4 for ps3 even though the 360 version of re5 has very, very very slightly better textures
