PSN+ = free games and discounts
what do you get for XBL? you get what PSN was giving for free
This topic is locked from further discussion.
only thing I like about Live that I cared for that isn't on PSN (the free one, not sure about PSN+) was party chat and cross game chat.
XBL gives out discounts every week :?lawlessxPSN gives discounts as well. The ps+ discounts are in addition to regular psn sales.
[QUOTE="MrFamBoyLOL"]Xbox live is still better. Cross-Chat & way more accessible. Yes you get free games on the PSN+ but you have to subscribe again next year to keep the games.sillariscrosschat is a fad and XBL will confuse someone trying to navigate it. on PS3 its simple I'm guessing you haven't used the NXE XBL features yet, or have never played an 360, because the ps3 is definitely the more confusing of the two. ( I own both, so don't try to contradict me, i know my s***)
PSN+ is better simply because it's meant for gamers not socialites like Xbox live.

There is so much fail in that statement i dont even know were to begin. Yeah me talking to my GAMING freinds while I am playing Halo while they are playing Geras of war 2 makes us socialites and thats a bad thing?? So basically apps like teamspeak and ventrillo which are like XBL cross game chat (and have been out for longer) that are meant for gamers to converse/have a private voice chat room with freinds while playing different games or same game is bad. I feel sorry that you don't have freind to talk to online, o wait no i don't.
[QUOTE="genaroll"][QUOTE="Nonstop-Madness"]XBL = robust community features and content and discounts PSN + = Content and Discounts There both aimed towards different things. blackgamer1213I fixed it for you. What does the discount matter when you have to pay JUST to play online? XBL is mandatory PSN+ is optional. Yea I know you don't have to get a gold account, but c'mon 360 is worthless w/o live.
Yeah that is why I played my xbox and my games from 2005 to 2007 without getting live until Halo 3 came out, yeah the console was useless, while I was enjoying Bioshock, Playing coop at a freinds house in Gears of war and lanning Halo 2 at LAN parties. You are so right sir a completely worthless console, so by your logic PS2 and gamecube were worthless right.

Maybe in your eyes. Your saying that every console that doesn't have online is worthless?

Ventrillo and Team speak are meant for game communication to talk about game strategy and planning, not troll and be a dbag a la XBL.What does the discount matter when you have to pay JUST to play online?

Halo 2 is on xbox , so what the hell does that have to do with Xbox 360? PS2 and gamecube didn't put emphasis on online gaming and restricted features of the console because they didn't pay for online.What does the discount matter when you have to pay JUST to play online?

Oh no I said the 360 is worthless w/o xbox live it's like a sandwich with nothing in between the bread. 360 is designed around xbox live therefore if you don't pay for it you have a limited experience on XBOX 360.[QUOTE="Sniping_Crowbar"][QUOTE="blackgamer1213"]

Ventrillo and Team speak are meant for game communication to talk about game strategy and planning, not troll and be a dbag a la XBL. You really expect people to believe that everyone on PSN communicates about the game ONLY and no trolling and everyone on XBL is dbag? MOOOOO!@93soccerI'm not saying PSN is without trolls and douchebags what I am saying is that for the most part PSN gamers are more mature and there are less kids on PSN.
XBL gives out discounts every week :?lawlessxoh please, their usually crap games or their so old and not selling anymore that its the only way to make them sell. PSN gives you much more vaule. Sadly we still dont have dedicated servers :/
You can find a deal on anything if you look around enough. MSRP is $50/yr. Also Playstation+ cards are coming to retailers. In the meantime $49.99 gives you 15 months of Playstation+. Which equals $39.99 for the year.xboxlive is 39.99 people!

Erm....why would people in a cross game party/private chat be trolling each other?

In other words, it's a promotional price... Just like getting a $49.99 1 year Gold card on sale for $39.99 is a promotional price. They are both MSRP $49.99/year.Xbox LIVE is $40 at Amazon w/ free shipping. Just sayin' ;)-RocBoys9489-
Just bought a 12 month subscribition from Dell for $29.99 with free shipping. The cows claim it costs $50 a year when anyone with half a brain knows this isn't true. It can cost UP TO $50 but people who are smart spend much less.
As far as this joke thing Sony has come up with it is just that, a big joke. Until PSN+ has the same features as Xbox Live currently has it will always be inferior. While cows focusing on the rental aspect and call it "free" I am more considered with things that actually matter and as of now PSN+ isn't even in the same league as Xbox Live. Until then, the MCD will have to beat their chests and start fifty threads a day to make themselves feel better but at the end of the day, you are renting games and giving Sony money to recoup the costs of the leech known as the PS3.

Yeah, that doesn't change Lives price being $50 though.

More than half the people who bought a console this generation do not game online. True story.

@93soccerI'm not saying PSN is without trolls and douchebags what I am saying is that for the most part PSN gamers are more mature and there are less kids on PSN.

Not true at all ...
There's more users on XBL but the percentages would be very similar.

PC online for free. You get more than PSN+ AND Xbox Live combined for free.PSN+ = free games and discounts
what do you get for XBL? you get what PSN was giving for free

Exactly. PSN+ is just full of old games. And they give a list and make you choose from that.

Or the two minis EU PS+ subscribers got this month, Age of Zombies (so bad it should be criminal) and Fieldrunners (meh).
The two good things i've gotten out of PS+ so far are LBP and Wipeout HD, and a KZ2 pack, then two free dynamic themes and Destruction Derby for the PSP/PS3.
I havnt touched the two EU game trials yet as they really dont interest me.
So its been a pretty good month for PS+ besides the 2 meh minis. Next month isnt looking great though ... :(
Link to next months (EU) if anyones interested.
Nooo. There are probably the same/more kids on PSN, you just cant tell because every console doesn't include a mic@93soccerI'm not saying PSN is without trolls and douchebags what I am saying is that for the most part PSN gamers are more mature and there are less kids on PSN.

If you show Sony that you're willing to pay for online, then eventually, they'll make you pay for it. I read that MS cut $1.2 billion from LIVE in 2009. Don't think Sony doesn't want a piece of that pie.
I felt LIVE was really worth it up 'til last year, but now that PSN has really caught up in quality, I just wish I didn't have to pay for something Sony and Nintendo offer for free.
Oh well, I bought a $20 LIVE card at Walmart(the one that's not in a package), redeemed it, and bam 12-months. So I'm set through the year for $20, and I got good deals on the previous cards I bought, so I only paid $100 for 3yrs of LIVE. No regrets.

Getting something on sale doesn't change it's MSRP.Also, PS+ doesn't have the same features as Live Gold, because PSN already has those for free, except for the oh-so-godly cross-game chat.
