PSN is alot better than Live!!!

After getting my 3rd RROD, the last one happening a month after getting it and a right after a week of not even playing it... yeah... Apparently using the 360 breaks it and aso not using the 360 breaks it.... I bought a PS3.

After playing on PSN alot lately I have to say that PSN is the superior online service.

1. Its free, with alot more free downloads, like free wallpapers etc which you would be made to pay for on Live.

2. The interface of PSN is vastly superior as it reflects a PC online server more. An example of that is that you join the server and can view every game being held and play at and you can pick and choose which one you want to play or find a specific one with a friend. Unlike on Live where its just that random P2P garbage that 90% of the time enters you into a horrible game that dc's after 5 seconds...

3. Is it just me or are there a considerably smaller amount of absolute idiots on PSN. I played many many games before playing with someone that was even remotely annoying. This could not be said about Live with im assuming from experiences that at least 40% of the userbase is people under 11 that are there just to annoy and about 20% are drunk or high but not only that but they insist on telling you that they are every 5 seconds... Oh and lets not forget about all the racist's and the people that sound like they have swallowed the mike lol on Live.

4. Servers that can host 30 vs 30 games with little to no lag on PSN!!! Those games are just fun lol.

5. Home, yes you may say its pointless but nonetheless its a cool feature that has the potential to be great!.

6. Its free!!!! Yes I said this already but its so important it needs to be said twice. I refuse to pay for live anymore because its just not worth the price.

Anyways, this is why PSN>>>Live.

Less people= less strain on servers which is good. If you look at Live online stats I bet its way too overpopulated. All I know is that ive never had trouble finding a game, even a 60 vs 60 as there are many many of those going on 24/7 and I find alot more people that actually want to play the game instead of idiots who want to get high and yell at the game... lol

Wait, you're saying the PSN has less people which equals less strain on servers but at the same time you find alot of people up to 60 vs 60 to play with which contradicts the first part about less people?

Less people than Live. I meant that even though there is alot less people most likely than there is on Live there are still many games to be played so it really makes no difference.

I agree I use to play on my friends xbox online before he got rrod and all you hear are little kids cussing at you and shooting at you even though your both in the same team I just turned the online off and played halo 3 single player.

sorry dude but you are wrong

the ability to talk with your friends while playing a totaly different game, listening to music during your games, send voice messages to your friends, playing with people who use headsets, having alot of great downloadable games, having heaps on achievments that are fun to unlock, gamer points etc make it a much better experience oh and BTW please dont mention trophies they are so boring to get and nobody even tries to get them

Cool. Hey I was wondering whats that game that lets you play 60 vs 60? That sounds awesome, I need to check it out. Let me know.

Yeah, I found myself playing more and more single player after every Live experience, But with PSN its been the opposite, the online is so welcoming and fun the way it should be. Especially in RE2, love the online there lol.

I think there are a few games that have that now, the one I have is resistance 2. Im not sure if its 60 vs 60 or if its 60 players 30 vs 30, I think its around 30 vs 30. Either way its still an incredible amount of people and those matches are very fun with the right teams lol.

30v30 or 60v60?

I agree 100%, ive never found any use for things like the cross game chat, and ive had much more fun unlocking trophies than any acheivments.

[QUOTE="TheOwnerOner"]Its freaking boring playing on PSN, no one has mics, the games are silent, no one giving orders, no one taking orders, everyone running around like you playing with bots. a welcoming feeling? LOL, more like a ghost town.jakarai

Played plenty of R2 and Metal Gear online. Complete ghost town, sole reason why i stopped playing.

Gonna try K2 but I really dont know why it would be any different.

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"][QUOTE="world69star69"] Give me a break, trophies are much better then acheivments, they look nicer, they give you a feeling of more acomplishment unlocking a bronze, silver gold, or platinum trophy, the level system is better. I already stressed why cross game chat is not nessesary. All new ps3 games have trophies mandatory. PSN has many many games... with a large lack of shovelware as most games are good. Sony uses dedicated servers, not p2p crap like on xbla. Less annoying kids, a slicker interface and fun expeirence. How can you talk the way you do? Take that lbp avatar as it's obvious you don't deserve it...lwith comments like that...lol...jakarai

PSN is the best, free wallpapers and stuff and people don't speak that much so it's quiet and peacefulFFXIII360

Its not mandatory to have to wear a head set while playing on Live, if silent is what you prefer....

and Live also has free wallpaper and stuff, you can also put your own up....

Sorry but.... Anyone voting for the PSN is just purely a fanboy. Live is better, and that's not an opinion, it's a fact

I mean i'm glad I don't have to pay for my PS3 to be able to go online, but there's no question Live is far superior. Not saying SONY isn't capable of making something better than live, but as long as it's free it will never have as much features as Live.

I enjoy the unified service more..... I can expect the same features I am found of to be in every game that I play on live...I KNOW I would enjoy R2/SOCOM and soon K2 more if PSN supported 8 way private chat like Live does....

From that point alone makes PSN a sub par service compared to Live

Over half of m y PS3 games have ZERO trophies. You sir are high on crack to say trophies are better.superkoolstud

He's high on crack because he has a preference and supports it? So does that make you high on drugs for having a preference leaning towards achievements? Come on, it's one thing to disagree with someone, but now you're just being a hypocrite.

I prefer PSN simply due to the fact that I'm not getting milked out of even more money to pay for something that should be free. Paying online fee's on top of internet fee's?

Join a clan to give/take orders.

Why would anybody give you orders if you are lone wolf and nobody know you

Meh.

Both let me play games with my fellow gamers online.

Anyway, I can't really comment, as I haven't had any experience with PSN yet. All I know is that XBL is great to use. Even more so when you have a bunch of friends to talk to and play with. I'm getting a PS3 this year, so I'll be able to see what PSN is all about.

I wish the PSN had free trials for every PSN game like how XBL has free trials for every XBLA and XNA games.one_on_one
