PSN is alot better than Live!!!

To jakarai. I don't see how unlocking a Platinum trophey is any different than getting 1000 out of 1000 achievement points in a game. Doing both means you had the skill to complete all the required tasks in the game. Seems exactly the same to me. CAlNlAC

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.

There are idiots on PSN surely but I'd bet theres also a lot less people with headsetsToriko42

TheOwnerOner your lying plain and simple ive noticed a LOT of people with Mics on PSN not only that they use them! Playing Halo 3 Monday not one NOT ONE PERSON spoke during a game! They spoke before hand but never during im sorry but its about equal with the whole mic argument.

Amazing how these revolutions happen whenever the supposed 360 owner gets a RROD. Not buying it, why not just come out and admit what you are? :)

Live has the advantage over PSN, deal with it. It looks better, easier to navigate, easier to use, everything was included from the get-go so it all works together a lot better. PSN lacks, microsoft gives 8 player partys sony gives home. One makes gaming 8X more fun one does nothing but fool disapointed fanboys into thinking there having fun dancing on the same spot for an hour.

PSN isn't *bad* by any means, it gets the job done. It's just not as good and you people need to just accept it and move on. The same as you need to accept the ps3 is not more powerful, wont be more powerful and wont be winning this gen. MGS4 is not hte second coming of jesus.

A lot for you poor fellows to swallow, it must be hard.

PSN probably has less idiots than Live, but there's a reason why Microsoft have a price for online: the service is much, much better. There are more features.dylanmcc

Other than playing your games online, what does Gold offer over Silver? MS has to be the first company to charge people solely for playing their games online with a Player hosted system. Nice of them to charge you for using your own internet connection.

A lot of those are opinions my man. I for one hate the NXE. I much prefered the blades. I do agree that home is a joke and should be cancelled.

[QUOTE="0bscurity"]

[QUOTE="superkoolstud"]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?

Me and my cow buddy talked about this the other day, and cross game chat is big

like if your playing Warhawk and a friend comes online you have to quit the game to talk with him....thats crazy

Cross game invite and a chatroom is worth $50/year? dedicated server for xbl top games not included btw

Is an free online service that has dedicated servers > an $50/year online service that focus on a shopping entice dashboard with online games that are connected to p2p lag fest?

You tell me.

PSN > XBL

PS3 owners lose out big time in terms of console online;

Xbox Live = Best online implementation

Halo 3 = Best adverserial multiplayer

L4D = Best co-operative multiplayer

Not to mention exclusive DLC.

imo live is a lot better. obviouswly home and the fact it being free makes psn pretty good but nothing compared to live. i havent been on psn in months cos it was shocking while i go on live almost everyday. also on psn hardly anybody has a headset. on live you can talk to almost everyone cos most 360's have a headset in the box.R_MAHIL

FALSE

what about that chatroom? everytime i played on live, every body is in party chat and wont communicate with the teammates.

Xbox live doesn't have dedicated servers.

Why don't lemmming never talk about the multiplayer aspect of XBL?

they always talk about the shopping entice dashboard, the messaging invite, the communication. but never the lack of dedicated servers. lets talk about the bullspit of p2p connections.

[QUOTE="cuddlesofwar"][QUOTE="delta3074"]dude i think your the one looking through fanboy goggles, live is better FACT if you asked all the devs which one was the better service they would say xbox live, MS where doing online before sony even bought out the ps1 they have many many more years experience when it comes to online gaming, i can talk to my friends on xbox live even if they are not playing the same game online and lets face it you can't play the no1 online experience on PSN not to mention xbox live has a better movie service, faster download speeds, way more content and it's easier to find your friends for a game, you get what you pay for and something free is never as good as something you pay for.delta3074

Yeah, it is a shame and it's my biggest problem with Live. You'd think MS would go to more effort to have games with dedicated servers. But no, we get Avatars instead.

You pay for xbl so every games should have dedicated servers. Especially games like Halo and all the top titles on xbl.

you dont pay for psn but we still get dedicated servers for resistance, one of the top titles on PSN.

practically everyone on my friends list has a headset, loads more people have them now, think when socom comes out, then thousands more people will have headsetshoosier7

I predict when Socom is released here then approximately 12 more people will have headsets.

and beside, you want to be better than your competitors, xbox live is suppose to be better than psn, right? just becasue some psn games don't have dedicated servers doesn't mean M$ shouldn't add dedicated server to their games. especially if you're gonna add a 50 dollars a year price tag to it.

Resistance wouldnt make it into the top 10 on XBL though, to be fair. Also, dedicated servers aren't so good for games that may not sell well. The developers would shut the serves down if not enough people are playing them.

so team up with players you know that has a mic, problem solved.

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

Cuddlesofwar actually brings up a pretty good point. One of the benefits of p2p based online play which can really help older games is that so long as people are still playing it you can join their room. In like a game like say PDZ for example, a launch title on the 360. You can still find and join a game online pretty easy because its p2p and still a small number of players play it online. Now if on the other hand PDZ was using dedicated servers MS would have likely shut them down cause theres just not enough people playing to justify the expense of running the servers. So basically you're out of luck if that happens. Still though I would like to see more games using dedicated servers on XBL.CAlNlAC

do me a favor... halo 2 was a very popular p2p online game for it time... go try to find a match and tell me how long it took.

go test out all the old p2p games
