PSN now = to Xlive

It pretty much is now with today's 2.7 update with in-game video/voice chat with 16 people and in-game text chat. I don't see any advantages of Xlive now.

Only in game text chat was added in the 2.7 update...

Actually Live is still better. All we got was cross game text chat, and a few things that are not so useful. Xbox live still has more to it and is still a more user-friendly service.tylergamereview

More user-friendly yes, but you can do anything on PSN as on xlive now. You didn't mention the video chat with 16 players that's in-game now.

Wait i thought cows dont care about features 'all i want to do is play a game online' now they cant seem to stop asking for them, on XBL i rarely see myself saying 'wow XBL really needs this' and one must also remember the spring update soon which will further make PSN look lackluster.yoyo462001

PSN is now better. Not equal. PSN has:

1) the best multiplayer graphics.

2) best multiplayer sounds.

3) best way to create and share user generated contents.

4) Most relaxing/soothing game.

5) Most fair multiplayer cometition--no host advantage as in LIVE.

6) largest multiplayer HD battles.

7) I can go on.

The point is the bells and whistles of LIVE don't equal the advantages of PSN. Remember LIVE is limited by Xbox 360's inferior hardware.

Here's the video that shows what was added.

Nah, Live is a lot more user friendly, and still has more features. It's also more convenient.

I'll spend my 8 pennies a day on that instead.

Your #1 should be xlive is $50 per ID and PSN is unlimited IDs free. #2 should be you buy a PSN game once and can share it free with 4 other PS3s and xlive doesn't allow this.

From the source: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/04/01/ps3-firmware-v270-update/

"The 2.70 update brings a new Text Chat feature that enables you to communicate online with your PlayStation Network friends. Now, you'll be able to chat with up to 15 online friends"

No video/voice chat.

It has chat among 16 people now and in-game text chat. It's free for unlimited IDs, so all 5 people in a house can have their own trophies and auto game saves without paying each time.

Spoken like someone who doesn't own a 360.

XBL Silver accounts (FREE) can have their own trophies and game saves as well.

Of all the points you could have made, you choose the one that's false.

Yes, because Me buying a game and downloading it and letting my 2 brother in laws log in to my account and download all of them for free is terrible. Sony needs to be like MS and start controlling everything and charging for everything. Being a little nice and lenient so your gamers don't feel like they're soaked for $$$ every which way possible is a terrible thing. Sony makes less than M$ makes because they're fair.

you can make ids for free with live and for a fee you can change your id and keep all of your achievements. you cant change your psn id you have to make a new one and lose all your trophies

_SWAG_

For a Fee$$, you got it M$ has thought of every way to make money on everything possible thing with the 360. Amazing you people put up with it and it's 360s failing left and right for over 3 years. I had a 360 for 8 months and it got a failed HDD followed by RRoD and the replacement was freezingevery 15-20 mins. I wised up!

I love how Sony keeps updating the PS3 like that, this way XBL could eventually become totally free.

Buy a 360 and a PS3 put them side by side and put a dvd in the 360 and a bluray movie in the PS3. PS3 advantage.

Take a 360 game and a PS3 game and see how easily you can scratch a 360 disc and a PS3 disc. PS3 advantage gained.

Then try to hook up WiFI on 360 and PS3, try to web browse, upgrade each one's HDD as high as possible and compare the capacity and price. 500gb PS3 for $120 360 160 gb HDD $120, insert a disc into each and see which is better PS3 auto discdrive or 360 disctray, sign up 5 people on PSN and 5 on Xlive, PSN = $0 xlive = $250. Get the picture!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble tc, but we still don't have in game video/voice chat.

lebanese_boy

No, it'll just keep getting people to defend the 360 even though it's abvious that the PS3 has way more to it for less. 360 controllers use AA batteries and PS3 is rechargeable, PS3 has WiFI, PS3 web browser, Bluray HD movie player, auto disc drive, on and on, but it doesn't matter.

LOL LEMMINGS

IF MULTIPLATFORMS WERE CREATED ON PS3 THEN THEY cant be ported on 360 because it is inferior.

They have to create it on 360 so it can run on both.

BTW PSN > live.

Why? because im not paying to play online lol

Exactly, if created on PS3 first then it wouldn't work on a 3 processor system after being created on a 7 processor system.

I can't figure! The Wii is blowing them both out and it's way further behind the PS3 than the 360. Why is the Wii outselling both of them? Go figure?
