psn plus = xblive gold

both cost 50 a year but neither gives you anything of significant value for you 50 dollars.

rent outdated games

or access to a network that would be free on any other platform

I dont know about the PSN but Xbox live Golddoes give you your moneys worth.Last fm,Facebook,netflix,zune,twitter,ESPN and early access to demos.

access to websites you can get for free on the computer is worth 50 a year?

I think of PSN + as less of a counter to XBLG and more of PSN buffet.

You can get all those for free on a pc. But I digress, plus still sucks.

With PSN

• You do not need a paid subscription to use Hulu+
• you do not need apaid subscription to JUST play online
• You do not need a paid subscription to use Netflex
• You do not need a paid subscription to access a lot of materal that is free on PSN

Those who want to pay 50 a year can get EXTRA content and REDUCED prices, and more.More is coming to PSN and it is getting better with each update and upgrade. Most of it will be free while some will be for PSN+

So PSN is not = to Live.

I find Live to give me a better value. With PSN Plus, they assume I want the **** they give me. I havent found anything they offered that made me wish I subscribed to it. Live gives me stuff I actualy use thats not on PSN.

Your paying for stable servers, features given to you like the upcoming ESPN 3 app for free if you pay for it, and access to stuff like that if you pay. As far as I can tell, PSN Plus has yet to give you features free that enhance your experince or give you apps and things like that for free if you subscribe. and it sure as hell dosent enahnce your gaming experince in any way (PSN Plus) Live is more thought out and is overal better right now as a subscription thing.

[QUOTE="Ohthelhama"] That's has nothing to do with the money your paying. That's done, like the interface, skins, silver members get that free... the money isn't giving you value, it's returning something that's yours to begin with... It's shocking you poeple pay for this and don't even know what your paying for... PS+ gave over 80$ worth of content on the FIRST MONTH, still has 11 left...

But are they games I care a bout? That seems to be the Caveat of PSN Plus's Entire existence. Is it stuff I care about?

you guys, these lemmings are right.

Facebook, last.fm, ESPN

These are such amazing content M$ gives to their con$umer$.

M$ really doe$ care about these people. For 45 dollars a year, its so amazing that they are giving them these content for 45 dollars. I mean after all, it would co$t a lot more anywhere else right? Its like paying 45 dollars for 3 amazing contents. M$ care$ about their con$umer$ $o much

I'm much more of a Playstation fan, and i play my PS3 far more then my 360.

but i do not agree with the PSN Plus and Xbox Live Gold camparison.

until PSN Plus starts adding features that can only be accessed while being a PSN Plus user like access to Netflix (which you can do without being a Plus user), Twitter, Facebook, cross-game chat, etc. etc. Then no.

your comparing two different services.

PSN Plus is really a glorified discount card. It is - argueably if you ask me - only worth it if your a heavy PSN subscriber. but i don't believe in renting games while leashed to a subscription service.

Xbox Live on the other hand has more value to it in that it offers to improve the online experience for the user. and if your someone who wants to play with your friends at the fullest capability your gonna need Xbox Live Gold. It's a gated community that works not only peer pressure but also for those ( like me) who like to have access and a lot of things in one place.

To me they are two different services and comparing the two is really silly. it's like comparing an apple and an orange.

lol by that you mean cross game chat,which is like one of the few things live has over PSN,since cross invites,and friend list are on PSN,because online play is the same some games lag some games run great,which is the whole point,why do i care that you want to speak to me while you play Uncharted 2,if i am playing MW2..Please.. no wonder cross game chat was block by Activition,because it ruined the whole experience,since you would be able to chat over the game,and tell your friend were the enemy is coming or where is hiding once you are dead,something you are not suppose to do on hardcore games.

But PSN plus doesn't = live or close,renting games is not free and it never has been free,online play has always been free,and the only one charging is MS on this market,in fact i could live find without PSN+ but since i don't need to pay for online play,and is not mandatory,but on live is you don't pay you don't play,i bet that if MS make a silver version with online free play but without cross game chat and some other options,people would drop live like i stone would drop to the button of the sea.

Servers.? dude the majority of xbox live games are P2P don't run on severs,worst since EA standed up to MS they can kill their games were ever they want,sure they can kill the PS3 versions as well,but i don't pay to play online,you are paying and could not even access those once EA say no more to a game.

But you say the PS3 get no features,dude what about Youtube upload one of the collest feature ever,what about Home has does live has something like home,where you can have your own virtual place free,play games,visit places especifict for several games.? and those were in before PSN + was even out,hell MS even stripped features from silver to make gold look more appealing,like demos the same day,which wasn't like it is now that gold member get them first.

In the end features are meaningless since the core gameplay is what counts,in what live $50 helped MW2 to have less cheaters,less exploits,less lag oh yeah in nothing.

SaudiFury

lol, do you even have a 360? Because it seems like you dont. Live has many features that make it worth the money to the individual. Netflix alone is worth the fee to me, though its different for others. If you only intend to play online with no downloads, then it may not be worth it.navyguy21

but netflix, and facebook are free on psn and the pc so i fail to see the value in paying for something that is free on every other platform.

access to websites you can get for free on the computer is worth 50 a year?

Hardly free last I checked I was paying for my internet service. I actually know a few people who use XBL as there internet service...they are struck for cash and XBL covers all there basic needs for $50 a year...Facebook, Twitter, Espn3. Also you can get XBL for $25-$30 a year pretty easily either with Amazon or through the offers MS puts up on the XBL dashboard.

I also know 1-2 people who use their IPhone's as there primary internet service so...if your a young person living alone sometimes getting basic internet service along with something else your already using makes sense.

There is no competition. PSN Plus is a tacked on afterthought by Sony to generate some revenue from online gaming, whereas Xbox Live is the best console online gaming servie there is.charizard1605

This. I should also mention that those free games they give you are basically rentals.

One is required to play the online portion of your games and the other is not. They are both dependent of the subscriber finding value in their features, but live gold is required for your games to retain their full value on your end.

That's the difference. I do agree neither is worth money, but if I still had a 360 I'd most likely be a gold subscriber to get full use out of it, while as a ps3 owner I'm not inclined to subscribe to ps plus, and don't see that changing anytime soon.

You do buy a license for a game rather than the game itself, because if you owned the game they couldn't sell it anymore. It's semantics. In the end you buy the license for the whole game from the publisher when you buy it, and MS holds your online portion hostage until you pay them.

You can argue this all you want but in the end here's the only thing that matters. Games with online portion cost the same at retail for both ps3 and 360 versions.
