Which is/will be better? I say XBL. The PSN is the same price, but they haven't even worked out their initial glitches. It's slow, ugly, unuser friendly, and the online just has nothing special. They're offering a few free games each year and automatic firmware downloads FOR FIFTY **** DOLLARS? WHAT? It's stupid and a plot to make money, to me at least. So, let's hear your opinions.

I can tell you right now: PSN+ is going to win. Obvious.

What troubles me is that Cows have gone on a rampage for paying for anything relating to online, (see XBL price bashing). And now they say PSN+ is great? Geez, what happened to "Omg $50 too expensive". Wait:

PSN+ is basically a rental service, so I'll go with XBL.

PSN+ vs XBLGold, I'll go with XBLGold.

I wish the PSN+ would at least let you have the option to change your PSN ID. Ah well.

PSN+ is a big flop, I mean talking to your friend thats not even in your game is way better than getting free games, discounts on games and DLC, getting access to betas, and other numerous features. Talking to my bud for $50 is way better than paying for an optional service that offers $200- $300 worth of stuff a year (15 months actually, they give you 3 months free and you also get LBP for keeps)

See how it got voted the #1 wanted feature on playstation.com a few weeks back I'm going to guess you're in the minority with that opinion.

Wouldn't everyone that used PSN have to vote for that to be true? I mean I didn't even know about the vote so it doesnt really prove it's the majorities opinion.
