PSN-

Pros:Free, go on interent, upcoming home looks promising

Cons:Apparently has more online issues than Xbox

Xbox Live-

Pros:

Cons:Cost money,

I own a ps3 not an Xbox so i don't know pros or cons of Xbox Live besides price. But with the upcoming Home on PSN I think Sony will have a winner.

XBL does cost money, but its a small fee compared to what it gets you. I'm personally very satisfied with it.

If you dont know much about one of the systems, how can you favor one over the other.

I have both a 360 and PS3 and then Main differences that I notice are 360's friend's list is easier to monitor as of right now... Although, the PS3 seems to be improving a Lot...

For online game play I would still go with the 360 personally because I know more people that I play with on it...

such a fanboy comparision. psn is getting better but is pale in comparision to live. this coming from a guy that owns a ps3 and a 360. also the ps3's web browser is lacking. needs a updated flash player for one, also it can handle that much running like two or three tabs at once due to low memory.

50$ per year is $4 and change per month. The cost is really not a con. I own and play on both. Live is superior.

Xbox360 Pros- (1) Extensive Live arcade collection (150+ games) all with free demos that even silver members can use with new ones coming every week. (2) Large quantity of DLC for new and old games. (3) When patches are needed for games they are out promptly. (4) Personal Soundtracks in games (5) Streaming music/movies through windows media player on your PC (I use Tversity) (6) Hundreds of movies and TV shows (7) Cross game invites (8) Voice/Video chat within games or even on the dashboard (9) Ability to check messages, send messages, add M$ points on xbox.com Stream HD movies without having to "wait a minute" (10) Fast downloads (11) Great implemented friends list system (12) Achievements Cons- (1) Costs money (2) Too much microtransactions, I personally hate the microtransactions for gamerpics and themes (3) I don't like the current blade system (4) Cant save text or picture messages to your HDD

Why compare PSN to Xbox Live if all you know about Xbox Live is that it costs $50 a year?

I don't really find the browser for PS3 that big of a plus, the lack of flash support and low memory is a pain in the ass. If they were to add flash support and make it where it doesn't crash when you try to load a page like gamespot then it would be ok. You can't even do basic stuff like check your email on it.

This whole thread fails.

Everybody agrees that Nintendo's online service wins.

Pros: Free, Friend Codes(they keep you safe)

Cons: There are none, because I said so!

slight sarcasm ^

I honestly don't understand some of you that favor PSN over Live. I don't want to make assumptions or anything, but I have trouble believing you've played both substantially. If you had I think you'd see how ludicrous your claims are. Live offers the better experience hands down in my eyes, and while I appreciate what PSN offers for no fees at all it has a lot of catching up to do in my eyes.

Yes. Good lag is when you can play just fine, but the other team can't even move. Giving you plenty of free kills. But see, whats good lag for some is bad lag for others. Its... like a cycle... man.

LOL.

So like the guy implied above, why didn't you just say "I hate the XBox"? It would have more to the point.

ok heres the verdict. Xbox Live right now is better than PSN in terms of the quality you get and is apparently worth the price. However PSN being free and all with the ability to acess the internet may overtake Xbox Live if the ps3 had more RAM and newer flash players. experience may improve exspecially with the upcoming HOME.

stuff they give you xbox live should be free

online gaming is not new thing its been done long time on PC's thanks to stuff like gamespy

just MS is smart $50 year or 14 month for people that think online gaming is wroth paying for thats a quick million ever year

kinda sad i pay 50 for live yet games that i do play lag a little cod4,gears

but I pay for nothing on psn and games like warhawk and fall of man as yet to lag.

home looks like a cool idea. but it still lacks a great trophy support (i know its new, but they should have got a lot of the devs for there older exclusives to guarentee trophy support as soon as they launched the system) like achievements, a better way of manageing friends, in game music accross the board. having the web browser wont make it thats what a pc is for.

I had to trade ps3 version Bad Company for xbox version because ps3's is almost unplayable! It was lagging so often that I said I will never buy any multiplatform for my PS3. Xbox cost you but you get what you payed for - no lag and bigger community. Oh and you get VOICE SUPPORT!!! Yeah, how could I forget that I played Army of Two in PSN cooperative WHITHOUT VOICE SUPPORT! Just imagine to play BC without communicating with your team. That is Bullsh*t
