Free is better than whatever, plus I could care less about that profile stuff. I'm sure the profile options we get wont be that bad anyway.

to be honest, a lot of those features wont be exploited to a relevant degree on the 360.

and to be honest some more, part of the reason why, is, because a lot of features arent wanted....

yes, sure, there will be the opportunistic poster that will disagree with me, but, nevertheless, XBL only has 2 million subscribers, im betting all they want to do is play their damn games online.

Sony, is going to let developers create their own interface for consumers, and let each developer customize how they want to interact with the players......DLC/payments/etc.

i can see how some people might see XBL as being superior due to features, but all i want to do is play my games online, im not looking to be super social and in depth on my PS3, why would i want that on the 360?

They'll have 10 to 20 year old games that you can download on their service, wow......something you can do now for free on a million roms sites.

That has nothing to do with what anyone here is talking about... let alone the person you quoted o_O

Belive it or not they had once said around 1994 that it would have "Terminator 2" type graphics. It was the Killzone PS3 hype of ten years ago.

Burnadube

spoke like someone who's never had xbox live...

it's crack....once you start.. it's impossible to see gaming w/o it....

i feel bad for the cows claimimg the ps3 online is "free" when you just admitted developers/publishers will charge.. then again, they will have to to offset the cost of creating their online features and servers....

unless you think you can join a game by pushing one button like you can in xbox live...:)

Free PC online > Paid Xbox online

PC gaming is so much easier and more cost effective.

Agreed

Like W.O.W?

Free = you get what you pay for = crap

Free PC Online > X-Box LIVE



pc online is a lot easier to maintain, the resources are there... for console gaming, if you dont pay, it is crud... and you know it

there's NOTHING to "maintain" on xbox live for the gamer.....

pc gaming is not easier than xbox live noob..

unless you think you can join a game by pushing one button like you can in xbox live...:)

UT2K4, I just point and click to join a game.

that's one... only 500 to go...:)

You can use xfire or gamespy....pretty much all the features of xbox live right there. For free too.....

"pretty much" doesn't cut it....:)

xbl still better..

[QUOTE="Burnadube"]

to be honest, a lot of those features wont be exploited to a relevant degree on the 360.

and to be honest some more, part of the reason why, is, because a lot of features arent wanted....

yes, sure, there will be the opportunistic poster that will disagree with me, but, nevertheless, XBL only has 2 million subscribers, im betting all they want to do is play their damn games online.

Sony, is going to let developers create their own interface for consumers, and let each developer customize how they want to interact with the players......DLC/payments/etc.

i can see how some people might see XBL as being superior due to features, but all i want to do is play my games online, im not looking to be super social and in depth on my PS3, why would i want that on the 360?

spoke like someone who's never had xbox live...

it's crack....once you start.. it's impossible to see gaming w/o it....

i feel bad for the cows claimimg the ps3 online is "free" when you just admitted developers/publishers will charge.. then again, they will have to to offset the cost of creating their online features and servers....


Spoken like someone who's a blind fanboy.

I had live for 3 months... and I saw gaming without it.

Managing PC gaming online is not as hard as people make it. There are countless servers and many websites dedicated for online gaming. Finding servers is just a click of a button away... then simply a double click when you find the one you want.

And with the mouse and keyboard, you can glide through the menus in no time.
