What are you talking about VooDooHak answers you EVERYTIME. You just go in that pretend mode that it isn't that impressive...

[QUOTE="tbolt76"][QUOTE="InfiniteBlak"]there is really nothing Live has that PSN doesnt aside from party chat.InfiniteBlak

I don't have any of the problems you mentioned ..but If you paid more than 40USD then I would be pissed to….

Wow, if you found the Live marketplace "lacking in content" and voice chat muddy and muffled on Live, then you are really going to hate PSN.

fakeage confirmed.

this should be in a blog and most of those problems are your own fault

the code isnt wrong you need to look carefully at them

you manged to get ripped off at $150

you are a cow so you went into it ready to hate it anyway

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="InfiniteBlak"] this would be true if we are talking about what comes out of the box, we are not. if that were the case then i could state that i can play online out of the box 360 you have to pay.InfiniteBlak

Check it "Hub731".

It costs 50 and works perfectly. Period.

[QUOTE="xXDante666Xx"]

Explain to me why it is so fantastic again?

The first problem I ran into was the code not being excepted the first 3 times.

Then it forces me to make another profile in order to activate the account. Not giving me the choice of putting all my hard earned work onto my already existing profile that I have had for 2 years. Thus, making all my work for nothing, and complicating everything.

Finally I decided to give up the fight after I call customer service and find out that there is NO way to transfer my achievements, gamerpoints, or anything to my other profile.

After that fiasco I finally decide to just enjoy online. The chat is fuzzy and halfway inaudible. And all the games functions to make an online match are practically the same as on PSN!

Then I decide to check out the store, it's contents are weak, lacking, and the "news" is outdated by at least a couple of weeks. The screens are confusing and cluttered with no real sight of organization. And I spent a $150 bucks for this?

So please, explain to me what constitutes the huge price tag? And why is it that Microsoft feels the need to make things as difficult as possible to maneuver, contact, and deal with? To go on PSN which is free and doesn't have cross game chatting it was as easy as; put in email, put in username, do you want to put on a credit card, and go at the store. I would have much rather gotten all of the free content, less clutter, and ability to KEEP MY CONTENT FROM BEFORE GOING ONLINE. I mean really this is beyond ridiculous and Microsoft acts like you can't live or shouldn't have had the console without LIVE. They need to get their act together about this whole thing.

"The first problem I ran into was the code not being excepted the first 3 times". -So you are incapable of doing something as simple as keying in a code, and you are blaming this on XBOXLIVE? I think your beaf is with the school system.

"Then it forces me to make another profile in order to activate the account". No. It didn't FORCE you to make another profile, you just screwed it up. I put live on a profile I had used for several years, and nobody else had this problem. So again, it's not XBOXLIVE's fault that you are incapable of doing anything right.

I call customer service and find out that there is NO way to transfer my achievements, gamerpoints, or anything to my other profile." -This is a direct result of your previous stupidity. Why would you be able to transfer achievements gamperpoints etc to other profiles? That would eliminate the reason for being able to create multiple profiles.

The chat is fuzzy and halfway inaudible. And all the games functions to make an online match are practically the same as on PSN. -No, the chat is fine. Do you see any other complaints about the chat? If it was really inaudible, don't you think MS would have done something about it in the last 5 years or so? My guess is your Internet sucks...but if cursing XBOXLIVE makes you feel better, continue and see where that path gets you.

"The screens are confusing and cluttered with no real sight of organization." -Again, a reflection of your stupidity. I think I see a pattern forming here.

In conclusion, you screwed up and didn't follow the instructions. Have a good day.

Lol, Now thats ownage.

I wonder if the TC bakes cakes with the amount of FAIL that he posted. Anywayi use both people who use PSN and Xbox Live gold know which is better i dont have to go into it. But it is better organized PSN for the life of me does not organize their new content in new releases so i have to sift through demos of both psp and PS3 games and if i want to look for new content just for ps3 i gotta go through 6 squares of A-F G-H blah blah blah. Why just make a new release section of content for both PSP and PS3 seperately but the amount of content on Live dwarfs the PSN.

PS: Dont include home cause home is GIANT piece of fail that should have had its money be used to make the PSN as a whole better and faster or made to make Gran turismo 5 come out in 09 instead of 2010 for japan and who knows for the US and EU.

You didn't get Xbox Live. I stopped reading at the red highlight because that's a blatant lie. Seriously, cows are now resorting to lieing to try and pretend that PSN is better

[QUOTE="InfiniteBlak"][QUOTE="tbolt76"] That is very far from the truth.tbolt76

How so? I never experanced anything on XBL that said "Wow, that was alot easyer then PSN"

XBL is better intergrated in the games and other uses. It is not always about features. PSN is OK, but it has very little synergy.

Once again, WTH are you talking about... I dont see any differeence playing a game like COD on one or the other.

Reviewing and replying to messages is a chore.

No it's not :|

No cross game invites, heck, I cannot invite a player to a game from the dashboard (sending a message is not thhe same).

Why is sending a message not the same?

All of the features "PSN has" that is also on XBL are tacked on after the fact.

First and foremost, playing games online aren't "tacked on" and other features are there regardless of your disappointment that they are.

Trophies are clunky, and imo uninspring. Why do I have to be online to earn trophies?

Ok now somethings wrong with your storybecause you don't need to be online.

Cross game chat is a nice feature, as is the party system on XBL, but the biggest thing XBL has that PSN is lacking is synergy and the way PSN was pieced together, it will never have it and therefore always be inferior.

It's come round again.. "party chat". A feature that circumvents game design (especially in the case of COD SaD).

You can tote that Synergy word around all you like but the simple fact is that your opinion, even if it is a popular opinion, don't make it fact. Many people, like myself, enjoy the streamlineinterface of PSN. I don't find any of the features difficult to use and I have never experienced any benefit,lag wise, from XLB.

Lets just say that you find it hard to believe someone likes PSN just like I find it hard to believe someone is happy to pay for XBL.

The 360 microphone it comes with is pure crap.

My friends who have 360's always have to buy new ones because either their dog ate the foam, or they stepped on it by accident. And also, my one friend's controller broke where you plug in the microphone, and he had to get a whole new controller.

And for everyone I know with a PS3, they bought a Blue Tooth headset for $20, which is cordless, more durable, more comfortable, and better quality than the 360 one.

For me, I just so happen to have an extra one for my phone lying around my house, so I didn't have to buy one, and also I use my headset for Ventrilo on my computer too. My headset has lasted me almost a year, and it's still in perfect condition, while the 360 headset lasts around 6 months.

I don't know about you, but I rather pay $20 for something better all around, than get the first one for free and keep having to buy new ones for $15 each.

[QUOTE="xXDante666Xx"]

BUT the guys at the 360 board couldn't help me with this but maybe you could. If I was to change my gamertag to my current one from "Hub731" to "Hub119" would all my data be eligible to be transferred?

ArcticWolf77

No. Also....

You did not spend $150 on Live.

If you couldnt get the "code" right, then thats operator error.

If your Chat and online play is bad, maybe its your internet connection and not live

The store contents are not "weak and Lacking". Content is robust on Xbox live. I don't beleive that you have it, if you do, you used it for about 2 minutes

has long has i can jump into a online game talk on the mic iam fine

all that other stuff is just nitpicking

try using a different mike i use the Old Halo 2 greenmic and it works pretty good

Well the first point, how is this the fault of the controller? Your friend should have been more careful. My headset hasn't broken yet, neither has any of my friends even though we use it to talk almost everyday. The second point, this is basically a lie. Why would you buy something everytime? If it breaks, you can geta new wired headset for less than $10 or get a wireless one which is like $30. Lol fanboys need to make better lies

I know he should have been more cafeful, but it's stupid how the microphone goes through the controller.

Also, I am not lying. I could careless if someone over the internet doesn't believe me, because it's the truth.

Also, you bring up the point of the $30 wireless one. Like I said before, you could get a Blue Tooth one for $20, and use it for your computer, PS3, phone or any other things. The 360 wireless one only works for the 360, and it's $10 more. How does that make sense?

Then it forces me to make another profile in order to activate the account. Not giving me the choice of putting all my hard earned work onto my already existing profile that I have had for 2 years. Thus, making all my work for nothing, and complicating everything.

I do agree with the voicechat being fuzzy (depends on the others mic, your mic, or even the game) and the crappy interface. :\ MS should've stuck with the previous dashboard...NXE is just more cluttered and probably slower.

lol wow that is the highest amount of fud i've ever heard.

The 360 mic that comes with the system is cheap and the examples of this are?
A dog chewing on it.
Someone stepping on it.
some one shoving the mic in so hard they dmg their controller?

LOL WOW

And some how a bluetooth headset is so durable it can survive....
A dog chewing on it, someone stepping on it, and someone shoving a usb dongle or usb recharge cable into the usb port with enough force to break the usb port.

and sorry no a 20 dollar bluetooth headset is not better if your paying 20 dollars then your buying the bottom of the heap cheap bluetooth they aren't durable the sound quality is crap, its all around a bad idea to pay such little money for a high tech device.

Haha I think your making up half the stuff that happened to you. I've never had any problems..ever. Never once had to call customer service or anything. And It didnt except the code because you probably put it in wrong. Live is better. And it probably hasnt been updated because its the holidays................

....................You would notice that people actually have MICS on Xboxlive.. Where PSN I come across people with mics once in a blue moon.sSubZerOo

I notice that most people who have mics on both systems maybe shouldn't :P

If you didn't own a usb headset or betterby the end of last gen... I really don't want to talk to you anyway. most of the time, I have my mic muted/off unless I'm with a friend or playing with good players.

just a tangent: I hate blind friend invites, like I'm supposed to remember who you are by playing one match with you last week. Type out a message and ask you lazy bastages :lol:

I took my PS3 to my mom's over Christmas and didn't go online with it. While there, I earned 15 trophies. When I got home and went back online, they synced onto my PSN account. In other words, you're completely wrong.
