Well it depends on what you mean by "experience"...

As far as online it'self goes, they are the same so the answer is niether.

If your talking about features and value ect....well it's more complex and comes down to prefrence. Xbox Livehas more features and is a little better integrated than PSN is, so in that regard it is a "better" online experience if you look at it from that perspective. HOWEVER you have to pay to go online with it, so in that regard it is "inferior" experience. PSN is FREE online so it offers a"better" experience in that regard, HOWEVER it's missing a few features and could be better integrated than it is, which makes it "inferior" in that regard.

It just comes down to prefrence and there is no wrong answer to which one sombody prefers. They are both good services.

I think he was asking about consoles, to which I think my answer is the best one.

Any answer other than PC, is wrong ;).

PC is too spread out. Teamspeak, Xfire, Vent, Steam, and the hundreds of in game voip options makes it a real pain imo. Xbox live everyone is in a nice central location.

i'm pretty sure every pc gamer has a steam account...

I only use steam and origin and i dont feel distracted in any way

:lol:

Being free does NOT make it a better experience. Cost or lack of is completely irrelevant.

People always bring up the pay-to-play element XBL has, but that has absolutely no impact on the "experience".

For arguments sake, lets say it was widely accepted XBL was the better experience but you had to pay €500 a month to use it.

That does not make it any better or worse, it would be the exact same experience. You cannot factor price into an argument like this, it has no place here.

I do believe that the only correct answer is: PC.

Why is there no poll? We can never know without a poll. And this would be the PC.

well in the Mind set on Consoles I would choose Xbox Live, It seems a bit more open than PSN for some reason, but PSN isn't as bad, It's online community just seems as quiet as the Wii and 3DS's community, But with all Systems The Best choice is actually the PC, I mean heck I could ask you if we could play Team Fortress 2 right now and we could probably do it without the hassle of turning on our systems, not to mention text chat is easier on PCs than Consoles.

Nothing comes close to PC.

Out of consoles, 360 probably has slighly better online but with the disadvantage that you have to pay for it.

If you like online shooters though, its 360 hands down. PS3 has Killzone 3 with actually VERY good online play, but Halo and Gears take the win in this department.

This is the correct answer.

Agreed, though I wouldn't as much consider the PC as much superior, just "preferred".

For consoles it's XBL ... unfortunately my wallet disagrees.

I think XBL does things better then PSN and vice a versa...so it just boils down to what your friends are on and playing.

I'm a PS3 owner but in my opinion the Xbox has a much better online service. You could argue it isn't as good as the PC but in terms of simplicity and the ability to jump in and play online easily, it's the best platform.

There are almost no kids on PC compared to consoles. Hackers gets banned if they cheat. Even after TF 2 went f2p there are very few hackers.
