Why does PSN seem to have a more mature community that Live?

I noticed the same thing. When I used to play forza 2, the rooms were full of either annoying kids, stupid racists, or stupid racist annoying kids. When I play on PSN, everyone seems a bit more mature. When I play Tekken online, a lot of people give you respect.

I stopped playing on Live long ago.

What, no one else remembers the KKK rallies on Home? Fact is, there's plenty of riff-raff on PSN. You just don't hear them as often because microphones don't come standard.

Because all the kids of PSN are on SW.

As much of a ps3 fan i am, i cannot agree on this

The emblems....that makes me Lol every time

It most likely has to do with the prices of the two consoles. Kids can't afford a PS3 and parents who aren't involved with gaming choose a console based on price. It's almost the same thing save for blu-ray player, why go with PS3? Becuase it has potential?

why even bother posting? you know it's going to get ignored and lost within the countless "PS3 is for mature gamers" posts :roll:

If sony packaged a headset/mic with the ps3 at launch threads like these would exist

Xbox is bundled with a mic, PS3 is not. Mystery solved. If you want a nice quiet online gaming session, buy yourself a Playstation 3. If you want to experience the HATE MACHINE in full effect, get an Xbox.

[QUOTE="IceBlazerX"][QUOTE="lx_theo"] Probably doubles the 360's sales too. Most people who i talk to that own 360s haven't heard of more than one, maybe two games on the PS3, and don't know any on the 360 beyond Halo and Gears.sensfanVone

Yes it is quite annoying, all my Xbox friends love to insult the PS3 and the fact that I had/want one again.

[QUOTE="sensfanVone"]

[QUOTE="IceBlazerX"] Exactly. My friends are 360 fanboys and ANYTHING that the PS3 has, they think the 360 does better. Either that, or the PS3 copied it. :roll:IceBlazerX

Because Xbox Live has a more diverse community.

Sad but True.

LOL. Lots of unwarranted PS3 fanboy elitism in this thread.

Xbox 360 comes with mics for free, PS3 doesn't and costs $50. That's why.

A single player game and a game that doesn't allow voice chat...

Yeah...shining examples of PSN maturity you've got there...

I don't get how the argument of people having less mics comes into play when you're actually making the comparison of your experience with people who do have mics. That said, I don't think there's a big difference in maturity as to the people I've come across. I've ran into less kids and Mountain Dew fueled rage though. Don't want to generalize why that is but that's just been from my experience.

Just go into call of duty and your mind will change immediately. Though outside of that I haven't had much problems online or encountered too many idiots on PSN. TBH it probably depends more on the game than the system.

Fewer people have mics on PSN. Therefore fewer idiots are talking on PSN.

I pointed out a problem in your statement. Don't jump down my throat because you were wrong.

Besides, I've encountered idiots in all of those games (except LittleBigPlanet) and, yes, even kids. :wink:

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"][QUOTE="IceBlazerX"] Every community has a problem. THe PSN is far way from flawless, but at least it's better then the 360's.IceBlazerX

not sure about that because i dont own a XBOX360. when im on PS3 i almost never run into little kids. if i do its rarely or they dont have a mic so PS3 online is mature.

Yeah, gonna have to disagree with you there, based on my experience with both online communities. The_Game21x

[QUOTE="IceBlazerX"]] Every community has a problem. THe PSN is far way from flawless, but at least it's better then the 360's.The_Game21x

You're both missing the point, to a degree. Now, obviously it varies game to game, but as a multi-console/gaming PC owner, I have found in my time with all three that far more people use mic communication on 360, thereby increasing your chances of coming across some blibbering idiot. With PC you generally use dedicated programs like Teamspeak or even Steam for mic coms, which limits this, and on PS3, simply not as many people communicate, outside of certain games like SOCOM.

Note that this is all in my personal experience, and mostly pertains to shooters like Black Ops, Bad Company 1 and 2, etc.

The PS3 doesn't give out free mics.

Yeah, that's a nice feature. Makes paying up for XBL worth something. Shame PSN hasn't implemented a similar system.
