What do you want to talk about? Xbox 360's online is better because the community actually exists and the features are well worth the price.

There is probably a topic like this every single day of the year. Why should I pay for broadband internet when I can get dial up for free? I see more value in broadband. The same way some people see more value in Xbox Live over PSN. Is that hard to comprehend?

PSNs community exists too, where have you been? Plus PSN is going to surpass live, also don't give me "you get what you pay for", because you certainly do not.

You get what you pay for XBL>PSN 360=PS3 PSN is good but not XBL good. $50 a YEAR isn't bad considering that I wasted my money on Vampire Rain recently.

Honestly I can't say much, but based on my friends who have both a PS3 and a 360 -- they find that 360 actually has a community and that PSN has no community -- which is also something I've seen too.

Plenty of people have mics, they're included in warhawk and socom, games where strategy matters. CoD4 has plenty of people with mics already, what other game did need to use mic strategy for? Did you really want to talk to a random stranger over a game of rock band?

How is that any different to some PSN users then? People can have mics on PSN (if bought for that person) and choose not to use them also. It works exactly the same both ways. Also some days people just dont want to talk.

I agree, the no Mic argument is flawed and needs to die.

Really? you honestly think that the garbage that is known as PSN even holds a candle to the incredible service of XBL. Sony can honestly continue to play catch up all they want but just know that XBL will ALWAYS be the superior service despite what you say. You DO get what you pay for.

So you rather throw away your money rather than spend it on another game? Oh wait, I suppose Achievements is a MMO game where you earn points for no reason for competition, and this game costs you just "7.3 friggin cents a day". Nice.

Live is really my only gripe with the 360. I don't like paying to play games I already paid to own on an internet connection I'm already paying for.. especially when not all games have dedicated servers. The PC and PS3 got it right as far as online multiplayer is concerned. XBL Arcade has some cool games, though.

But why should anyone have to pay for it when MS is perfectly capable of providing Live for free?

:lol: Teamwork? Socom is gonna have much more "teamwork" than any Xbox live game, I can assure you that, and have you seen the PS3 mic Sony is releasing next month? It blows the 360 mic out of the water.

Yes and 360 users get to stay with that crappy headset while PS3 owners can get the official PS3 headset(best gaming mic ever?) and a wide variety of USB and bluetooth headsets so PS3 wins.

Not only is that an opinion. It could be a down right false statement unless that headset is bundled "IN EVERY COPY" Communication is Teamwork.

Good now I can play games online with my neighbors PS3 and not feel like its a game at a basketball court where everyone has duct tape covering their mouths as to prevent them from speaking.
