XBL vs PSN: Back ground downloading as of May 09, 2007 (poor cows)

XBL: you can queue up to SIX (6) tasks to download, and go ahead doing ANYTHING on the 360 besides play online games (for obvious reasons). But it gets better folks! With the latest update, you can even TURN OFF YOUR 360 controller and console's main power and downloads will CONTINUE to go on (in the same fashion that the Wii is connected to the net using a miniscule amount of energy). When everything is completely downloaded, the 360 completely shuts itself off.

PSN: you can download a demo and navigate the PSN store at the same time. And that's about it.

 (note and this XBL's MINOR update vs PSN's MAJOR update.)

Uhm.. You can do anything but play games online when you backround dl stuff from PSN, not just "browse the PSN store" like you said.

Plus, 360 got this update 18 months after it came out. Whos to say that the PS3 wont have the same feature in the same amount of time? 

Only Fanboys say PSN is better then XBL. That does not mean they can not prefer PSN since it is free over XBL. But to say PSN is better then XBL. Is kind of like saying Wii is more powerful then the PS3. Or PC costs 2000. Only blind fanboys say itAcenso

Too bad this is reality...

It took the PS2 about 30-32months after first launch to get online. XbL was 12months. How come we do not bring that up now? The reality is...The PS3 in 2007 has to compete with the 360 in 2007. Not the 360 in 2006. That is a game for fanboys now...Could I say the Xbox had a better first year line up then the PS2? Remember the PS2 came out many months in Japan before NA^^ And during that first year...No MGS...No GT...No FF...No DMC... Get it^^

No, PSN owns XBL becuase of being free (it's a factor for sure) and because of Home. 3D world >>>>>>>>>>>> boring walls of text.

:roll: you got to be kidding right ? this is your big reason why XBL > PSN ? is cause just NOW 18 months later after launch...... you can have your system shutdown after it finish's downloads ????  well F*** a doodle doo :roll: 

Personally Its a useless feature because if I turn my 360 on its to play somthing & if I download somthing its to use it right after it finishes....  I wonder how many people are gonna que up the forza 2 demo and then turn there 360 off and come back 15 min's later to play it.... no one.  Why would you ? its a waste of time, and its wear and tear on your TV's Reciver's and audio equipment by turning it all on and off ( if you have a Logitech Harmony remote like me at least )

But you have to pay for it on the 360. PS3 does it for freeryder05

they are not equivalent.  not yet.

lots of people do.  when demos would come out, people would start it in the morning and check it out when the got home from work/school.  this means the console doesn't have to stay on, using max power to accomplish the same task.

 every download isn't so quick to finish that people can or will just wait.

you must mean the PS3 web browser, because movies are not available on PSN.

Yea everybody knows you can use the ps3's browser to do that but it's kinda slow but it works unlike the wii's.

you have to give sony their dues..they're very clever. using a 3D layout for your online network while not improving the actually service with features that would improve on the gaming experience? genius 

You pay $50, we pay $0...your service should be much better.

All of the new updates he mentioned do not require the Gold subscription.  Therefore, we pay $0, you pay $0.

Not true. There is some content that is exclusive to XBL Gold subscribers.

[QUOTE="ryder05"]But you have to pay for it on the 360. PS3 does it for freeDreams-Visions

they are not equivalent. not yet.

Look, when you actually sit down with an Xbox 360 on a weekend (like I did last week), do a quick overview of everything on the 5 blades, download a bunch of demos and trailers, watch videos, all with a boatload of small tweaks used to streamline the experience, and then realise you haven't even begun to play ONLINE YET, then go back to clumsily bumping around that crappy XMB, watching debunked CG trailers from E3 2005 with nothing to play except rushed games like Motorstorm and dull FPS's like Resistance...

Then realise that the console that you paid $600 for is garbage. And NO, a shoddy ripoff shell of Second Life that's sure to be loaded with pricey addons isn't going to compensate for an actual online service with great content, features and usability.

i don't see the logic PSN pretty much everything xbl can, those that PSN doesn't sony will probably add later on, and home is still coming how is XBL SO much better? i can understand if some people still thing XBL is better but PSN is not that badRagashahs

its just fan boys who dont think home will overshadow XBL. they just dont want to except it. i dont blame them too much. actually i do. take some actions kids after i got 3 red lights i did.

Welcome to system wars where people talk about stuff with no facts and often no experience with the console they bash and logic has no foundation. Here you see the TC claim ownage over psn when you can use the browser to dl whatever you want along with all the free content on psn. You also see fanboys with no ps3's claim psn is slow when I dl sigma in less than 20 min.

Is live better only if you have gold and that is for multiplayer while psn is free imo live gold is not $50 better than psn. However I am sure that my opinion does not equal fact unlike some of the guys here.

how on earth can home..which is still an unproven program..overshadow a online service that has been around for nearly 6 years thats on another console? does that make sense to you?

YOU PAID $600 FOR YOUR CONSOLE. THE 360 COSTS $400. ADD $50 FOR ONLINE EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS, WITH FEATUES AND SERVICES THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE AT LEAST A YEAR AHEAD, MANAGED BY THE BEST SOFTWARE GIANTS IN THE GAMING BUSINESS.

PSN IS BLOWN INTO SMITHEREENS. IT DOES NOT STACK UP. BY THE TIMEIT FINALLY MATCHES UP THE 720 WILL BE OUT.
