XBOX Live (Gold) vs PSN

Which of the two services do you prefer?

XBOX Live *Pros* - User friendly, unified, built into every game, more people on than PSN, more people with mics, usually first with patches/updates, faster updates,

*Cons* - Fee $50/year, P2P, rarely dedicated servers, No wi-fi $100 for bridge.

PSN *Pros* - FREE, (IMO) game store more organized, wi-fi ready, Dedicated servers on SCE games (Resistance, LBP)

*Cons* - Less mics, not as user friendly as XBOX live, longer DL speeds for updates (From past experiences), usually late on patches/updates

So which of the two do you prefer?

XBOXLIVE 6 years ago can do more then PSN can today

Cost shouldn't even be a factor

If 50 dollars a year is too hard of a burden then you have no place gaming. Pick a free hobby like reading books from the library instead.

xbl is much more user friendly

you get what you pay for

4 bucks for by far the best online service on consoles

psn: nothing for nothing

When you can play online matches with 60 players in tell me.hoosier7

and you called people fanboys in the Halo 3 thread? pfft.

psn is basically the bare bones minimum

sony would charge if they could but they know that no one would pay for their pitiful excuse of an online service

[QUOTE="corn_dogs"][QUOTE="Panther501"]Not as user friendly??? is this a joke? download speeds depend on your internet speeds and have nothing to do with PSN or XBL (unless their server is F****Ed up or there is heavy traffic. Panther501

Hearing about how in SOCOM you have to go through a server list, then find a room, then find a match... wtf? Is this Kali.net circa 1993? I'm so used to just hitting quick match or entering in what map/game style to play and the XBL quickly doing the rest. If every game had online thats as easy to use as that, I think cows would happily pay $4 month.Senor_Kami

On the contrary, games that I play online on my PS3 always have tons of people with headsets. The only pro I can honestly think of that 360 has over PSN is invites, because I can barely figure out how to do that with some PS3 games.lantus

I think Xbox Live is by far the better service. Especially with the new party chat I love that so much.Hockey_Slayer

PSN is better of dedicated servers on big games.

Can you imagine how good gears would be with dedicated servers? It would be the best ever. But microsoft is too stingy.

The downloads suck bad on psn but I'll take it if they arent charging me anything and are running servers for my gaming.

Oh yeah. Netflix is awesome on the xbox side. But I still prefer psn.

[QUOTE="Rdiz"][QUOTE="Panther501"] lol and you call me ignorant. guess you never heard of Home, dedicated servers, game store that is much better than xbl, etc..jfcundiff

I dont like the party chat system because it subverts the chat system that is imbedded in the game. For example in Gears when the dead people are talking to the rest of the team in party chat. Otherwise its awesome. They should make it so that the games chat system overrides the party chat.

[QUOTE="jfcundiff"][QUOTE="Rdiz"]home? sorry im not found of pedofiles..dedicated serves? yeah on a few games, xbl has those as well, better game store? ok its offical now you have never even touched a 360 yet alone played one online lets see here last i checked live gets the most demos, live gets the most user content, live has the better interface by far seriously your fanboyism is making you look really bad dude i suggest you stop posting now Rdiz

[QUOTE="Rdiz"][QUOTE="hoosier7"] They are practically the same i've been on TODAY as i own them BOTH and noticed that they are very similar stores. Live has more demos, the interface is definately better on PSN, they have the same amounts of free content.Rdiz

i prefer psn
