Better Buddies list system,

Achievements,

HD movies on big HD tv,

Compare all stats againts others,

Inside box, so you can really feel part of a community,

Live Arcade,

Super fast patch updates,

Ok sure you can do most of this on PC. But it's just not as nicely integrated on PC. And i know most hermits will say this is fail. But really it's not. Live is the best gaming online network on the planet.

The only thing PC online does better is mods for games.

Steam,xfire etc. Hell, even copy pasting an ip address works.

PC gamers have had buddy lists for erm...how long now?

P.S- No ammount of achievements can beat having nothing but dedicated servers to play on.

You can add any non-Steam game to Steam. I don't see what the problem is.

but it doesnt support the games that I have the discs for. There are games that I have bought that are also on Steam, but I cant use them on Steam because I have the retail version.

That's my only complaint

The only real benefit with XBL I see compared to PC online for me personaly is when I just wanna play with my friends, in some PC games it can be downright impossible for whatever ever reason to connect to eachother unless we both connect to a public server and I never run in to simular problems on XBL. If the PC game is Steampowered however this is never an issue.

Better Buddies list system, -SteamFriends, Xfire, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC.

Achievements, -Because the great thing about xbox360 isn't beating a game it's showing everyone online that i did.

HD movies on big HD tv, -HD Movies on HD Monitors

Compare all stats againts others, -HLstatx, WoWarmory, etc.

Inside box, so you can really feel part of a community, -Steamfriends, Xfire

Live Arcade, Freeware, Not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of puzzle and arcade games you can buy on the PC.

Super fast patch updates, -Free updates, software and DLC. Did I mention that Steam is free? You know, you don't have to pay for it. Just FYI.

Ok sure you can do most of this on PC. But it's just not as nicely integrated on PC. And i know most hermits will say this is fail. But really it's not. Live is the best gaming online network on the planet. - That you have to pay for in addition to your monthly internet bill

The only thing PC online does better is mods for games. Mods >>>>> Everything else on this list.

Why people keep comparing Xbox Live/PSN to PC online I'll never know. Anyone with half a brain knows that PC is better than console in every way (If you can afford it of course). More space, more power, better storage facilities (Yes PC can have blu-ray drives), free user created mods and so on. The only place that consoles have over a PC is price point, which is the main reason for consoles to exist in the first place. If you are purely into gaming it's better to pay less for better hardware, if you enjoy a PC or have to have superior graphics in anything you're doing other than gaming it's better to go with a high end PC. Anyone with half a brain knows this.

PC gaming is too buggy for me and there isn't enough games for it that I care about. Crysis was fun until the end of the game and the MP was just bad.

meh not to be troll but even PSN is better than XBL...think about it. it is mod capable(UT3) KB/M support (UT3 and web browser & messages) dedicated servers(UT3, Resistance ,CoD4, warhawk,take your pick) a ton of people in matches(R:fom,warhawk) and soon trophies. :? and who cares about TrueSkill I mean think.. if the people are 2 noobie then leave the damned game.
