PSN for me. I have enough bills and adding another videogame related bill feels....geeky. PSN has improved a lot so I just keep my 360 offline. It also helps me avoid getting RROD.

[QUOTE="360hammer"] Hearsay? Are you telling me that you think the statements I made like being notified when friends come online or the fact I can access friends list in game hearsay? LOL

BTW Here's a link to an article talking about the in game music patent with a link to the accual patent

http://www.ripten.com/2008/03/31/microsoft-owns-patent-for-in-game-custom-soundtracks/

How is that? concise enough for you?

360hammer

OMG, PSN tells you when a friend is online and that makes it equal to XBL....what is the color of the sky in your world?Virtually EVERY multuiplat owner will tell you XBL is way above PSN...

Well now the topic is what are the differences is it not? Again I was just making a point the list I originaly responded to were not all differences as in the friend notification. Obviously you have a hard time reading so you just try and make people look ignorant to hide your own. Not once did I say one was better and I'm not going to. I don't know what part of "What are the differences?" makes you feel the need to respond as if it says " Which one is better?" both are clearly different statements. Friend notification is on both systems is it not? So that's not a difference is it not? You keep on yet really say nothing but argue your opinion.

Maybe you should practice what you preach and read the initial argument. The friend notofocation is used as an enhancement to tre Truematch feature XBL has and PSN doesn't. You didn't even notice that yet resorted to flaming me over it. Come back when you can argue....

Doesnt matter the REASON live has these, its just that it does. and dont lie to yourself, i own a PS3, and PSN DOES NOT have the same level of in game access to everything that 360 does and you know it. Dude, like i said in my post earlier, there is no way a person who HAS NOT experienced LIVE will understand what i mean, so just go use it for a bit, and compare it to PS3, or if you DO own a 360, stop lying to yourself. I have played on both to know the truth

psn is still better it has Home

You can't be serious if you think HOME is an enhancement. It's a major joke....

OK, on PS3 you are notified when friends come online.360hammer

That's not what he meant. On 360, if I load up Halo 3 and there are others on my Friends List who are also playing Halo 3, it will notify me. As soon as the game launches, it pops up a notification "Friends playing Halo 3" and I can click the Guide button to see which of my friends are playing Halo 3.

In other words, you didn't read any of NavyGuys arguments and just continued to wing it through the argument. Thanks for confirming you can't argue. Try again when you can...

What exactly is there to argue about? The topic was about the differences between the two, Navy posted things he made seem only accessable on LIVE which were not all true and I merely pointed out some of those things are not LIVE only even clarified the things that were more in depth on LIVE. The differences between the two are not hearsay or opinion based so I fail to see where the arguement should lie.

Alittle? Any sane person in their right mind would take XBL over PSN for gaming purposes... And I honestly never use the internet browser seeing as they got rid of Hulu.. And just about every one has a computer or laptop which isw ay more convient.

I have all 3 systems and XBOX LIVE is so much better that these threads are only to give comfort to those who do not use it. I refuse to buy any multiplayer or multiplat games for my PS3. The PS3 is a great Blu-Ray player with a few nice titles but stop trying to make it more than it is in its current state.

Total BS. PSN is great the way it is, sure there are a few quirks and issues affecting it, but LIVE has just as many problems.

You say you have all 3 consoles but I doubt that. I've seen your posts and every single one is plagued with pro-360 bias.

Believe what you will, I do in fact have all three and yes I think XBOX 360 is the best console this gen. The PSN is far from being great in its current state and really anyone who knows otherwise will instantly see the fanboy in your response, but good attempt at spinning it =)

PSN's pretty good in my book and a couple of my friends actually prefer it over XBL but hey its opinion that really keeps this board going..Lol at calling people a fanboy yes PSN needs improvement but for a free system what in green hell have you got to complain about it ITS FREE!

Right, you really think this is gonna work? Not stating a single reason why the 360 is better and then calling me the fanboy? :lol: Good try, troll.

If you really did own a PS3, you would've compared the problems. Not posted half-ass responses that are filled with fanboyism.

I say PSN is almost in pair with XBL but XBL still has a little more then PSN. People would argue if the little improvement is worth the yearly fees but that is up the players to decide.

as long as people dont say "PSN lags" i dont know why but that is the #1 thing that X360 boys says in defend of the 360. PSN uses dedicated servers for MOST of its exclusive games.

This is probably the best response. XBL has a few features like in-game voice chat and a standard game inviting feature, but there's pretty much no differences after those. There are lag/network problems with both services so in the end it's whether you feel that your $50 is justified.

This argument has been done to death. Live is better but to some people the extra features do not justify the price tag. End of story. PSN is good if you want to pay online and don't need any bells and whistles. I love how Lemmings justify the price of LIVE with the extras yet downplay the PS3 for its extras. Fanboys. *shakes head*

I am going to say one thing: they are both designed so you can play games on the Internet. The xbox does it for 50 bucks a year. PSN does it for free. PSN wins, because why if I playing battlefield, why do I want to hear my friend who is playing WaW?

I have heard many times that xbox live is superior to PSN, I, for starters, dont doubt this statement for I love Xbox live. But if i ever said this for myself i would be one hell of a hipocryte for i havent had the time to "experiment" with PSN, so i have no comment on its quality...

So what im asking for is for opinions from oondividuals who have had some time with each consoles online service.

Please abstain from fanboyism(?) I just want to hear some main diferences.

Rafandrews

well the only way i can do this since i'm sure you will get swamped with answers is just to list one small example.

the voice chat on newly released battlefield 1943 does not work very well so when me and my rl friends want to get in a squad and play we 1st start an xbl party then go in and make our squads and we can work better as a team since we can talk to each other , the party system rocks

it made bf43 a better game when the ea servers failed me

just one tiny thing among pile of reasons i could bring up but i wanted to keep it simple

I prefer Xbox Live, I've been watching the update previews from Kotaku everything seems faster and smoother and most important even more functional. Here's one of their video on their site. http://kotaku.com/5322006/hands-on-with-xbox-360s-new-dashboard

[QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"]

ok maybe 360 is superior with its live vs psn and all this awesome qualities...but for me only 1 quality matters...lag...

dedicated servers on ps3= no lag > 360 live without dedicated servers = lag = fail..no matter how many things live can do...

no lag > over all qualities of live and trophies/achievments/ in game music etc..

because if there is lag in the game, u wont play the game thus u wont listen to ingame music and cross chat and do so much stuff..

u could say lag yes but halo 3 is another story

XBOX LIVE is superior to PSN, it really is as simple as that.

This is understandable though, seeing as PSN is free.

I'd say they are both pretty even in this category. The XBOX 360 has great exclusives like Braid and The Maw while the Playstation 3 has WipEout HD and Flower.

Xbox Live has the quantity and quality plus all of them have free trials and on top of that they also have the Indie games selections.

For starters PSN is free

second of all PSN provides dedicated servers for its online exclusive, XBL does not
