Xbox Live will always be a better online service than PSN.

It already is a much better service, but it will always evolve more than PSN, and it will always be more ambitious. We should expect this as well since we are paying for the service as well. What do you see xbox live evolving to in the next couple of years. Ideas are welcome..... Thanks...

Its better in terms of features however PSN has proven to be equal if not, better than XBL as far as online gaming goes.

All the PSN needs is cross game chat, then they are on par

This.

Cross game chat is literally the only thing separating the two. Couple that with the fact that PS3 games have dedicated servers most of the time (though I never get lag on XBL) and I'd say PSN is at least on par with XBL when it gets cross game chat.

PSN is great and remember the service keeps on getting better and better.. for a free service its great

It damn well should for $50/year.

in game chat? achievements? Yeah it likes to copy what the trend setter xbox live sets. It will copy on further as well....

we know this, I think Natal will have alot of functionality with Live as well, IE navigation through the menus and so on. Avatar mimicking you....

please when PSN has a game like Halo on it, or even Gears with the staying power of the multiplayer than please talk. It flat out doesnt compare, nobody has mics, and its not as streamlined. You are also a cow. :roll:

PrimusGears

It's quite clear you have never even played a PS3 game online. No one has mics? I have been running into people with mics constantly since Socom came out. Warhawk had alot having mics but not most. With Socom's release and the official PS3 mic, most have mics.

I suppose it's fitting to call you a lemming? :roll: Some people can appreciate multiple consoles. *gasp*

weaker servers

Thanks for opening my eyes and reveal this obvious fact, you really ought to twitter it and tell all your facebook friends. :lol:

Whatever makes you feel comfortable to keep on paying M$ I guess.

Not when MS ups the charges from $50 a year to $100 a year.

Weaker servers...hmm....so dedicated servers are weaker than P2P?

You should be comparing free to free not free to paid. When you compare wii to ps3 its a huge difference. If sony got money i'm sure they would even do better than XBL.

My thoughts exactly LOL. On topic, what do I see going on with Live in 2 years? Easy, more and more shock and awe to suck those pennies out your pockets in the form of points so you don't think too much about it. Where do I see PSN? I see it focusing more on gaming online like the 256 player matches I played in a Beta and it was wonderful LOL :twisted:

Yes it is especially when PSN games are getting no support and they shut down servers. Here's another Sony game getting the plugged pulled.

It's because XBL is funded by our monthly subscriptions in a way your point is moot. One feature XBL cant touch is dedicated servers on some games like PSN. Love that because it's just like PC.

I think that the Psn is doing so many updates to keep up with xbl,

and the ps3 does it come with a voice kit???

Well there are no players so why keep it open. Also the gap of xbl and psn arent that big. All I really see that live has over psn is cross game chat/party chat voice andPSN doesint haveinstint invite with in the psn itself. Besides that I get the same experiance from live and psn. I dont mention crap like twitter and facebook because it doesint make my gaming experiance better. So is live better at the moment yea,but not by much.

I don't know why you count this as PSN con... so i can say that 360 avatars are cons too?

I've tried both a little bit and find them pretty much equal I don't really care for the on-line thing but like I said pretty much equal.

There both pretty much the same except Live you pay $50 a year.

We pay more for Xbox Live....therefore it's better! Good thinkin'.Brownesque

no for ease of usage, and are you still waiting for cross-game chat lol, well dont worry, i had that for a long long time. Its ok, there is a reason why Halo 3 and Gears are being played and games like Resistance 2 and flagship Killzone 2 are not being played online. The proof is in the pudding, and I guess 20 million subscribers agree with me, and NOT you.

Well by Netflix in PS3 they mean Media Server streaming from PC, not a Netflix via browser. PS3 browser got only Flash and Java (if im not mistaken) plugins

Umm people have been and still are using netflix on PC and either streaming or ordering stuff. So yea its not like its hard to use a pc also no 50 dollar fee. Also people use facebook and twitter on laptops/PC and phones which are more convinet.
