Yes PSN is free, thats why some people use matches and others pay for a lighter

Xbox Live is honestly a better service then PSN. Yes PSN is free, but thats why some people use matches and others pay for a lighter. When I played COD MW2 on my brothers PSN i was a bit surprised at the way longer wait times and more laggy gameplay on PSN. MS charges for Xbox Live, but some of that money goes to pay for more servers which makes gameplay better online.. I loved the PS2 by the way. Im not a blind kind of fanboy. I think PS2 sort of had the perfect storm.. they launched 1.5 yrs before the underpowered Gamecube and nearly 2yrs before M$'s first console endeavor XB1 ..

What's wrong with matches??

you still have to pay for matches. your analogy would make more sense if you mentioned that you got the matches for free but then again, it still wouldn't make too much sense. Both services are very easy to use.

I doubt its PSN that makes the games laggy in MW2. I blame the game itself.

But it's free.

So, who is going to take this seriously? SilverChimera

ugh tbh i would rather see a xbl bashing thread than a xbl justification thread.

i have come to terms with what a waste of money it is just like how i waste money on the water filters i buy for my fridgeand the extra $300 or$400 it costs me to run my air conditioning 4 months a year.

just accept that other people have different priorities and let it be.

Moment you said lag was the moment I knew you were lieing. There is no lag on psn in mw2.

how ironic :]

and as for the OP, how much lag = more lag? what was the difference in ping/ms?

psn is better because its free

There really should be some sort of probationary period before thread making is allowed.

Live is P2P (as has been pointed out), so lag comes from host/distance, just like PSN.. STEAM is free (and better). You're paying for something you already paid for, your internet connection AND game content.Deathtransit

2-3 years ago you might have a point, but now I'd rather have the choice of free matches or a paid lighter, like PSN offers.

Lag is situation base nothing to do with PSN or xbl. Since iv had rare lag matches on both serevices which makes this topic null and void.

Matches don't leave a Kerosene taste on your cigar.

Yes, so far ahead of its time in fact that it was released to market with inherent hardware failures. :P

Oh, and OP I still want to know why you put your DPI settings, RAM, and DirectX version on your sig. Is it some form of internet showing off or something? I still don't get it.Messiahbolical-

Cigars always taste better when lit with a match.

Nah, matches work fine. Anybody who smokes knows about bumming free matches from the gas station or quik-e mart when you don't have a lighter.

Wood matches can actually be superior to lighters if, for instance, you're an arsonist who needs to ignite fuel from a distance.

The way you are showing off your rig is just signifying you dont actually know much about it.

if you're out in the Wilderness, Would you go and find some Flint and Stone or rub some Sticks together to get a Fire for FREE, or Hope that you had Bought a Lighter before and Hope that the Lighter still has some fuel.
